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

Moises Caicedo?
That guy is a bit of a tool, another plastic Mancunian.
But the Man Utd fans are really pissed off about not sealing this deal which is kind of fun!
This player does seem to be very highly rated by lots of people (from other clubs). What is this based on though? He’s not in a competitive league. Ok he scored a goal for Equador... Tim Vickery seems to be the best source, but he also rated MacAllister highly.

Yes. But his inclination and strength is to move forward not to stay deep.
Not saying he can’t do it but playing full time DM requires a particular discipline.

If he is a box to box midfielder he will not need to stay deep, he should be getting forward. Him and Biss could be immense, it might not work out that way but I'm willing to give it a try. [emoji3]
4 World Cup qualifiers against good South American teams as a DM or LW (once).
He returned one goal and three assists.

Your first paragraph infers that we have already signed this guy. What is your source?

This guy mentions that United might be giving Pogba a new contract and then goes on a confused rant about why theyre not signing Caicedo. Wasnt he a potential Pogba replacement, and so that's why?

Metro seems to give the rumour credence:

Tim Vickery knows what he is talking about too!

Tim Vickery had his reservations about the impact that MacAllister would make in the PL at this stage of his career.
He’s one of the best football journos out there IMO - and his knowledge of LATAM players is immense.

What I like about Tim is that he holds his hands up if he gets one wrong, I’m pretty sure it was Falcao who he didn’t think would do well in Europe.

Give credit to Potter, if the player is good enough then he’s old enough.

Yep, he also didn't think Coutinho (one of his great pronunciations by the way) would be any good in England.
But, Vickery is generally brilliant and his knowledge of South American football is incredible and he doesn't get many wrong. Also a very intelligent and funny bloke. Have you seen his modelling by the way?! Bit of a mod and likes his clothes. Cool guy.
He is genuinely excited about this kid so if this rumour is true, we definitely should be.

If the fee is £5.5m, the Mancs will leave it till the end of the window and offer £2m and a packet of ready salted crisps for him.

Agree completely and it takes a long time to get that completely right, but we haven't done a bad job in teaching Biss that particular discipline.
And he still gets it wrong occasionally, but he's not doing badly at all, is he
