I bet you he was promised a move to a bigger club when he was brought to Brighton. As was Bissouma and all the others before him.
Yes, he’s just been asked to give his head a wobble and not to come back until after the window is closed.
Isn't that what they also did with Trossard?
Are we certain it's not us that is not the real buyer, zthey wanted to spunk the money on an attacker like that guy that Chelsea got, so was Trossard the replacement buy for that failure ? Arsenal never showed an interest in Caicedo before right ?
I am fairly confident everyone, including us, does it nowadays. We will not put all of our hope in the Bellingham basket without a clear idea of how much wages he expects, etc.
Mad how quickly it's taken for Arsenal to overtake us and leave us behind already.
That rule is obsolete, unless it is Liverpool talking to Van Dijk
Arsenal do seem pretty light in the middle, esp. with Elneny expected to be out for longer period of time. Building on a position of strength is the right thing to do too. They apparently went for Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi but the player wasn't keen to move during mid-season.
Fuck Caicedo, he is from a nation that hardly have a strong football tradition, anything north of 50M and he go fuck off. We are right to not go for him at the prices quoted given the small data size of games he has played. Yeah he looked good but at Anfield did he stop us scoring 3 goals..no, did he do that great against Leicester ... probably not they drew with them. The game we got beat none of our players turned up. Right now its youth thats going for him. I want a midfielder and ideally he could solve our issues but not for 60M ...fuck of Brighton. Even Man City did not go for their long haired winger last season...let Chelsea have him. Think this one will turn out to be a long term dunce as well.
This might come as a shock to you - but Caciedo doesn’t set his own transfer fee.
Can’t blame Brighton either - if clubs are willing to pay stupid fees for their players.
Can’t really blame FSG either, if they’re not willing to pay stupid fees.
Wages aren’t the problem.
That actually means Jones is overpaid.
FFS Stevie - play the 6CM game man. You can't come in here with sound logic and expect a positive reception.
There have been a few occasions in the past (us and Arsenal - when United went on to win the title) where the clubs, whilst handily leading the league, didn't strengthen in January and were subsequently hit by injuries that cost them the title.
Arsenal are doing the sensible thing to ensure they don't drop off and can get themselves over the line. Winning the PL title will probably enable them to recoup most of any output now in increased marketing fees.

I was referring to the comment above about Arsenal agreeing personal terms with him. I think we can assume that he will readily join top club that meets Brighton's price
It feels like it but I'm hopeful they'll be behind us again next year
They won't be, because they've identified problem areas and are resolving them.
They very well could be. This year they have next to no injuries and will have CL footy next season.
I agree about identifying a problem area but it's also about getting the right sort of player. They also bought Pepé, Lacazette and Aubameyang a few seasons ago as they had identified problem areas.
We have fcuked up royally at the end of last season, at least, and for all the vitriol levelled at the owners, Klopp and his staff for were also too slow to recognise and act on the decline of key players. Going for Caicedo now smacks of the same but more expensive desperation as when we brought Melo. Let’s admit it— this season is pretty much buggered as far as the league is concerned.

I don't know if 70 million is too much - in today's market - but i do know their CM is a serious weakness for them as it's Partey and Xhaka, et ce tous.
Sometimes, overpaying to keep the overall unit purring is a necessity.
Smart move if it comes to fruition.
