How on earth do you know how Caicedo made his decision. The truth is you have no idea so dont be so arrogant. I suspect it was all about living in London near friends, family etc. He is after all very young and Liverpool is culturally hugely different from London. Wish the guy luck and see what happens
That’s so sweet……

Moises was used to playing in a TEAM who all know what is expected of them, have a great camaraderie, an owner and vice chairman who actually care about them and play to a system instigated by a GREAT coach, whereas he now plays with a bunch of egoists who all want to be top of the pile, be it transfer value or wages, and as a result despise each other. Not to mention an overrated manager, the clueless cowboy Todd and the most plastic and toxic fans on the planet.

Yep and Liverpool being a well known cultural desert (irony alert for the hard of thinking) would have impacted so heavily on his agent, his own sense of familial obligation, various parasites...follow the money and you'll find the answer. Rocket science it is not.

Irony on irony. Can you do irony quoting an already ironic post?

Played golf with a couple of Chelsea fans yesterday. Both told me that caicedo is even worse than cuc and potter and they would send him back for free.

I pointed out that that statement shows so much wrong with chelsea but they just said I was ignorant about expected performance at better sides. I pointed out we are substantially better than Chelsea at the moment and they laughed at me.

It was a weird day.

I love this Graham Nash song. When it failed as a single, the other Hollies told him, back to the bubblegum way or the highway. Nash left, and the rest, as they say, is history.

I hope one of them went by the name of Todd B.

If he was making his decision for footballing / career development reasons there is zero doubt that Liverpool was the right choice. With Chelsea offering more money and a ludicrous 9 year contract, plus his agents getting a £10m commission, it’s pretty obvious what his motivation was for choosing Chelsea. They are an utterly chaotic club with a bloated squad, many of whom we will never hear of again. Sadly,this may well include Caicedo himself. He’s had a poor start and his confidence is probably shot. But hey, he will keep getting paid whatever his huge wage is, week in, week out for the next 9 years.

We don't know anything for sure but for rumours that were circulating at the time. However, for Roberto to say "I've forgotten Moises already" in a presser suggests that the rumours were probably correct that he cleared his locker out and refused to train before his move which didn't go down too well with Roberto.

Agreed. Against the narrative on here, I think Poch did a really good job both at Southampton and Spurs. At Spurs he had to suffer virtually no incomings for several windows while all around rivals were spending big. I think he was an idiot to go to PSG because that was a vanity project for the petrogarchs who wanted 'galacticos'. Poch's problem is that Boehly has instigated another vanity project. It might turn out to be genius in five years time and everyone will be dishing out 8 year deals to 20yos but somehow it seems highly unlikely.
Spurs really should have won the league the year Leicester won it. I call him an almost manager just quite can’t get a side over the line when it matters.

I think I heard/read something in an interview somewhere that teams in Italy were wary of buying players from sassuolo when RDZ was in charged because he is so precise in drilling players in to his way of playing that they struggled in other teams even though they look world beaters playing for Sassuolo.
[looking dejectedly at Locatelli] Yeah...

Like I said I heard/read it somewhere. So obviously Manuel Locatelli was a success at Juventus after playing for RDZ at Sassuolo. So was it just made-up nonsense on the internet? Sorry if it is and I am guilty of spreading the nonsense on this forum. I try not to do that.

LOL. Come on man! It was clearly the money. Either for him or his agents or both.

He was the pivot/regista of RDZ's Sassuolo and was known to be very intelligent and technical in his passing and press evasion in that team, with great vision. But when we got him (just as Allegri was re-hired) he didn't have that precise structure in place anymore, the opposite in fact; and when left to his own devices he's just a (somehow) green, hard-working donkey. He's a lovely person and he's been useful last year as a defensive midfielder because of his good team mentality, but he doesn't offer much in terms of passing or creating for the team. And he often plays below-average games, like the latest one.

Thanks for the info.
