Yes, but that's not what defines the fee a club is willing to pay for someone.A good DM will get an applause during a game an attacker gets you out the seat that’s the comparison I’m making. as a fan.

True although one isn’t any good without the other Caicedo joining Chelsea isn’t going to make Jackson look any better than Welbeck which he looked very comparable to yesterdayYes, but that's not what defines the fee a club is willing to pay for someone.
two holding midfielders of that calibre (Cac and Biss) in a De Zerbi team seems a bit of overkill.Going to slightly buck the trend (without actually doing so) and say there wasn't an enormous amount of difference between them. Caicedo however has a much higher ceiling than Biss. Caicedo the slightly better player, but also much younger, with much more opportunity to develop.
A crying shame we saw so little of them together at the Albion. I love Pascal, but imagine where we could've ended up last season with a trio of Caicedo, Bissouma and Mac Allister under RDZ.
Biss was better going forward than I think people remember. Yes a great tackler, but his real skill was his ability to receive the ball in tight spaces, and wriggle out of them in possession. He was great at transitioning from defence to attack and would've thrived under RDZ.two holding midfielders of that calibre (Cac and Biss) in a De Zerbi team seems a bit of overkill.
The issue is the transfer market valuations within the PL and to and from the top European Clubs have become unhinged.Was there really such a big difference between them in ability for such a valuation difference?
Potter did OK for us. Played decent football and upset a few people.The fees are mental for a DM I don’t go to a football match thinking I wonder what our DM can do today. No it’s about the Mitoma’s Ferguson and Pedro’s that bring the excitement and now we have Adingra to add. Those huge fees should be kept for the players that get you off your feet IMO. You appreciate good defensive displays but unless that ball goes in the net football soon gets pretty boring ie three seasons of Potter.
You wait, we'll have Caissouma/Biscedo 2.0 before the end of the transfer windowWe have neither.
Caicedo wasn't playing in most of them..............This. End of conversation. Anyone who thinks Biss is on Caicedo’s level hasn’t watched any Albion games in the last 5 years.
Biss managed 28 PL games in his debut season 5 years ago…!Caicedo wasn't playing in most of them..............
..........neither, for that matter, was Bissouma!
Not played for us recently though - and missed ten or more games every season but one that he was with us.Biss managed 28 PL games in his debut season 5 years ago…!
