Don’t see why not. He’s not injured and with Mac missing we need him.

Yes, the fans will get behind him. One of our best ever players. What was the advice given by the agent (including source) ?
I keep seeing various pundits trot out the "well look at what happened to Southampton" line as if they expect us to sell everything and not replace any players.
I didn't follow Southampton's comings and goings particularly closely at the time, but were they the sort of club to roll over every time Liverpool came knocking or did they play hard ball?

It wasn't just Liverpool. Arsenal raided them as well.
Southampton's problem wasn't selling players, it was several changes of ownership.
Sadly, even if we appear to 'rinse' them, Caicedo is SO good that even £100m will eventually see Arsenal getting the better deal (i.e. they could easily get 10 years of trophies from him)
Desperately hoping he goes to Europe this summer!

Unfortunately for them I think they probably did although he has lost a bit of the old magic.

While you're right, remember that many of our recent departures have been replaced with an upgrade. Trossard - Mitoma. Potter - RDZ. Burn - Cucurella. Cucurella - Estupinan.
It won't be at all easy to upgrade on Caicedo of course. But I took note of what one Sweden-based journo said about Ayari - he's a midfield metronome and dominates the midfield. At age 19. Watch this space.

IF there's another whip round for giant flag, its got to be Bloom related and completed for Arsenal away.

African plastics are setting their sights on Rice AND Caicedo (probably Kane as well by May).

How Brighton will react to any Arsenal bid for Moises Caicedo in the summer
Arsenal saw two bids rejected for the midfielder.
metro.co.uk
Reading between lines, it seems Chelsea made a first bid of 55M (fair enough), were told in no uncertain terms by Bloom, this isnt a negotiating tactic, hes not for sale in this window under any circumstance so dont try another bid, and they didnt.
Arsenal then made a bid of 60M (fair enough), were told in no uncertain terms by Bloom, this isnt a negotiating tactic, hes not for sale in this window under any circumstance so dont try another bid, so they then conspired with Caicedos new Agents, no doubt for a fat agents fee, and ignored Bloom, went back in again and at the same time got Caicedo/agents to try the 'refuse to play' tactics, forced move with pleas on social media campaign and using Fabrizi Romano (no doubt led by Arsenal in full cahoots with the new Agents).
Dirty underhand and shabby from Arsenal, pains to say it, but Chelseas conduct in this saga is clearly better, and I'd suggest their respect of Blooms wishes makes them clear favourite come the summer or beyond........
Edu and Agents are Idiots for thinking they could pressure Bloom by such underhand methods. There will only ever be one winner.

I don’t think there is any evidence that Arsenal were orchestrating Caicedo’s actions. If there were then Bloom would report them to the PL. Isn’t this all just idle speculation by fans eager to exonerate the player. First blame the agent, now blame Arsenal.Metro reporting similar to what Naylor suggests.

Confirms my thoughts that he’s largely a pawn in a game played out by his agents and Arsenal which fell through
