Yesterday I thought his positional sense was exceptional. Always in space, taking up great offensive positions and facing the correct way to drive forward. Since he has come in , we can afford to not have Biss and yet look as, maybe more, offensive and dangerous. For a 20 year old, it's like watching a young Messi only with more tackling bite.

£100m anyone?


Fantastique!

Not Messi but Kante for me. Still a very high bar!

He is already a very good player , potentially world class and if sold ( hopefully not ) in a couple of years is likely to be BHA most expensive asset , I would expect him to be worth £65-70 M if he keeps improving . Sounds optimistic but he has such talent and is a fast learner with a great temperament.

Bissouma and Declan Rice on the pitch, but Caicedo stood out.

Indeed.

Bissouma was well off the pace (suffering after his sickness bug / emotionally out of the door?) by his incredible standards. Got caught on the ball three times, in a manner more reminiscent of latter-day Dale Stephens, than the Biss.

Rice was not good at all. Did his defensive work reasonably, but on the ball he was pony. On that showing, he is incapable of controlling the weight he puts on a pass - almost everything over-hit.

Caicedo AND MacAllister, were very good in comparison.

Similar comments used to be made about Rohan Ince. Let’s control our excitement!

That comparison is hilarious. Caicedo's a real footballer who has been playing International football for years. He's come into a Brighton team losing every game and suddenly we're winning, scoring goals and controlling the play. He is a very large part of why our form has turned around. The team has been very settled in the last few matches, which is also a reason. Alexis Mac getting a regular run of games has helped too.

These remarks are both pony, and not good at all.

I mean, Rice didn't have that great a game did he? I can't think of one decent chance he created in the whole 90 minutes either...

He's unquestionably a great player, but he didn't have a good day at the office

I didn't say he had a great game, but I agree with you that he's a great -- veering on world class -- player. Sofascore have him as the third best player on the pitch with a score of 7.6 (behind Welbeck 7.8, and Gross 8.5). 94.3% passing accuracy from 70 passes.10 long balls -- all accurate.

You can trust sofascore if you like. I'll trust my eyes.

I think Declan Rice was by far their best player yesterday and the main reason West Ham controlled the game for the last 30 minutes of the first half. Always available for a pass and confidently dictating the pace of the game.

To be fair, I don't think the that Man U recruitment team can be called lazy or unproffesional for failure to get this one over the line. From what I have read, the signing was full of complications - the sort that a club with deep pockets like Man U probably just don't want or need - and our recruitment team did an outstanding job getting it sorted, much of which was down to previous experience with the Billy Arce deal. We were arguably the only British club that had the know how in this respect, so huge credit to our guys,

I’ve noticed that having terminated Arce’s contract, he promptly signed for Caicedo’s old club, Independiente del Valle. Perhaps a bit of payback from us there (he has a goal and assist for them already).

We signed Arce from them anyway, he’s a product of their youth system.

Interesting that Caciedo mentions Lallana first as the player who’s helped him

What a delightful young man. To be honest I wish the season was starting this weekend. Cannot wait to see what the new young talent and wise-old heads are going to deliver this season.
