Caciedo is a big gamble. As we know already, all Brighton players look good there because of the system they play. Cucurella and Bissouma were giants there but havent actually set Chels and Spurs alight. Porter was great there but couldnt handle coaching Chelsea. It will be interesting to see how Caciedo fairs in a new bigger club with all the pressure on top of it.
Seeing that he would rather stay here and be paid £3m less shows that it’s really not about the money but a matter of principle. Another Saudi Club may be interested or Roma so let’s wait and see what happens. He may want to stay in Europe, be paid less but play competitive football here not necessarily with Chelsea! It’s not about the money for some people.
Good on him! Would you or any human being accept reduced wages? Im glad he has a lot of self respect and knows his worth. A champions league winner and semi-finalist player in the world cup should never accept anything this.
I wouldn’t call players like Havertz, Kante, Mount, Kova, Mendy, RLC and KK as deadwood. Bar KK these are top notch players who have won us trophies in the past. If they are so bad, how come most of them are waltzing into top European teams.
He won three of the most prestigious titles in football, Champions League, Afcon and Super Cup. He’s now gone to make a fortune for himself and family. Wishing him the best. Goodbye Mendy. Always a blue.
