[Albion] Moises Caicedo - New contract signed until summer 2027 with 1 year extra option.
- Thread starter Lurchy
- Start date
Some anti Liverpool confirmation bias in action on this thread. Who could possibly have known?

Potter who. IMHO with RDZ we have upgraded, better football and ability to score goals.
We have a new South American in January, who luis suarez thinks can be the next Messi.

Sporting Life have article on their website bigging him up, which isn't going to help.

f*** off
Makes zero difference really - the big clubs aren’t relying on Sporting Life to identify transfer targets.

I think the fawning and hyperbole on here is getting towards TalkSPORT Jim Shite levels.
He's clearly a tremendous talent. But some people on this thread are already declaring him "our greatest ever midfield player" and "potentially the best midfielder IN THE WORLD"
Get a grip, eh chaps x

I'm not sue anyone's answered the question about us signing a midfielder being in addition to what we have or as a replacement so I'll have a go.
We sold Bissouma in the summer, we've got Moder out on a long term injury and Mwepu had to retire due to health reasons. With that in mind I'd assume we're looking for someone to supplement what we already have.
As for his ability, he has plenty with plenty more potential. If he's on a decent length contract you're going to have to pay a lot to get him. If you do come in for him can your fans please, please understand that we don't want to sell him and thus the price is dictated by that, not what your fans would like to pay. It's proven a difficult concept for Leeds, Man City and Chelsea so far.

For me, Bissouma is our greatest ever midfielder. From what I’ve seen of Caicedo, he could be better. Oh, and it’s not just people on this thread who rate him, stories like this in the media (£80m valuation) are not uncommon:
Brighton's Caicedo recalls World Cup inspiration as Qatar could boost £80m fee
<b>WORLD CUP 2022 PREVIEW: ECUADOR - </b>Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo is getting attention from the likes of Liverpool but his memories of previous tournaments are less glamorous
www.mirror.co.uk
Without reading the whole thread, Mwepu's untimely retirement and Moder's ongoing injury mean there isn't a cat in hell's chance of Caicedo going to Liverpool, Chelsea or anywhere else in January.
Obviously more of a chance in the summer window but only for a huge fee and only if we recruit to replace.

This is spot on. The guy coming in is not similar BYW- more of an ACM than our beloved Moises

Wasn’t that Tevez who said that about the new lad? I thought RDZ made a blunder sub against Villa by not replacing Lallana with Gilmore and shuffling the midfield pack. Early days though.

You could be right about Tevez. Areed with the villa part.

So is some patronising bellend allowed to start a thread on here every time one of the moneybags 6 (7 if you include Newcastle) allowed to come in here for the lowdown because some whopper on Twitter said he’s leaving us for them?
F*ck ‘em.

Patronising bellends? No. Supporters of other clubs wanting to have a chat - what's your problem? I go on other teams forums to politely ask their opinions on how our loanees are doing, and I don't get bellends calling me out.
Might happen if I went on to shite forums full of morons like Waccoe, Holmsdale.net or the Shed End - but NSC is generally not like that, thank f***; and I hope it doesn't ever sink to their level.

I have no problem with supporters of other teams posting on here, which is why I’ve never complained about other teams fans posting on here. I have no problem with your or any of our other fans going and keeping tabs on our loan players. I post frequently on a multi-team forum, so it would be hypocritical of me to be against that.
But that’s not what this thread is, is it? It’s a Liverpool fan who has read a Twitter rumour that they’re signing Caicedo and has decided “well that’s it, he’s basically ours then. Better go get the lowdown.” It’s the exact kind of weird arrogance I’d expect from a Top 6 club plastic. It’s the slightly more sophisticated version of some 14 year old on Twitter posting “why would he stay at a small club like Brighton when he could come to us
”He hasn’t signed for them. They haven’t even officially made a bid for him. They might never bid for him, and this dweeb is here plugging us for information so he can look like he’s some football oracle to his equally dweeby mates when Caicedo inevitably signs for them.
If we were very loosely linked to a Championship player and it turned out one of our fans had signed up to the Blackburn Rovers forum to ask them for details I’d think they’re a bellend too.

I personally don't. The OP has asked a question in a reasonable tone and warrants an answer as such.I have no problem with supporters of other teams posting on here, which is why I’ve never complained about other teams fans posting on here.

NSC is good at that and it's rather ugly seeing coarse responses.
My view on Moises ? I think he is a quality player who still has a lot to learn. His future value to us in contract terms could be huge. At present I would say it is much lower than folk suggest. But I doubt Albion are looking to agree to any move. Certainly not in January.

I actually miss the days when our message board was regularly posted on by fans of Reading, Cardiff, Stoke and Brizzle as we battled promotion from the lower leagues. And Orient, although they never deigned to challenge us for promotion.I have no problem with supporters of other teams posting on here, which is why I’ve never complained about other teams fans posting on here.

In the premier league the fans of other teams are conspicuous by their absence, even Palace don't seem to bother much these days. I kind of miss it.
As for this thread, my take home is that we're after another Ecuador midfielder. I didn't know that, so a valuable contribution I reckon. (secondary take home, this guy wants Caicedo and he won't get him, which makes me happy.)
[Oh, tertiary take-home, another Brighton fan thinks he'll cost as much as Bellingham. Now thats a stretch!]
