Caicedo is world classAs good as Brighton have been, and they have been excellent, not one of there players comes close to peak Mahrez, Vardy and Kante.
Leicester messed up by not having the replacements in house before taking the money, then splurged big fees on lesser replacements.Leicester should have invested in qualifying for Champions League (came 5th in 2020 and 2021) and recruitment rather than continually selling their best players (Kante, Mahrez, Maguire, Chilwell, Fofana). They're paying the price now. Looks like Brighton are taking that route, starting with Cucurella.
Disagree. Not in the same level as Kante. Not even two levels below.Caicedo is world class
They didn’t have the money. They were in debt to a number of companies (they missed a few payments) and had the second highest wage-bill:revenue in the league.Leicester should have invested in qualifying for Champions League (came 5th in 2020 and 2021) and recruitment rather than continually selling their best players (Kante, Mahrez, Maguire, Chilwell, Fofana).

He’s nowhere near that yet. He’s just a decent young player with potential at this point.Caicedo is world class
Easier said then done. The problem is the players have ambitions and want to win trophies and earn ridiculous wages that clubs are willing to pay for them.Leicester should have invested in qualifying for Champions League (came 5th in 2020 and 2021) and recruitment rather than continually selling their best players (Kante, Mahrez, Maguire, Chilwell, Fofana).

As I said, qualifying for Champions League would have helped greatly in that respect. It would have also made the recruitment a lot better than the average recruits of last two summers.Easier said then done.

Even if Leicester could keep them. They would still want out and it's pressuring if they had contracts that are close to a end.
Brighton will start to have the same problems as Southampton and Leicester have done so the only way to stay on top is they keep developing players quicker to replace the best players that have gone to City, United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle.
