[Albion] Moises Caicedo - New contract signed until summer 2027 with 1 year extra option.

I don't want to detract too much from a good win but bear in mind the Flamengo players were probably suffering in Quito
due to the altitude.

True, I had a headache for two days when I went there

Thats where the Coca tea comes in handy

Me too. Strange feeling going so high in altitude

Ryan making way so Moises can join our squad. Hmmmm.

Hasn't Bernado already done that? TWO incoming?!!

That’s very true, I’ve seen the altitude effect first hand in Bolivia watching River Plate get soundly beaten by a La Paz team. Hi were, Cacideo is meant to be renowned for his mobility and energy levels. I’m assuming the increased levels of oxygen he’ll experience in the UK compared to Ecuador will only increase that Kante quality of being ‘everywhere’ that he is rumoured to possess.

I once played five-a-side in La Paz. One short run and I thought my lungs were on fire. We did beat the locals though!

We've already added 3 players to the squad in the transfer window with the returns of Tau, Moder and Karbownik from loan, Caicedo will be the 4th. With Naylor saying the club were looking to reduce the number of squad players over the window I'd expect a few more to follow Ryan and Bernardo on the way out now.

We've got 22 players that need to be named in the 25 man PL squad, plus 6 who are likely to be first team squad regulars who don't need to be named, Caicedo would make that 7 leaving us with a first team group of 29. I've not included the likes of Jenks, Weir and Khadra who've also been included with the first team squad in the last few weeks. I expect at least a couple of more moves away, probably on loan before the end of the window one might even be a Mooy like unexpected move for someone.

Really?

Did you see the the World Club final with Liverpool vs Flamengo? Liverpool needed an extra time winner to overcome the South Americans who I thought played really well.

Moises and his Independiente del Valle smashed Flamengo 4-0 last year.

Yeah, the top teams e.g Flamengo, Boca, River etc. are all pretty good but in the group stages there are some pretty weak teams. Not that there aren't also in Europa but a lot of the groups could easily be CL groups.

Similar, once played at Lake Titicaka and was destroyed after 2 minutes despite being a relatively fit and healthy 21 year old. We lost to the locals though!

I’ve not played sports at altitude but did lose my ability to walk up a small incline without stopping and gasping for breath. A mouth full of coca leaves and baking powder didn’t help either!

 

[Sompting_Seagull]

Is he here yet....?

Its not a 'Vicente' signing story is it.

Just seen this on BBC sport. Too late for Blackpool then.

I did the lake ok but bit higher on the visit I got altitude sickness and had to have oxygen. Very unpleasant and potentially life threatening.

Don't forget we have sent Molumby out on loan too. Rumours suggest Ali J likely to be going out on loan, and it wouldn't be a huge shock if the Swiss kid and Sanders went out on loan too

 

[severnside gull]

Caicedo going to Union St Gilloise reportedly until the end of the season.
Probably makes sense

I'd completly forgotten that Molumby had joined PNE, certainly agree Zeqiri and Sanders are likely loan moves for experience. Zeqiri has openly admitted how much faster football is here, said he was knackered after the first week of training, a few months in the Championship will help him massively, but leave us short on strikers the way things are going (nothing new there then).

Has this actually been seen anywhere other than a rumour started on twitter by some disgruntled Man Utd fan annoyed that Caicedo isn't joining them?

I saw the loan option mentioned on both Sky and the BBC at the beginning of this saga. Not too sure they would of printed the words of a lone Utd fan.

Been posted multiple times he was leaving Ecuador today...................... he won't be in Madrid until tomorrow afternoon if that's the case

It was first reported in a tweet by Duncan Castles, who's not the most reliable journalist. But he does occaissonly get a scoop.

Not sure where it was tbh. It was deffo MSM, as I don't use twitter or lesser known outlets. Could still be bullshit though! Hopefully we don't loan him, but we are top heavy in midfield.

I guess we'll find out soon!
