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

and you're earning less than 4k p/w at Brighton

He's earning more than that. Somewhere between 20-30k pw. Lots of people on twitter have read a crap outdated website taken it as fact to think he's on the low wages you suggest.

 

[Weststander]

Imagine if the club were bold enough to hold someone to their contract when they have a strop and refuse to train because they want a move. What are they going to do, refuse to play for the next two years? Nobody would touch them, it would ruin their career. It would cost us a lot of money in the short term, but I genuinely think it would make us money in the long term by sending out a message.

I’m hoping that TB takes that approach, but to an extent, selling in the summer.

The reason to an extent, obviously to gain the cash flow from a sale.

 

[el punal]

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

I’d take a punt and sign the lot of them. That way you’ve got a complete reserve team, add a goalie to the mix, job done. After that just wait for Arsenal or Chelsea to come sniffing round and screw them for every penny.

Refusing to train

I would actually trust the Daily Mail more than that bloke

 

[oldboyroy]

Simple fact is we cannot compete with wages paid by most of premier league and that's the reason agents and vultures do what they like and get away with it.

I would actually trust the Daily Mail more than that bloke

Which is quite an admission

I'm not sure I see it like that. Taking Caicedo as an example...

1. The club lose out on £70-80m in the very short-term.
2. Caicedo walks away in two years to join whichever club he likes, earning a massive signing-on fee and wages to match.
3. Any other player the Albion try and sign will be thinking "look what Brighton did to Caicedo - I don't want to be part of that. Mr Agent - can you find me somewhere else to join please?"

I think we'd lose in every way imaginable.

Yep….not ‘not turned up’, more ‘been told to stay away’.

 

[um bongo molongo]

I wonder what a ‘huge bid’ is in Tony’s mind. Hope it’s £100m+

 

[B-right-on]

So WE have given him the time off. Romano made it about the player

 

[dazzer6666]

Latest from Billy Bullshit - even he seems to have got the message (or copied it from someone else)

Should have done that with Trossard. Less essential to team, and fewer friends in the camp.

Yep told to come back when the window is closed! That's you staying son!

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Romano is a shit stirring ****. Yesterday he was implying that Caicedo was told/asked not to be at training, now he's saying he didn't turn up. Don't believe a word this prick says his only agenda is to push the transfer and try and drive a wedge between the club/fans and Moises.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

That makes sense. Stay away from training. Minimise the disruption to the squad. You ain't going nowhere.

Suits some of the shit stirring reporters to spin that as "refusing to train".

 

[B-right-on]

Obviously the club have let it known that
1. Time off is our choice
2. He's still not for sale unless a massive bid comes in

Well played TB and PB

Moisés Caicedo asks to leave Brighton for ‘magnificent opportunity’ elsewhere

Moisés Caicedo asks to leave Brighton for ‘magnificent opportunity’ elsewhere

Moisés Caicedo appears set on leaving Brighton this month after posting a series of tweets following a £60m bid from Arsenal

www.theguardian.com

And yet given no club is actually buying him at present it begs the question exactly what opportunity that is?

He's not got another club to go to at present.

 

[sparkie]

£3500 won't hurt him much.....

Isn't that £3500 figure a mistake/made up which has been repeated and repeated so much that it has become FACT ?

What was the original source ?
