[Albion] Is keeping Caicedo more important than making signings?

[Icy Gull]

Never say never but it looks like we won’t be signing any PL ready players this window. Assuming Chelsea don’t come in with a 100 million bid, is just keeping Moises a satisfactory window for you?

 

[The Wizard]

He’s our most important player, so yes.

I’d take keeping Caicedo till the summer and making moves then, ideal scenario, if he is going to leave.

 

[Seagull27]

Other - keep him, but also another signing or two would be ideal.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

It is, obviously, as he's one of the best players in that position in the game at the moment, but I would like to see 1 more 1st team ready player, but that might be greedy.

 

[Kosh]

I’d caveat any ‘yes, yes’ vote with IF he’s back as he was and not if he starts to feign injury and/or can’t be arsed/loses form with any loss of his Albion related mojo/motivation - as doubtless his new club come the summer (ahem) will have ensured (he’s aware) that he’s very much likely to sign a HUGE contract…

If however, none of that has a detrimental impact on his game - well, yes it’s a great thing he’s (hopefully) staying.

 

[junior]

Yes, of course. We know what we are getting with him, and with him we have a great chance of qualifying for UEFA Cup or Intertoto or whatever.



If he went and we signed a replacement, there are no guarantees that replacement would give us the same output and/or hit the ground running.

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Aren’t we possibly going for that French striker?

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Up to a point.

Just trusting that the various strands at AMEX House are in accord - and no reason to believe they aren't.

By that, I mean that RDZ was not desperate for signings, although he has often said he is happy with what he has got, and is now striding around the corridors fuming and kicking everything in sight! He is I think a realist and would not want to do a Chelsea!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Keeping Swanny is more important than keeping Caicedo for us as a club imho. Maybe Bozza could follow TB’s lead on Caicedo and shut NSC down until after the transfer window closes, it would save all the clucking hens on here a lot of typing.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Yes, end of thread

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

IMHO it’s no longer about MC or any other player. It’s the club basically telling the top 6 and player agents that we dictate the terms and not them. If we sell its on our terms, if we buy it’s on our terms, nothing more or nothing less.
TB must be loving the drama whilst pulling the strings of all and sundry. I certainly am.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Ask me when I know how badly hurt Evan is.

If he's bad, then we need a replacement.

Keeping Moises was vital - that's a given - but I have been chilled about him not leaving for some time - Bloom said he's not leaving and I trust him 100%

 

[Justice]

Personally I would be more worried if it was Mitoma, a defensive midfielder can be replaced Mitoma is once in a blue moon type player.

 

[The Fits]

Unquestionably IF he plays properly.

 

[Farehamseagull]

That along with Ferguson not being seriously injured, yes.

 

[Icy Gull]

Personally I would be more worried if it was Mitoma, a defensive midfielder can be replaced Mitoma is once in a blue moon type player.

How gutting would a late Chelsea swoop for him be!

 

[scooter1]

Yes, and i'd look to potentially offer him a new contract.
If his reported(albeit rumoured) wages are correct or even ball-park, then i'd improve the terms and length. Show him that he is valued, and show the fans that the club are ambitious and not just a portal

Can you imagine the fee though £120m plus proven to rip PL defences apart. You aren’t buying a maybe he will adapt to the PL.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Ask me when I know how badly hurt Evan is.

Given that won't be today then not a lot of point asking you.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Rather dodgy poll because the answers are not binary to a binary question. The second answer seems to answer the question: "Is keeping MC enough?"
