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

[SeagullinExile]

I hope It’s off the mark, but one of my regulars (a recently retired ex pro) reckons this is a done deal. His agent (boo!) told him as much earlier apparently.

Fingers crossed he’s wrong.

 

[Kosh]

Wonder what happened to looney. Legend.

No, it really isn't. And the club are trying to hold onto him, so they clearly disagree with you.



It is completely relevant. While Chelsea and Arsenal are much bigger than Fulham and Burnley, Brighton are much much bigger than we were in the Championship. Stephens thought it might be his only chance to play in the best league in the world, so he wanted to take the chance. Injury apart, this is clearly not going to be Caicedo's only opportunity to play for a top 6 club. So the comparison is a sensible one.


We haven't. I think you're talking shit.






No, it's you claiming to know best. I'm happy with the what the club are doing.

Well that’s cheered me up… hilarious.

As ever, you’re so blinded by your need to be 100% right all of the time… no give no take, it’s literally all about your take.

You’re wrong about this one, hugely wrong - force him to stay and we’ll regret it… moreover I don’t want honest fans paying his ‘meagre’ salary if he’s not 100% committed to this club … he’s not , clearly he’s compromised and his actions… well, it’s left him with the look of a man without a shred of credibility…

I’m focussed errrmmmm I’m not focussed, I’m happy to stay errmmm I’m not…. Pathetic.

If you want to support a player/agent like this, then fine… I guess I’d credited you with wayyyyy too much intelligence.

Brighton and Naive Albion.

Wanted to be Brighton manager, interviewed and not appointed. Can't remember if it was pre or post Hughton.

I never knew that, crikey, we lucked out.

With a mischievous sense of humour, I loved it when he was manager of Villa. My son and I spent each televised Villa game in stitches as they lurched from one on-field or off-midfield crisis to another. Their hopeless squad etched in our p-taking minds. Gutted when he was sacked.

Results are simple things.

2.16 points per game = more/better than 1.56 points per game.

Not sure why I’m bothering, but Potter has gained 1.36 points per game since he went to Chelsea. The better comparison in this case is how each manager has done in their new environment. RDZ has done better than Potter. Much better when you consider all the resources at the disposal of Chelsea.
I’m sure Chelsea will soon have an improved points/game ratio - but that will be on the back of Chelsea spending obscene sums of money.
Potter is a good coach, but undoubtedly RDZ is better.

Transfer news was much more straight-forward back in the day...

 

[Springal]

Swanny does have a point - in the league I’m not convinced the results have been much better than Potter end of last / beginning of this season. Given the ‘equals’ are squad / players available.

Let’s see after Muff & Palace where we are

And you’ve ignored every other factor…like I said too simplistic a view

Havnt Chelsea got any transfer business brewing that you can chat about on the Chelsea forum?

Except he spent years on here saying "results don't matter" and "teams with better players and bigger budgets will always do better" and now he's reduced to picking a very specific and small data set to back up his agenda.

What a Ceefax page.

Bergkamp, Platt, Gullit, Collymore, Hansen. What a line up !

Would any of them get in our first 11 ? Maybe Hansen?

 

[ManOfSussex]

He's a kid from a developing country. His wages and his agent's actions fill a lot of pockets, including family. We're Brighton and Hove Albion. He'd never heard of us 5 years ago. We're playing in the top 10 of the Premier League - this is what happens.

Doubt it. He's 67.

 

[Stat Brother]

I can't believe it's taken 239 pages on MOISES CAICEDO before it's become Potter v De Zerbi.

This is a poor effort from all concerned, it's taken 238 pages more than usual.

There are two deals to be done.

1. Arsenal and Caicedo, against tapping up laws, have done a deal.

2. Will TB allow a deal to even get off the ground? He holds all the cards.

By 11pm Tuesday you’ll know if your regular got his deals mixed up or not.

Those “kids” United were reliant on went on to dominate the league and Liverpool had to wait for 20 plus years to win another title. Up there with Michael Fish for being so wrong

I don’t understand this view. So are we supposed to do an employee job satisfaction survey every week ? Anything less than 100 % commitment and we ship them out on a free ? Sorry about the facetiousness but this is exactly the line pushed by Leeds fans during the Ben White saga. Caicedo can go if Arsenal pay Tony’s price. Everybody knows that including the player. He’s just trying it on.

Results is a small part of the job but if someone says that the results are better when they're not, then I'm going to comment on the "results" thing and not on other aspects.

If we look at the old management vs the new management in its entirety instead, there's indeed things that are better and things that aren't better now.

'You'll never win anything with kids' - Alan Hansen.

I know this to be true, as I've seen it on www.Ceefax page 311.

................and shame on the miserable slugs that made it so. As if it matters!

 

[LamieRobertson]

@Swansman I know you're a fan of saying results don't matter so simply put we are just much better to watch under RDZ. I'm actually looking forward to going to the Amex after it being a chore under Potter.

It’s a metric he hasn’t quite grasped….I wonder if Chelsea feel that way compared to their previous boss

In the end, only 2 matters. Arsenal can do any deal they like with Caicedo, but if TB holds Caicedo to his contract, he's not going anywhere.
