I don’t disagree but I guess football has an element of short-term thinking in that they could get a career ending injury, or that he feels he needs to play Champions League as the next step (who knows, maybe at. Brighton??)

I don’t think fans have all the information to judge what is best for the player tbh - only he can decide that as an individual.

We dislike his agents and think they are leading him wrong but in the end he stayed and got a big payrise out of it, so maybe they do know what they are doing for him after all?

Imho he would’ve got a new contract and pay rise, at anytime he wanted, as the club gain more possibly with the new contract length. The quality and integrity of agents will vary. The jury’s still out on the pair.

In January a nsc’er kept telling us that Caicedo’s just one tackle away from a career ending injury, that it was immoral to make him a prisoner and deny him a title at Arse. Some barely veiled affection for Arse ;)? The days of those injuries are thankfully few and far between now, sports science has progressed.

He’s only 21, 3 years younger than Rice and Mac Allister, the world is his if he keeps on working hard. With our other Ecuadorians, Caicedo is with friends here for a year or two more.

Agree with all of that except the jury being out on his agents. They are clueless wankers.

The problem with having a pool of clients of …. just one (if you disregard the unknowns) … meant that they wanted their first big pay day and now. Edu played them like a violin.

But not one of them banked on Tony Bloom doing a levy.

Not sure he has, it’s just bumped the price up. To Chelsea, United, Liverpool, maybe a European giant another 20 million won’t scupper the deal imo. Moises earns much better money for 3 months, the agent pockets his percentage of the higher fee and Albion hold the whip hand on a transfer they won’t block if their price is met.

He’s gone this summer imo

It seems a VERY long contract extension if it's purely to bump the price up £20m and give him a short term wage boost.

In the case of the most frequently linked English suitor, Arsenal supposedly would like Rice and Caicedo too. Rice is being widely touted as an £80m player, which doesn't seem unreasonable. He's closer to his prime, has almost 200 PL games under his belt, European experience and is a lynchpin of a national team that's among the best in the world right now.

There's not much to suggest Albion would settle for much less than £80m for Caicedo so, at this point, he just doesn't look good value at that price compared to Rice or players that might be available from abroad. I think It's difficult to see how the figures stack up for an immediate move at the price Albion can now demand. Months of speculation is the only thing that's guaranteed, I imagine.

Well Tony turned down a £70m bid for him with the contract situation as it was before.

Now if someone wants him sure as eggs are eggs they are going to have to go north of that figure now.

Exactly. Which, for any rational purchaser, does make him over-priced currently, even though he's excellent with boundless potential. There are some irrational purchasers we should probably worry about though.

It is unreasonable. I’m with Simon Jordan on this. Rice is overrated and will prove it to us tomorrow.



I believe that Caicedo is the next level from to Rice.

I think Rice will move for £100m to £120m. Boehly’s altered the landscape, Manure may about to be bought by a petro dollars state (allegedly a fund thereof) and in a year’s time CL money increases by 47%. Add the homegrown player premium.

Excellent. I'm sort of resigned to World Cup winner Mac moving on in the summer - hopefully to a decent club like Liverpool or one of the Mancs rather than London rubbish - but Moises is three years younger - he's got time on his side, and can afford to stay with us for one more season before joining the £5M+ a year multi-millionaires' club.

I never saw this coming. Even if he is sold in the summer its so refreshing hearing news like this. Well done to BHA and to Moises. I'm sure this will also please RDZ. All bodes well for the future.

A few points:

Caicedo may have taken a stand himself. You can tell your agent to do one. I have.

We (long-suffering) Brighton fans struggle with this, but we might just be THE most exciting (non-behemoth) club in world football right now. If RDZ can work his alchemy then this squad can really start to throw some punches. Caicedo may just have looked around the changing room and thought, “f*** this” I like it here, I like my teammates and we’re REALLY good with the potential to be very special.

Despite what the TWATTERATI say, Caicedo was not being paid in bowls of Plantains. He’s now got a contract for another 4 years on a very big uptick with loads of performance related kickers. His family/village are set for life. Ecuador is not a wealthy society.

The club showed how unrelenting they can be this winter in rejecting advances that are not right for the Albion. His advisers will have absolutely taken this into consideration when proposing this new contract to their 21-year-old, still developing client.

Two fabulous world class seasons at the Amex could see the bloke leave for the biggest state-owned clubs in the world and he’d still only be 23!! Or, he might even stay to help Brighton in their Champions League campaign👍
