All very true I suppose, but I have to say I'm enjoying Caicedo being shite much more than Mac Alister being good

You tell me :) I'm fine with the guy, but I read this brighton fans website called NSC and trust me, he's hated on there!

Kind. Of. My. Point. 👍

Yeah, what I've been saying for a while now. Cry on the pitch, you're golden 😆

Hey, people can think what they want to think about these guys, but your general point holds true, that this is on many ways a hatred of Chelsea that is being projected onto these players. It's the false comparisons with MacAllister that bug me, we had to give in to his agents, yet its...

Why are we all so anti release clauses in player contracts then? It allows the player to leave with class and dignity, and everyone's happy? If we had a put a release clause in Caicedo's contract we could all be sitting here now saying how we loved the guy, how he always gave 100%, blah blah...

Yes, but I never blame the player in these situations, its all just circumstances, there but for the grace of god and all that. If Chelsea offered the full fee at the start of the transfer window it would have been like the Ben White transfer, if he had a release clause it would have been like...

Yeah? Mac Allister is older, more experienced, regular for the world champions, shorter contract, cheaper fee - I would be surprised if he was on less :shrug:

That is all true. However I would also wager that Mac Allister is earning more than Caicedo, so possibly unfair to throw the 'went for the cash' thing at him. Unfortunately he got lumbered with a shite manager.

I'm sorry but what? In hindsight I think that whole public auction thing for Caicedo was pretty shoddy, I can't remember anything comparable. Treating players like commodities for people to haggle over is very unedifying, and they shouldn't be sold to a club against their will. He preferred...

But regardless, why do you hate him for that? Him turning down Liverpool added several million onto our fee, that's a good thing right?

We didn't have any choice about Mac Allister going because he had made sure there was a release clause in his contract. So blessing or no blessing he was off.

Probably from Brighton too considering the sums involved.... End of the day it's agents and clubs and rich people haggling over where a young naive footballer plys his trade. The whole thing is unsavoury. But if Caicedo had the release clause in his contract and Mac Allister didn't, maybe it...

They really didn't. It's very much in people's minds that they did but aside from the musings of Fab Romano and the like what other noise was there about the Caicedo transfer? All we know is that he'd made agreement with Chelsea and waited for Brighton to accept an offer from Chelsea, which is...

And you're clearly not alone. I do find it a bit strange considering both players were great for us, both clearly wanted to leave this summer, yet one is treated well and the other appalling. Why? Just get these nebulous answers like 'mac allister left in the right way, which is such a load...

Oh his role is different there, he's left quite isolated so he's expected to be more of a disruptor, breaking up opposition play, winning the ball and then giving it to someone to play a more direct ball forward. At Brighton he was part of a whole team playing close knit possession football...
