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

[Not Andy Naylor]

The ‘succession planning’ is working fine - as long as we keep players at essential moments. This is a pivotal one. Keep him till June and we send a message we are serious contenders. Sell him now, with a chance of Top Six, and we send a message that we are a feeder club.

Nail on head. PB or DW need to speak to the rest of the senior players and explain that none of this will affect their ambitions when the time and the offer is right - but that this is taking the p*ss, is disrespectful to them as well as the club and that the club will be holding Caicedo to his contract.

We looked like the best team in the league against Liverpool!

With Caicedo in the team yes we did

 

[Springal]

anyway… are any of his 10 brothers & sisters any good at football ?

Honestly not sure where the £100m price tag came from but seems popular. I actually think the real tag is a little less.

Right now I personally wouldnt accept anything under £150m

Would like to be able to see inside PB and TB head right now !!

 

[Springal]

The fact Brighton are briefing the ‘wont sell’ story so wide, I really, really hope they stick to that

 

[mugstud]

When I first read it this morning I thought “agent trying to force a move” but reading it back now it reads more like a genuine message of thanks and goodbye like a deal has been done rather than someone begging to be let go.

Was he injured? I hoped he was being rested.

Either way, I'm going to enjoy Arsenal blowing up with Tross getting some abuse from the entitled Arsenal fans. Sure this is going to happen in the second half of the season.

Ribs injury.

I would imagine they are very comfortable. Beats the position of a lot of clubs struggling to pay their bills. Nice problem to have.

This is a game of chess that I wouldnt like to be playing. f*** knows how this will turn out.

 

[Weststander]

I’m assuming that is his agent writing that bollocks. Whoever it is, it is patronising, condescending and downright rude. I hope our club does everything it can to curtail players and agents calling the shots, contracts need to be more enforceable.

Contracts have enough enforceability.

It’s whether the owning club is minded to resist the pressure.

I do .. we the fans lose out

 

[raymondo]

Fair enough.
I would look at earning four to five times more money by Wednesday
It would hurt a bit to say goodbye to a couple of mates but hey ho.
I would be worried that I could get a long term injury before Wednesday which would put at risk my ability to earn four or five times my current salary
Respect and loyalty left football many many years ago

Sad but true

 

[Da Man Clay]

All fine but he doesn’t actually hold any of the cards. He can want what he likes but he is under contract. This is not comparable to you or I getting a better job offer because we do not get given contracts of several years duration. Well, I don’t anyway.

Yeah - not the way football works though. If Caicedo wants to go he’ll be off. Contracts are worthless nowadays.

Totally unprofessional. What happened to our dickhead test ?

 

[brighton_tom]

I just dont see how players behave like this and can have any sense of moral high ground or think they're acting in the right way. Making that crap statement and then not turning up to training, clearly you're the one in the wrong. Such poor behaviour.

£3500 won't hurt him much.....
