Yep, he's the perfect "case study / poster boy" for how we expect our players to behave and then be rewarded with their big move.
He even signed a new contract before the World Cup, which I imagine came with assurances he could leave if the price is right (maybe even a bit below asking price)...
Btw, turning on Caicedo is EXACTLY what his agents want you to do.
DON'T DO IT.
He's got his family and agents in his ear 24/7 orchestrating this shit so they can get rich quicker.
Don't fall for it. Don't give them the reaction they want. Otherwise they win.
even if Caicedo's agents push him to hand in a transfer request, I can’t see us allowing a move until the summer.
meanwhile, what’s he going to do? mope around? play like crap? can’t see him doing that. hype dies, clubs will lose interest quickly. and it would be unlike him.
we have to draw...
i wondered about this. My theory is that having a footballing family keeps his feet on the ground. A father and brothers to glean experience from in regards to his career, money, etc.
Haven't watched the whole interview but I agree that talking about your own experiences does work at opening...
Thing is, when a manager is underperforming, most football fans want their manager sacked. And at most clubs these managers are sacked, quite frequently.
Same thing goes for players. They are dropped, loaned out, transferred out, etc.
Football fans (and Chairmans) are not particularly loyal to...
Twitter is depressing the hell out of me right now.
Our own supporters putting a price tag on Caicedo.
The answer should be "NO". End of.
He's already the first name on the team-sheet for club and country (I could sort of understand Cucurella's urgency given that the manager of Spain was...
He's going to break our transfer record for sure. What a talent.
Definitely built tough as well.
There's a lot to be said for players who are available 99% of the time, without niggling / recurring injuries (e.g. Rashford, Maddison, even Haaland, etc.). Something that nobody really talks about...
The app is up and running for the 22/23 season.
Don't think the NSC and Albion Analytics leagues have been "renewed" yet?
Only my third season but I think my team would auto-join if the leagues are "renewed" as opposed to recreated...?
Interesting.
My 10yr old (youngest) brother, who I stated is autistic in another post, is like this.
I've played video games with him and he immediately understands the game on a completely different level. Like he's in the designer's heads.
He's not really interested in football but he spent...
My Dad has an autistic son (from his third marriage), my youngest brother.
In the process of studying up on Autism and living with it, he realised that he is also more than likely considered autistic, or at least on the spectrum (my Dad, I mean - if that wasn't clear).
From my lifetime...
