Christ homesick, I had a family to support at near enough that age Caicedo came to a foreign country to play his football and he’s two years younger. No wonder he never grows up if people keep wiping his arse.

Why on earth would he feel homesick at Middlesbrough, when he doesn't seem to have had any problem moving from Ireland to Brighton at the age of 16?
So how come he doesn't feel homesick, hundreds of miles from home, on £20K or £30K a week at Brighton? Never mind him blocking some other youngster from the U23 team - a random northern outpost is exactly what he needs at the moment, with no options but to travel 'home' on the team bus with the rest of the team rather than (allegedly) buggering off 'home' to Brighton on his own.
Ross County or Inverness Caley Thistle would be my choices (or maybe somewhere like Rochdale or Bradford would be far enough). Re-learn how to score goals and have a decent career - or don't. Apparantly the Lucinda option is no longer available; that might help.

Duplicate post.
Quite, some of us were working at 16, left home at 17, mortgage at 20 earning less a year than this particular slack arsed idiot earns a week. If I hadn't done that and been dedicated and hard working I'd have been on the streets. . . .and compared to many I had it easy, just took my oportunity and stuck to it.
Difficult to have any sympathy for a 'professional' stealing a fortune for a living and doing nothing to justify any of it.

Anyone would feel homesick living in Middlesborough!
Not if it was their home ...............................

They would feel away sick!
In fairness, that was a short window of around 40min and many of us were busy watching Albion play Spurs.

He failed at the Last Chance Saloon in Middlesbrough.
How many last chances does he get ?
Time to get rid. Can't stand him.

I regularly take the piss out of a mate I go to the football with who used to watch AC before he made the first team. He constantly raved about him and kept telling me how good he was going to be when he broke into the first team squad.

AC …..is a goal scorer ….,let’s hope that continues . …
He was good. Connolly haters can froth and stamp their feet as much as they like, but the fact is he was bloody good back then.

Well quite, which is why so many have lost patience with him. For whatever reason he is wasting his talent.
You've got a hell of a lot of resentment in front of you if you think Middlesbrough was 'last chance saloon'.
I agree, for a brief peroiod he was the only player we had who would just nip in and get a touch, like Marray, didn't have to be a worldies, just enough to deflect it in . . . More goal scoring instinct than Maupay IMO. However, he's completely lost his way . . . . If he's intelligent enough, which I doubt, he needs to listen, keep his head down and concentrate on his personal management as well as his football development.

Can’t see him being in the 25 next season so it won’t be with us.
He's only 22.

As above.
He's 22.
Ferguson will be on loan.
unWelbeck seemingly staying.
5 substitutions allowed.
The club unlikely to buy an Alpha Dog #1 striker.
So basically the battle for 'unused sub' is between Connolly and Zeqiri.
If I were you I wouldn't be throwing my toys out in June, when you're quite likely to have months of opportunities ahead.
