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

Just a reminder to those who might have the audacity to feel optimistic... member this?

It was absolutely true, no agreement had been reached to sell him at that time. And the messages were very different - with Caicedo it has been “not for sale, try the summer” repeatedly.

Cucurella was in the summer, not in the last few days of the window in January with the club in the FA Cup last 16 and 6th in the league.

I’m not saying it can’t happen, but the two examples are very different in my opinion and have been managed very differently

And why are the media peddling the idea that another 5 million will make any difference?

Sensationalism like sex sells

On a side note, I completely understand the stance of a club when they use the phrase "Not for Sale"

However, the pedant in me really can't stand the phrase. It really irks me.

Ring ring
"Brighton and Hove albion. How can I help?"
"Hi. It's Arsenal. We want to bid for Moises Caicedo"
"He's NOT FOR SA...."
"yeah, yeah we know. but we'd like to offe....."
"He's NOT FOR SALE. No matter what you say, HE'S NOT FOR SALE!"
"£190m?"
"Will that be cheque or Bacs transfer?"

This was because the AGENTS released a 'done deal' message while Bloom and co were still squeezing Chelsea for more money!

Imagine thinking you were going to sign one of the very best 21 year olds in world football and ending up with Jorginho.

Yes. It stated a fact, at that moment, not later proven incorrect.

Whereas the club via Naylor are saying that MC's going nowhere.

However this now means Chelsea have room for another midfielder … especially if Gallagher goes

Yes sir

There’s only two possibilities- TB is telling the truth when he’s said he’s not for sale or he’s bluffing to raise the price ever higher and trouser an enormous fee.

Got a feeling after the binfest and coverage this has got that he’s not for sale at any price now - hope so cos that will be a fantastic statement for the rest of the season and for future player discipline and future transfer fee negotiations- if he sells now even at an extortionate amount I think he would have lost some respect from us - and Andy Naylor will be toast too.

Agree, the indirect value we (hopefully) earn today in being a club that you don’t push around is significant for future windows.

With this in mind, can’t see Bloom sanctioning a move today because of this. Naturally if we were offered significant cash and players we wanted then maybe different

Actually yes that was very different. But I was bloody certain he wasn't going anywhere when they came out with that tweet....

In a few hours: 'Following the sale of Jorginho, Chelsea are lining up a gazillion dollar move for Moises Caicedo'

Imagine making such a big public song and dance about pursuing Caicedo and ending up with another old Chelsea cast-off. Could only be Arsenal.

Indeed. Nothing I have ever watched has made me once think 'Wow, what a great player that lad is'.
