Brighton are becoming to us what Southampton were to Liverpool lol
What contract length is he on at Brighton?
Read they want ÂŁ75m which surely means no Rice if they follow up with the money theyâre holding out for.
We should bid 75m for Rice.
Annoying this guy is the number 1 target
Contract ends in 2025. For what is worth, he is not a high earner there.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I know some reported Rice is still on but I very much doubt it if we sign Caicedo.
Well I guess he might push for it. I donât see why Brighton would unless he throws a Trossard fit.
A bit mad that an injury to Elneny is making them supposedly pivot from Rice to Caicedo, you have to wonder whether Rice really was the #1 target after all lol
I can see why weâre doing it if we really rate the guy, we might like Rice buy Rice isnât helping us win the league in the next 4 months.
Even if he was, that doesnât guarantee anything. Arsenal could very well save their money now and go for Rice in the summer but thatâs gonna be some race regardless. Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, City and Liverpool will all be after him.
Whoever doesnât get Bellingham will turn their attention to Rice. Whoever doesnât get Rice will go for Caicedo, and so on and so forthâŚ
Arsenal could very well come out of it empty-handed.
I think we really really want this league title and weâre willing to sacrifice Rice for it
I donât get the Bellingham and Rice thing they are very different players, itâs not like for like at all
I canât complain at the club trying to bag what seems like a very good young prospect but again itâs a bit mad and just shows people donât know jack shit haha
Is Caicedo really that good?
Not gonna lie, if I could choose between Rice, Zubimendi and Caicedo I would pick Rice and Zubimendi first.
The guy has great intensity sure but he is not particularly good with the ball.
We are one injury away from Lokonga fucking up our whole season
If weâre after him then I take that to mean he is
These guys rarely miss
Itâs never over until itâs over.
And donât call me Shirley.
These transfer fees are getting crazy now, I was reading Caicedo was signed for âŹ5 million in 2021 was then loaned out to a Belgian club for 6 months and now ÂŁ60 million wonât buy him.
True, but also have to factor that weâre doing business in January
With that said theyâll want the same fee in the summer too lol
