Agree, but Caicedo was with us over a year before he made his first team debut. We need someone who can go straight into the first team.

He's an attacking midfielder

Poor watford? They'll be four managers into the season before they realise they have no players!
It's the way of the world: Shakespeare knew
Master, I marvel how the fishes live in the sea.
First Fisherman. Why, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones; I can compare our rich misers to nothing so fitly as to a whale; a’ plays and tumbles, driving the poor fry before him, and at last devours them all at a mouthful. Such whales have I heard on o’ the land, who never leave gaping till they’ve swallowed the whole parish, church, steeple, bells, and all.
Moises Caicedo last year (league only) 37 apps, 1 goal, 1 assist.
He’s our best player
Why do people continue to define players by statistics. Goals and assists are not relevant for defensive midfielders. Watch football with your eyes not with statistics.

Asprilla is an attacking midfielder though, so attacking output is the first thing that's looked at.

He's been playing AM, AMR I believe.
He does have decent defensive stats but my understanding is he has mostly played 8/10, 7 and 11.
Left footed.
If anything he's back up to Solly.

I expect Watford are under some financial strain and need to off load players.
This lad looks like he has physical attributes that could help us. Quick, strong, young. Let’s remember we moulded Moises into a defensive midfielder. That’s where I expect this lad may end up playing.

Maybe you know better than Tony Bloom and our approach and could therefore advise him that he's doing it all wrong and shouldn't look at statistics? Statistics are useful, they give credibility to the 'things we see with our eyes' and a form of measuring them. Caicedo had fantastic statistics last year, just not in goalscoring and assists.

Moises was always a defensive midfielder.
Exactly and the post I’m replying to was judging him off goals and assists and nothing else.
Using assists isn’t that helpful. Kevin de Bruyne wouldn’t have many if the chances were being presented to Jurgen Locadia.

In the position he was playing that’s the go to stats to look at. He’s underperforming in his xg and xa also.
Another season in the Championship is the best thing for his career development that was being highlighted in my original post (similar to Sarmiento going to West Brom on loan).
He featured in most games for Watford last season but mainly as an impact player off the bench. He should get more game time now that Pedro has moved on.
