Less. Debut (ironically) at Arsenal. He has actually only been in team for 8 games last season and 18 this. TBH, the madness is placing a ridiculous value on a player with this amount of experience.

So he's not even handing in a transfer request now.
Just announcing he's leaving.
Christ that's f***ing awful.

how to go from hero to zero in 24 hours, ungrateful sod!
I was reading that Anthony Gordon at Everton, who the BBC describe as a forward, has scored 7 goals in around two hundred games. That’s around six and half million pounds per goal that the Sportswashers are about to pay for him! Football money has been obscene for a long time, it seems it is getting to even more ridiculous levels every day.

The worrying thing is that our improvement has precisely coincided with his inclusion in the team.
That is no coincidence.
He goes and that is the end of our season.
God I hate this league.

I've waited sixty years to watch a Brighton team play at the stratospheric level of recent games. It is heart breaking to see the greed of agents, young players and entitled clubs threaten to tear it apart. Surely Caicedo can see how close he is to achieving something special with the Albion. The knock on effect on other players can only be imagined. And why would RDZ want to stay?
Now is the time for TB to play the hand of his life.

Let's be real
For caciedo, something special, is winning the league and the champions League not finishing 5th and qualifying for the Europa League!!
Let's be real, a calendar year ago he'd just got back from Beerschot stinking out the Jupiler League. It then took Potter nearly three months to give him a regular start.
The lad is on "something special" compared to the whole rest of his life. A shame he can't show the humility to go with it (though I expect his agent may well have taken control of social media last night - Moises still seems a quiet and religious sort).

Even as a young boy from South America he will realise what a huge achievement this would be for Brighton. I'd like to think he has something of the football romantic in him, but I'm probably being naive. He has the rest of his career to win the major trophies; realistically we are only asking for four months.
He needs a head wobble if it wasn't his agent posting last night.
Agents need shooting. Then banning From the game completely.
THe club have done so much for him, to shit on us from a great height mid season is unforgivable.
Jan window need eliminating really, the competition is a season, assemble a squad and play it In its entirety, then tinker.
It seems now clubs are just using dirty money to buy their way up the table, not only by improving their own team/squad, but by shredding everyone elses. THat's not football and its not sport. Wood to Saudi last seasonis a good example. London clubs see us as a threat now so are doing their best to eliminate it off pitch.
A quote from Gordon Cruickshank who's written a book called 'driven to crime' about motorsport . . . In the intro is a quote from George Orwell. 'Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in violence.
That applies to the PL pretty well.

I expect a verbal statement from the club today or tomorrow. Probably from Paul Barber, we won’t send out our manager to communicate this in the same cowardly way a Big Six does.
In essence, Paul will summarise the values of the club and Chairman, he’ll then lament the power of agents and the fact that FFP is not ‘levelling up’ the playing field at all. Finally, he’ll declare that Moises is not for sale in this window and that Tony Bloom does not care what offer he now receives, because it’s gone beyond that.
The betting for Caicedo to stay at Brighton has gone from 11/2 last night to 7/2 and will continue to drop.
Like the public sacking of Gus Poyet on Match of the Day, the football world is just about to find out that you don’t cross Tony. Caicedo goes on our terms, not the terms of some ****ing Big Six trying to low ball us or two scummy Spanish agents who have two decent players out of half a dozen mostly league 2 players.
We won’t be selling players to Arsenal anymore for a long, long time.

If he refuses to train/play, I would hope the club acts accordingly - fine him and take him out of the first-team squad. Definitely do not sell him until the summer whatever the offer. He can sit on his sofa for six months for all I care. He's 21 years old FFS - why does he need to force a move now?
Yes, I understand about protecting the value of your assets but the club has to react.

To me this has been nailed on since I opened my official 2023 calendar and saw Mr January was Moises Caicedo. There is no finer predicter of squad departures/serious injuries.

Unfortunately we have to face it
a) Most players are mercenaries, they don't support Brighton
b) Most players aren't the sharpest tool in the box as get manipulated by agents
Onwards.....
