[Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

[GT49er]

No, you’re not. I chuckled at the result and hope Chelsea mess up big time, but I feel sad for Caicedo.
Yes, I know he went for the money, but we don’t appreciate the abject poverty he came from, and the emotional blackmail his agents used on him. He will succeed eventually because he’s very talented, but. I wish he’d stayed with us for another season to adjust and experience European football, and learn a bit more about the PL. He’s still naive, imo, and this stinking publicity isn’t going to do him any favours.

The 'abject poverty' was solved in his season and a half at Brighton!

With all former BHA players I want them to do well but their new clubs to struggle. Reinforces our 'finding of them' system and that we can get the best out of them.

That's my thinking too, well put
"...and that we can get the best out of them."

And get them (and their agent) a very lucrative new deal from a big buying club.

Just listening to the Totally Football pod and one guy was flabbergasted at the Caicedo fee, seeing him as a run-of-the-mill midfielder who he'd never seen run a game

I do not believe that is a genuine image. Someone has taken the NorthStandChat tweet and edited it to make it look like it came from the official club feed:




(Unless one of the other OfficialBHAFC social media accounts just stole the tweet, but there is a suspicious looking shadow/line near the top of the image that you sometimes get when badly editing an image)

That guy was an idiot.

Benji Lanyado - big West Ham fan and usually quite sensible but he talked absolute shit yesterday - made me want to shout at the speaker to put him right!

He said he'd watched Caicedo a few times but never seen him dominate a game and that the Rice price was justifiable but Caicedo was massively overpriced. Now he would definitely have watched our game with West Ham at the end of the 2021/2022 season and both games between Brighton and West Ham last season so either he has an incredibly short memory or he was being deliberately obtuse.

They really are! I'm a bit surprised they haven't been reined in a tad... although personally I love it!!!!!!!!!

I had a feeling he was a West Ham fan. Someone should send him a video of Rice's shell-shocked post-match interview.

I was happy to fall for it...

Tbh I feel sorry for him. He was great for us. Hope he bounce back to shut those twitter trolls, and Chelsea to end up bottom half.

I can't wish him personally to do badly, as for Chelsea just miss out on Europe again that will do me

 

[Springal]

It occurred to me earlier - Bridcutt mk 2 ? Most of us were convinced at the time Liam would have a fantastic career. Poyet saying he was good enough for Real Madrid etc.

But really he just looked very good in a fairly limited role / certain system ?

I don't think many here would disagree with this assessment.

Exclusive with Emmanuel Petit: If Chelsea lost to Luton Town there will be earthquakes, Arsenal need a striker like Alexander Isak, Ligue 1 will struggle even more when selling TV rights abroad when if Mbappe leaves - bettingsites.co.uk

In an exclusive interview with BettingSites.co.uk, former Monaco, Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder, Emmanuel Petit spoke about all the latest football news. The World Cup winner has urged Chelsea to win against Luton Town, otherwise, the whole club will be scrutinised due to their...

“Caicedo signed for Chelsea when he was linked with Liverpool, just like Romeo Lavia. I’m not going to say anything stupid but we all know why they went to Chelsea. Sportingly, the best decision right now would be to go to Liverpool. If I am Caicedo or Lavia, I’m going to Liverpool instead of Chelsea because I can’t see a clear plan for what is going on at Chelsea. Thirty-five players? Come on. How many players do they need? It’s going to be a nightmare just like what happened last season.”

“When you look at Liverpool there is one area in particular that needs to be upgraded and that is the midfield area even though they signed new players in Szoboszlai and Mac Allister. If I was Caicedo I would have signed for Liverpool because I would reunite with Mac Allister and I would play with less pressure because so many of their midfield players have left the club. For me the answer is very easy. If you ask somebody why Caicedo and Lavia decided to go to Chelsea, the answer is just money. Money talks for the clubs and for the players.”

He must've forgotten about this...

Extremely funny in parts.
Deserves a much wider audience than lurking here in the boondocks of this decaying Caicedo thread.
