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

[Tyrone Biggums]

IB 6454 arrived early in Madrid (was due 14.25, has already landed)

Hopefully we had someone there to meet him to make sure Norwich weren't waiting there when he got off the plane.

Really excited for this one. Just hope we can somehow keep hold of Bissouma too

Friend of a friend has claimed to have picked him up from the airport and taken him to the Brighton area.

I know nothing more.

These videos are all very well but Zeqiri has one in a similar vein and as desperate as I am for him to be the new Peter Ward I can’t help thinking that they just heap more pressure on a player when they arrive

I think Moises is coming with more rave reviews, from more observers, than Zeqiri did. He's been pursued by plenty of very large clubs, unlike Zeqiri. I don't disagree about the expectation, but this lad seems to have something about him.

Man Utd, AC Milan & Chelsea seem to be the 3 that were most interested. The NYT article was telling on why they didn’t sign him. It was too complicated with around three independent agencies claiming to represent the lad. You then get that big club arrogance of thinking that the player should be honoured to sign for their clubs and if can’t get it done quick, they move onto the next target. It’s amazing that Tony & Paul have people who can untie those incredibly complex ownership and rights knots with us coming out on top.

Moises is potentially in a small group of players we could have (including Lamptey) that could be seen as our best signings ever (in terms of quality and transfer fee value).

Looking at the clips of this young man, he’s surely not for the U23’s ?

It really does seem like an incredible coup.
Feels like we can sign anyone (wages allowing) now. Very exciting, and can't wait to see this kid play.

Looks like an exciting signing. We have moved on from collecting centre backs and are now on to central midfielders.

Yes, if we land this one, kudos to our club’s leaders

Zequiri wasn’t being linked with a number of top European clubs. Man Utd wanted to get Moises and only pulled out due to an issue with his agents.

It's quite touching. You sometimes forget these players are just kids.

Don't say that. It might stop people booing him the second he makes a mistake.

I’d assume he’d have had assurances (like Zeqiri?) that the 1st team is his destination to have enabled us to have beaten off Man Utd, Chelsea and the Magpie’s desperate last minute attempt of kleptoparasitism.

But to be honest, it means we can quote stupid money (£50m+) for Bissouma in the Summer knowing we can sell because we have a replacement.

Ahem!
Two replacements, Messrs Moder and Caicedo.

We have not seen either of them play yet. I think I will reserve judgement until I have seem them perform in the EPL.

Man Utd were interested enough in Reda Khadra to give him a trial before we signed him. Let's hope they've missed out on two future stars.

You are so right. Moving moments of a lad leaving his home and family, his team mates and his country to go half way across the world to ply his trade as a footballer for comparative riches. He'll be much better with Brighton than a mega club. Time to settle in the UK, learn the language without a Manc accent and English culture with only the expectations of NSC to deal with rather than the World media that follows the likes of Man Ure and their every move. Plenty of Spanish speakers around the club and first team to ease him in and I'll try and manage down my optimism and enthusiasm for this one. As you say, he's just a kid and he's going to feel very vulnerable at first.
