Brighton’s manager publicly speaking about wanting Cowill in his team. Surely this is illegal or classed as an illegal approach?

{Ed002's Note - Of course not.}

It's tapping up if they speak directly to Levi himself without the permission of Chelsea.

Not illegal if they comment on it in the media, though if I were Chelsea I wouldn't be happy with that behaviour at all. They want Colwill and that's all well and good, but with other clubs like Liverpool interested I don't see how they would have the money to buy him even if Chelsea were willing to sell. Pool would likely outbid them.

Caicedo is a brilliant player. If Chelsea indeed offered 75 mil + bonuses and Brighton rejected it, then I'd suggest we walk away and go for another option. Brilliant player, but not the only one in the world. Even I as a fan am tired of the dealings with Brighton.

I have not been pleased with the speed to which we are getting players in, no doubt the recruitment team must have been putting great shift. But caicedo isn't the only under 22yo DM around? he was recruited for under 5m, and now they are been ridiculous because of some perceived desperation. I wish we could look at other options earlier as the protracted negotiations won't do us any good. scout should look around for quality young dm. At worst I'd take partey for a year loan while the scout do their job. Brighton are been ridiculous, colwill is a no go area for whatever trick they have up their sleeve.
who knows anything about dusan tadic transfer, he seems available after ending his deal with Ajax. His stat is ridiculously great and at 28, he's a bait worth bitting.

De Zebri hasn’t broken any rules but most coaches wouldn’t mention players who are at other clubs. There are two scenarios; De Zebri thought is was okay to do so as his own opinion or the hierarchy at Brighton encouraged him to do it to try to unsettle Colwill.
