Same thing you guys did to Arsenal last year with Mudryk.
Except Mudryk was an unknown quantity. Caceido has proven his worth and is definitely going to go for 100m if Rice went for that amount.
Think the new owners were feeling themselves too much and wanted to make a splash with Mudryk. One of the ramifications of doing a bad deal like that is you end up trying to save face elsewhere and here we are.
Directors spending 3 months insisting they wouldn't pay a 100m to then offer 100m anyway and
not get the player is an all-time fumble.
The biggest loser out of all this is Pochettino because he's definitely been reassured all summer Caicedo was happening and now he starts the season with Tyler Adams. I'd be amazed if he lasts the two years he signed up for.
