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

[oldboyroy]

Providing no last minute super money bids that we couldn't turn down I am still pinching myself that we, little ol Brighton turning down 70 big 1s!! Just how far we've come is astonishing and long may it continue. I really feel that Roberto has had huge influence on this and TB/PB have backed him totally.

 

[Machiavelli]

I know that he's a proper journalist, but I don't get what he gets out of spouting this stuff, other than a bigger ego? Or is he on the take from agents?

As for the transfer window as a whole, I was amazed to hear that Spanish La Liga clubs combined had spent less than £30m in this window – 14 (I think) have done no business at all!

I think he gets paid by more than (players) agents. I suspect there's an income there from certain clubs (let's call them those that want to set up a Super League) for Fab to unsettle players that they want to sign. Arsenal might just have slipped him a brown envelope this window.

Don’t get me wrong old boy, I’d love him to stay, but a fractured dressing room is counterproductive, if he gets his head right great, unfortunately with the money on offer and the agent constantly playing the shithousery role that’s a big ask.

Once the window is shut, what shithousery can the agent do? The agent will simply hope he goes in the summer, there's not a lot of point in the agent whining for the next 4 months.

Given the sums of money we're talking about (not just his potential sale fee, but also his value to the club in the meantime) then it makes sense for the club to do what they can to keep everyone working together. And it's in Caicedo's interest to play well for the next 4 months. I don't see why you think it's unlikely he can continue to work well with the club, when others have managed it before.

Does anyone know whether the high value deal for the other player that Moises agents have on board went through?

 

[Lever]

Going on?

First time I’ve mentioned those exact words, he’s not the first Albion player to have his head turned and he clearly won’t be the last, it’s just the timing doesn’t help.

I trust RDZ and he has said Caicedo was poorly advised, is a 'good guy' and the club needs him to stay for the rest of the season if we are to challenge for a European place. That suggests he thinks there will be no fall out if/when the player returns to training. I think the manager and owner have a better idea of the situation than we do so we really should go with that, rather than being so 'trigger-happy.....'

It looks like skybet have called it a day and closed the market. Excellent.

Splendid.

FFS Harty what are you on. First your stupid article and now this, have you lost your mind?

I think he only gets to call himself a journalist due to the very low bar by what we get to call journalists these days. I'm fairly certain most of his 'news' is just aggregated from other stuff churned in the cesspit.

Has Harty actually lost the plot the past 48 hours? Stick to the day job mate

 

[Oh_aye]

Well someone's not in the whatsapp group.

Leverkusen laughed at Tottenhams lowball 20m offer and nothing has been said since as far as I’ve read on twitter.

There is only one poster on the board who thinks that Caicedo will be a problem tomorrow! He clearly needs more clicks on his bait-piece?

 

[The Wizard]

There’s no evidence to suggest Moises will cause trouble in the dressing room, everyone who talks about him says he’s a humble and harmless guy with a very laid back personality.

His statement stunt was highly unprofessional, and extremely out of character, I’m almost certain orchestrated by his agent trying to force the move but equally he must take some blame for allowing that to go out.

My bet is, they will make up, few social media posts and he will continue to be a very important player for us until he leaves during the summer when we have a chance to adequately replace him.

 

[oldboyroy]

If, and it's a big IF Moises mopes around sulking he'll be hammered and dropped without any hesitation. 99.9% sure he'll knuckle down and be welcomed back by everyone(despite having the piss taken out of him for a day or 2

I agree with all of that.

But, and I freely admit to a bit of wishful thinking, I do wonder if the difficulty he has caused, may cause him to reconsider when the summer comes. We shall see.

Nailed on photos or videos of him absolutely playing the goat with his other S American chums at training tomorrow.

There won’t be a fractured dressing room. The players know the game. It only becomes an issue if he doesn’t pull his weight in training (forever now known as doing a Trossard) and in matches.

 

[The Fits]

Re dressing room issues. Every single ex player I've heard or read on this has said players will literally not give a shit about it.

duck off (excuse the typo)

Don't make me spell out all the inaccuracies for you, in detail. It would waste my time, and would make uncomfortable reading for you!
