[Albion] [Caicedo] cleared out his locker at Brighton five days ago and has not been back at the club since

[Cheggers]

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.

Everybody is aware that it goes on and accepts it I know, but doesn't this kind of openly imply constant tapping up of our then player by Chelsea?

Not my words, Carol.

Presumably the teams that played them were playing on a different and better pitch

Not sure we want to start throwing stones in this particular greenhouse.

Ooops, which we've never done?

In a recent chat, PBOBE mentioned we broke the transfer record twice when selling him. Must have had a 30 minute break clause with Liverpool.

Spent months with our guys in Argentina speaking with Mac Allister and his family

Slightly(!) off topic, but this seems like a reasonable place for it rather than a new thread .............................. from one who couldn't wait to clear his locker and sever all ties with Brighton, here's a nice story from the BBC about an ex-player who did pretty much the opposite, our very own Bobby Z.

Their playing careers went in contrasting directions, but Bobby Zamora believes old mate Luke Williams is heading to the top as a coach with Swansea City.

Heartwarming, thanks for posting

I don't doubt we have. I just question why some seemingly illegal (not sure if that is correct) actions of clubs and agents are met with a collective shrug of the shoulders whilst some are seen as morally wrong. Either murky behaviour is monitored and clamped down on, or it is just left to slide, and everyone wastes time chasing their tails and complaining, with nothing changing. Why is it that clubs passing information to Romano to unsettle players of other teams is seen as morally reprehensible, but tapping up is seemingly OK? And who was the fourth gunperson on the grassy knoll?...

Great article. It’s also interesting that Luke Williams worked with us for a while.

Great article. It’s also interesting that Luke Williams worked with us for a while.

He's also very much into the same style of play. If his career continues in the current trajectory, he'll be a manager candidate in 43 years when Hurzeler retires.

Always loved this thread title - always makes me laugh whenever it pops up on NSC

Thanks for posting this - had no idea Zamora and Williams even knew each other, let alone had such a close bond.

Great player on his day, but quite the W.
