[Albion] New experiences for Caicedo

[Biscuit Barrel]

That 9 year contract must feel like a prison sentence to Moises right now.

Maybe he could try and escape underneath a food delivery van when it leave Cobham.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Yes, of course. I've said this before and I'll say it again: Chelsea fans, whilst often very intelligent and articulate on wider subjects, are some of the thickest fans in the game, football-wise.

Honestly, I've had better conversations with my labrador about football

I find the labradors we’ve had are actually pretty good for most conversations. They look deep into your eyes and love you unconditionally - actually Moises probably needs one at that idiot club right now!

 

[raymondo]

let them, mugs.
we can buy him back in the summer, for a knock down price.

Nah... he'd never accept the reduction in wages. No returns.

 

[Lever]

Reflecting on the Caicedo sale......

 

[GT49er]

Nah... he'd never accept the reduction in wages. No returns.

Perhaps he could ask his agent to make up the difference?

He’s gone - wish him good luck except obviously when he’s playing against us and I personally think we should move on .

We have lots of our own newbies to talk about .

No-one is forcing you to participate in the thread or indeed even to read it. I thought you stated in other threads that you believe in freedom of choice. Potter and Knockeart have also moved on but you have recently commented about them on threads along with a host of players who don't play for us. Are you saying it is okay for you but no-one else to comment on previous players whilst we are all free to comment on any player that hasn't played for us?

About Richie Barker? Glenn Furry? The England WAGS?

Thinking back he never made any headlines when he had his loan in Belgium. Is this really a case that he did only look good in our system? It really will be hilarious if he doesn’t come good at all.

On the contrary, it’s Chelsea who must be trembling at the prospect of having to pay him for 9 years.

Never been a standout in the 10 or so games I've seen for equador. Pervis always better (and I'm not just saying that !!)

We would not have identified him as a great prospect nor would he have gained rave reviews whilst still in South America were that the case. He is a fantastic player. You can't polish a turd but it appears that Chelsea can transform a diamond into one.

I think it's just as likely that he looks bad in Chelsea's system. I think he would be doing much better at Liverpool next to Mac.

People also forget that he's only 21, and while his footballing ability is potentially world class, he may still be mentally fragile. The fee he was sold for, to a club with such entitled fans, will be putting a lot of pressure on him to perform - something he didn't really have at Brighton.

 

[JBizzle]

Just coming back to this... Watching the Chelsea highlights for a laugh, and has anyone else noticed that Caicedo never seems to break out of a mild jog/casual amble these days? May still have an injury, of course, but he just appears incredibly slow and immobile in that team.

Maybe the pots of money achieving his dream of playing for Chelsea has dulled his motivatoin?

 

[JetsetJimbo]

Chelsea highlights

That's an oxymoron if I ever saw one (see, I DID learn something in Mr Halon's year 8 English class!)

It’s probably obvious to state it, but it shows what a great coach RDZ actually is..clearly he motivates players to play for him but also seems to know when to put an arm around a shoulder or two (eg Solly). Struggling to think of any current players he hasn’t improved. For Moises to leave that environment and go into a way more pressured one, where the burden of his transfer fee plus the entitlement of the fans and the expectation of the owner, is a huge change and one which the young man seems to be struggling with. Shame he was so badly advised through the whole shambles.

 

[Oh_aye]

He has gone and I wish him no luck at all. I hope he has a torrid time at that empty void of a tourist club.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

If it were to happen, Caicedo v Baleba on Wednesday could prove to be a fascinating and instructive Battle Of The Beasts

 

[Stato]

That's a bit uncharitable. I think what you meant to say was that you wish him no luck at all once the 'acheivable' add-ons have been triggered. Good luck with your number of appearances Moises. (It looks like we're already kissing goodbye to the third based on European qualification).

Like Biss under Conte last season?
