Moises Caicedo

[El Duderino]

I don't think Brighton will do us dirty like Shakthar. They'll have a fee in mind and if we meet it the player decides.

We're going back for a third player, all negociations ran fine. They'll counter with what they want and we'll likely pay it, I think.

Can't be giving Chelsea any room to operate if we want the player.

 

[SA Gunner]

Caicedo is ready to step into the the team, and already play a role due to his PL experience, possibly in our existing playing system too (235/325 buildup). A good understudy to TP5 at this point.

Would be a safe choice for a team chasing the title, possibly more than Camavinga at this point.

Good news.

 

[El Duderino]

Interesting.

Any reliable source on this, tho?

Check the Brighton newspapers, Romano's actual source should be there.

Crucial thing here is not ****ing around if there's a deal to be done. We dont want to encourage Chelsea to match any bid and Brighton will want time to sign someone.

 

[AmsterdamGunner]

I would like Caicedo. Another young player to add to the Arteta kids. This way we can dominate the league the next couple of years.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

What a signing this will be, buzzing

 

[ragnarock]

Not seen much of him. Is he more of a ball-winning 8 than a 6?

 

[GoonerJeeves]

I know I shouldn’t care but I feel bad for Brighton loool teams getting raided makes me feel kinda bad.
I’m a weak ***** I know

I don't think you have to. Their entire business model is built on an excellent ability to identify players that they sell for a big profit. They probably already have a replacement in mind.

 

[HollandGooner]

Think he could add what we need guys, just need Chelsea to **** off.

This is our rotation six, with Rice coming in as our rotation six/eight IMO.

The super thing is, Caicedo is equally good as an 8.

Reminds me of Yaya at Barca. Can play anywhere in midfield to a high level due to the immense quality of the player

Romano seems to have a line to the player’s agent(s).

 

[TheGreatWright8]

Would be a great signing but I don't believe Brighton would sell.

 

[North5]

Tbh I trust Tets to take any player with good raw qualities and a good mentality and drastically improve him more.

 

[Rasmi]

Rice got dominated by a poor man’s caicedo in the World Cup in Tyler Durden

Carrying the ball, passing range. Just a much more rounded player for me.

Rice is doing that in a much less progressive team than Moises too.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

[Albion] - Moises Caicedo - New contract signed until summer 2027 with 1 year extra option.

Not ignoring those bits, but we all know TB is under no pressure to sell... I just don't understand where the figure has come from - £75m has probably just been made up by the journalist I know mate. I guess like everyone else I just find the whole speculation and hysteria around it...

Brighton fans not keen on selling him in the January window. They are hoping for Europe.

 

[OnlyOne]

Surely with how well connected we are with Brighton we'd know their valuation and whether they really won't sell? I think this has legs, unfortunately.

 

[Iwobeast]

Can't see Brighton selling one of their most important players unless it's for a ridiculous fee, they have a decent shot at Europe

 

[Blankety Blank]

Rice biggest strength is carrying the ball forward, which Caicedo is better at. Caicedo is also better defensively and tackling, while being more powerful and dribbles better.

Both their passing range is similar and unimaginative.

Fair do's its about opinion not sure Caicedo is better at ball carrying & think Rice is a better passer than he gets credit for !
Anyhow I would be happy with either or both tbh.
Looks like we are serious about Caciedo.
Problem is you just know that if we get close to reaching an agreement with any of them that sloppy turd at Chelsea will likely gazump it.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Mods slacking here btw.

Hagn would have the waning gibbous moon phase emoji up now we know Edu has his Brighton counterpart around for a BBQ to thrash this deal out.

When Edu's BBQ tongs knock, it's a different kind of knock.

why so opposed?
