Even an already relegated Wolves somehow still manage to get well up for it for an Arsenal game

You don't see me talk down on Cole Palmer for a reason. He chats with Bergkamp, Ozil and the likes. Caicedo? He is the defensive Bernado Silva. Chats with the likes of Lavia, Wharton, and Mainoo. It is a different level.

Caicedo is an athletic Mohammed Elneny. Keeps the ball, passes it on, runs around, kicks people to the ground. Nothing special to tell your kids of. He is an extra on the scene for football's superheroes. One of those excitable characters that die at the beginning of every movie

HOT TAKE🌶️Arsenal won’t spend more than £25m on Madueke. Chelsea needs to raise £60 million before they can register their new players for the UCL. They don’t have many assets to sell right now. Arsenal know they’re in a bind. Berta has agreed terms with the player, put it into the media that the player wants out, and… waited. There’s simply no way a club haggling over payment plans (Eze / Gyökeres), or spending more on overall fees so they can pay in installments (Zubimendi), would overpay a club desperate to shift bodies to be ready for next season. Arsenal won’t pay £50m. They won’t pay £40m. I suspect the opening bid will be £25m with add-ons. The club has to be creative to build out the squad beyond the core buys requested. Chelsea are leaking the higher bid to save face. People need to calm down on the fee venting. Suspect this deal will drag out until the end of the window. Stay calm, everything will be ok.

🚨🔴⚪️ EXCL: Arsenal have submitted initial bid for Noni Madueke around £50m package, add-ons included. Chelsea want more than £50m fixed as Elanga/similar deals remain their reference. Good relationship between clubs as talks continue, Madueke agreed terms with Arsenal.
