Manu Koné? Mac Callister? Matheus Nunes? Roméo Lavia? after those 4 I am starting to have trouble Artandur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Must be said, would be a very smart but non-Arsenal like move if they get Caicedo. It’s the kind of future thinking big move that we did with Nkunku. They want to get ahead of the competition now even though they don’t necessarily need him this season. Arse supporters have named Xhaka and Partey as their 2 best players this season so Caicedo doesn’t even go straight into their XI. But surely Xhaka will come back down to earth at some point. He’s in the form of his life after being bang average and booed off the pitch by his own fans not too long ago. So having Caicedo waiting in the wings is smart.

Mhsc 1,098 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 If Caicedo to Arsenal becomes even close to looking likely I bet we would swoop in again. Funny they've started going after all of our targets though, after we started doing it to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,143 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The club will be just sitting and watching all this and if Enzo is off and they will know that it's release clause or nothing then I fully expect us to go steaming in for MC this weekend and match the Brighton asking price. No way Todd is sitting around to allow Arsenal to trump us, unless we have bigger fish to fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Really don’t think Caicedo is worth getting into a heated bidding war for. Solid player but nothing rare or special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 For £75-80m we could probably finally take Rice this coming summer who I feel is slightly superior to Caicedo. Just silly, ridiculous money for him. We should learn our lesson after giving Brighton £62m for Cucu (who I still think will be a good signing). Saw someone elsewhere mention Bissouma when he was at Brighton which I had forgotten about. He looked pretty awesome under Potter, was highly sought after by most of the Big 6, got his big move to Spuds and has been anonymous. That should be a red flag. If Caicedo was available for £40m I’d jump at that price. But £75m+ should get you a nailed on game changer in my mind. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
