Reminds me of Torres being flown in, signed and then had a terrible debut against Liverpool, the weight of expectation, no cohesion etc. Torres' problem in his debut and beyond was simply the fact he was a rubbish footballer.

Pizy 18,996 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The Tyler Adams move still has me confused. The long term starting pairing will *crosses fingers* be Enzo + Caicedo. Then we have THREE quality teenagers in Andrey, Casadei, and now Ugochukwu who play in CM/DM. It’s already going to be an issue finding space for all these guys. So adding Adams who is still just 24 makes things even more of a headache in the long term. For this season specifically where we can use his PL experience it makes sense, I suppose. But what happens if Casadei and Ugo have extremely impressive loans and Andrey really impresses while staying here? We’ll have loads of midfielders then who all are good enough to be playing regularly and not enough minutes to go around.

My point is that it didn't help. If this is truly all over being £5-10m apart then Moises should hand a transfer request in and forego any signing fees, right? Not turning this on it's head but I'm saying if he's that desperate to leave, why wouldn't his agent advise that? Ah right, because that same agent who brokered the extension, would get less money.. Of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy 5 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I seen Caicedo play, his nowhere near worth that kind of value, we again being taken for a ride and also again by the same club. xPetrCechx and cfccrost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,565 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Only Keeper and CF where we will potentially pay big in the near future(although may not need too if our young grow good there) Sure Caicedo is overpriced,we could have got another good DM/CM plus another good player at another position for his likely cost but overall i'd say we are ahead due to players we've got as bargains in the current market,our investment in young players and players coming through our youth system far outweighs paying 30m or so over the odds for Caicedo. And we still likely to buy 1-3 others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A host of PL players have gone for much more than they're actually worth over the past few seasons. Rice's move to Arsenal set the precedent this summer.

The market is inflating and with Saudi coming in its only going to be worse. 100m for someone like Caicedo will be considered cheap in 5 years.

It's still hard to swallow for those that have been following the league for an age (me included), but we have to get with the times or be left behind.

Thats why I actually support the club buying so many youngsters at a relatively low prize. Even if they dont turn out as the real deal, u can still sell them with a profit, bc the overall market will inflate over the next few years and if they turn out great u saved a lot of money and u dont have to deal with clubs like Brighton or Inter who love to squeeze u for every pound possible and let u wait till deadline day. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
