Find a copy of the Times on Monday and read the long article by journo who went to Santo Domingo and Quito interviewing some of the influences on him. MC had just left the country having visited where he used to live, and speaking in English to schoolkids. He doesn't forget his roots, and his Mum wont let him. The 20% share of the fee will go towards building academy and training facilities. It puts a different perspective on things. I agree that the hangers on have had there day, but there is a lot more to the man than 'not very bright and easily influenced'.

Only because there were no bidders on Guy Butters!
You make the assumption that Bloom & Barber would have sold.
My point is that windows should shut when seasons start. Simple.

Given the whole circus that has taken place around this transfer, with accusations that we lock our players up, we have just debunked that myth. Once again showing that we can be trusted to build a players career.
This should therefore reassure players who think they need a release clause to rethink … if they had a release clause of £50m and were sold for there or thereabouts the wages would have corresponded. With the strength of our negotiating team realising great prices, this should follow with greater bargaining power for the players wages.
If this is a near record sale, I wonder if the terms that had been agreed weeks ago would have reflected a fee of that status?
Obviously gutted that he is leaving but clearly his heart isn’t it anymore, but hope that one positive from this is that we have shown we can be trusted and with patience if you are that good, you will reap the reward. (And so will we

Why are so many of our fans convinced Caicedo is some kind of simpleton?

In the news talking about his difficult start at Chelsea and that.....
Liverpool agreed a £111m deal with Brighton for Caicedo before he chose to join Chelsea, a move he attributed to the Blues' sustained show of interest.
"Chelsea was with me for a couple of months. I could not miss out on them. Because they were with me in tough moments when Brighton didn’t want to let me go," Caicedo added.
Right'O those tough moments when the club did not want to sell you for 70 million and finally got ourselves and no doubt yourself a better deal,
tough moments my shiny chrome dome, tosser.

A very good player for us, but the perfect example of why agents should be banned and ‘player managers’ regulated. All they do is turn young guys into instant NDP failures.

Are you still driving that Renault Megane? Yeah? Can I just read you something from Top Gear magazine? No, it’s alright, I’ve got it here, I’ve got it here.
“With a mere ninety break-horse-power available, progress is too leisurely to be called fast, but on the motorway in fifth gear the Megane’s slow pace really becomes a pain. Uphill runs become power-sappingly mundane, while overtaking National Express coaches can become a long, drawn-out affair.” Not my words, @Wozza . The words of Top Gear magazine. Hello?

Awww bless him! He had a tough time at Brighton because he wanted to f off when Arsenal came calling and was told NO. Then, after getting on with it (and, fair play for doing it) he then has a further difficult time in close season because, despite a good pay rise given, he wanted to join Chelsea but Brighton wanted a good price for him so it dragged on for a few weeks!
