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

[GoingUp]

Without sounding telepathic....... I can Caicedo initially being fine to stay until the summer but his agent is probably telling him, you've got a huge family and you're earning less than 4k p/w at Brighton, you could get injured next week and ruin the chance to earn 60k p/w etc, etc, etc and planted the seeds.

It would be a nightmare losing him in this window.

Refusing to train

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. Can’t see any other outcome now.

 

[dwayne]

Totally unprofessional. What happened to our dickhead test ?

Yer but this one is totally predictable. Agents will tell him not to turn up and better he doesn't until window closes.

 

[Mancgull]

i Think a lot of players have someone to manage their social media. some will probably just like content from colleagues without reading it properly

The post looked initially like a BHA post due to the club emblem. I think those that liked it can be forgiven for that, especially those where English isn’t their first language

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

So let's get this clear. He is in a contract. He has NOT submitted a transfer request. He is refusing to train.

How much, if any, of that is verified?

I don't mind MC leaving in the end but I wonder what impact it might have on DeZerbi?

 

[dwayne]

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. Can’t see any other outcome now.

Better he doesn't turn up to training and disrupt squad. I'm fine with this.

 

[Springal]

And by the way - if we do buckle , then it sets a poor example to the squad that basically - don’t turn up to training and you’ll get a move.

 

[raymondo]

I imagine Uncle Tony will let it go down to the wire to maximise Arsenal's payment or get a Chelsea coubterbid. I can't see him staying now.
Ten siblings made up for life...more important than loyalty to any club.

Refusing to train

Plenty of Arsenal fans replying to that not impressed with him.

Alex Crooke says this on twitter...

''The narrative that #BHAFC have over-valued Caicedo is laughable and quite sinister. They're the ones who took a punt on him and it's up to them how much they sell for. That's the way the transfer world works. If nobody wants to pay it he will not be allowed to force his way out.''

Well done that man for fighting our corner.

I don't mind MC leaving in the end but I wonder what impact it might have on DeZerbi?

He's a man of principle. It might make him feel even closer to Brighton seeing them handle this so well.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

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

How so? We hold his registration. If contracts were worthless then Arsenal wouldn’t have offered us 60 million quid for that registration so they can offer him a ….contract.

 

[Wozza]

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.

No.

 

[Springal]

By the way it is also entirely plausible that the club told him not to turn up

 

[Gringer Seagull]

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.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

£3500 won't hurt him much.....

Except that he's on c. £25k/week according to the list @Bozza shared

 

[raymondo]

The Caicedo family could do with hiring an agent to deal with Caicedo's agent

I think they're going to do very well out of this one

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Nope

I really hope that this isn't true, sad if it is.
