Given that one of Ecuador's most famous ever players played at United when he was growing up it's not unreasonable to think that it was once a dreamDreamed of playing for man United

the point I was making is we can’t afford him/don’t want him. Probably the former.
Enzo isn't on 300k a week. Where you hear that? It's been reported to be between 150k-200k.
The 'big club! history!' circlejerk kinda annoys me at times
What you're achieving now is far more important than what you were getting up to 50 years ago
True. I wasn't attracted to United because of what we did 50-70 years ago. And if we continue like this for the next 10 years, we'd be like AC Milan, that not many outside Italy care much anymore.
Yep most live in Cobham, Oxshott or Weybridge - beautiful areas if you’ve got the cash…
I don't though I know 2 of those 3 areas from my long gone college days
Can someone explain what acutally happend in the summer of '21?
We were so into signing him, it looked like a sure thing. And then we still look liked signing him. And then kinda looked like signing him. And the Brighton signed him.
It was for peanuts (€5 mil ?) so I don't get why we backed out? Or was the fact that he dreamt of playing for us overplayed and he actually preferred Brighton?

Something along the lines of third party agents involved. Club decided to steer clear.
World class service station
United board and Woodward were just being their usual clueless selves.
Boils down to incompetence. Where’s there’s a Will there’s away as Brighton proved
No, no, you can’t use that as a benchmark. This fee from two years ago for a player Madrid want to now sell somehow is.
Edit pretty sure that fee was 100m euros so well done Ben .
It was 80m EUR guaranteed, which is £68m as he says
But add ons are always easy to achieve and since Madrid have won it all since he moved them the fee is 100m?
The only reason guarantee was relatively low is because the overall package was so high. Chelsea would need to double if not treble the plus 10
Also the deal wasn't between 2 clubs in same league, I hope Chelsea stick to their valuation, Brighton will reject it all the time.
He can always hand in a transfer request to help this along
Clearly Brighton are going to stand their ground for as long as they can after seeing Arsenal cough up £105M for Rice.
I do wonder though, I have seen some Brighton fans suggest Bloom will give Chelsea a certain period to meet their valuation until he shuts down the talks because it's too close to the start of the new season. Preseason is already underway. So we'll see.
Tchouameni moved to Madrid last season.
Even worse!
Rice going for 105 has set the bar (all be it a ridiculous bar) which will make any move for Caicedo an expensive one...I can't see Brighton accepting anything near 70 mill, it just feels to low a fee for this summer.
Brighton are jetting off on their US tour in the next 2-3 days. We're actually playing each other in Philly on Saturday. Whether Caicedo is on that plane with them could perhaps tell us a lot about how close this deal is?
he will be sold as he was told he can leave at the end of the season for a fair fee.
Think Chelsea will get their man for prices the media is stating.
would love it if Arsenal can get him if we sell partey to Saudi, but that’s not gonna happen.
Caicedo expected to be with the Brighton squad, but no training interviews shown.
I actually think this will get done this week and I think the fee will end being somewhere between £85-95M.
BHA will then need two defensive or/& box to box first team midfielders. Who, where and how much? Deduct £20m from transfer fee to pass on to previous clubs. Not a good deal for Brighton to sell for at least 3 years.
Whose been the most successful player out of Brighton so far?
They can have Scot McT for £30million.
No idea, but they've known since January that Caicedo would be leaving this summer.
Can't believe this, the season just gone feels like it went on for years. Ronaldo was still our player this time last year! Feels so strange.
Ben White and Dan Burn
Trossard aswell
Needs to carry form into next season first
Yes, the Caf has taught me that history in the 20th century is what matters when determining whether a club is big or not
If the final fee is around 80m and by that time if we manage to sell Partey and Balogun. I can see Edu throwing his hat in there. 80m for Caicedo is a much better deal than 45/50m for Lavia.
How do Chelsea line up in midfield if they get Caicedo? @WeePat
Who knows there are still weeks left they might have all new players in before the end of the window.
Enzo x Caicedo
