Moisés Caicedo

[5 Hit Gibbon]

I'd take him. He's a quality player & versatile. Still really young and would get better under Pep.

Rumors swirling today that an unnamed club has put in a hefty bid for Caicedo. Could it be us?

He is only 21 years old, Premier League proven, and as versatile as they come. He can be used as a fullback on both sides, a double pivot next to Rodri/Stones/Gvardiol, and even as a #8 in the Gundogan/Kovacic role. Similarities can be drawn between him and Bernardo Silva in terms of his ability to play anywhere. Albeit slightly different as Bernardo can operate the attacking wings while Caicedo is more comfortable in the defensive side of it. The Kante comparisons are also clear.

In my opinion this is a player that Pep would absolutely love to have in his squad. Can we pull this off?

Doku, Gvardiol, Caicedo, Haaland, Foden, Alvarez, Mcatee.

Fuck it, give Pep all the wonderkids in his swansong if he wants. Wirtz next year.

Isn't he a defensive midfielder? It would only make sense if Phillips was on his way out which doesn't seem to be happening.

Chuck phillips in as a freebie

Can this mean that Bernardo goes ?

Caicedo I think can play right back, as a CDM and a number 8 , so he’d give Pep loads of options

Mitoma or Encisco?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I'm 99% sure it's Mitoma. Tolmie tweeted earlier today that we were looking at another Prem club besides Palace for a winger. We've been linked with Mitoma over the last few months. We've not been linked, as far as I'm aware, with Caicedo.

I also think Brighton will be more willing to let Mitoma go than Caicedo. They've already lost Mac Allister from their midfield. Caicedo signed a new contract this year, Mitoma only has 2 years left on his deal. If we can send Palmer the other way it could be a simple enough deal to do.

 

[KingGeorge]

he’s not needed at all

You can't really have too much high-quality young talent. I would like to see our next generation of young talent coached by Pep.
