re: Caicedo replacement. - not sure anyone doubts one is either in the pipeline or one is needed. as for whether Albion have been quick enough.
It took us 11 days between Cucurella going to Chelsea and singing Estupinan from Villareal. - his like for like replacement. That turned out alright...
Good spot. Seen this being reported by a couple of blue Ticks on Twitter >> https://twitter.com/saddickadams/status/1552007939900276743?s=21&t=QXkTSNP80vlULgdQxpwC0w
Last summer we signed Lallana, Moder, Welbeck, Karobownik and Veltman. (and White came back from Leeds)
White went straight into the team, and 4 of the other 5 were pretty much first choice or thereabouts by end of season.

Maybe / Maybe not.
But you might as well debate the idea of us going into the season with 1 keeper or er, no left back. Because its just ridiculous and won't be happening.
Well it wouldn’t take a genius to work out ( as with Matt Clarke ) on the back of other people’s reporting that we were interested - it’s almost certainly a Brighton fan - but to get the attention it guesses away that the signings are done, or medicals are underway or talks are advanced. The...

Webster - getting close
Maupay - remains of interest.
Dunk - not linked to Webster. “Focused on new season at Albion”
Hemed, Balogun, Connolly, Clarke - moves/loans - “open to enquiries”...
