How did us paying more money help with his work permit though? He was pending an Italian passport which went through no? I don't get how us paying big money gets him his Italian Passport.
Having a passport doesn’t mean you’ll get a work permit. That was where I was coming from. It’s sort of like convincing the British Govt to give an “exceptional talent” exemption.
I agree but surely its far more straight forward for those in the European Union (process was started before the deal), or even in Europe to get a work permit?
Release clause, I think.
He plays in the Ecuadorian league. Their record outgoing transfer is £3.8m for a winger to the Mexican league, and then drops down to £1.8m. There’s about 5 total transfers in the leagues history that have been more than £1m.
I don't understand Italian football. We couldn't sign a Diallo type talent from a team comparable to Atalanta for 20M. They would charge us at least 50M or whatever and if Diallo is a top 3 Serie A prospects for his age group, isn't he worth that and shouldn't Roma and the Milans be competing with Juve and that forces one to pay 50M?
He’s on there and is highly rated, depends what leagues you have loaded I guess
Could you explain those ratings please
After Brexit there isn't any difference between EU and LatAm countries so his Italian passport doesn't help at all.
What are you asking? Which talent we couldn't sign? Also, we don't know if Roma and the Milan teams were also interested.
How much did Sancho cost prior to joining Dortmund?
Ahh I see. Cheers! Any other clubs in for him do you know?
I think, for his club this transfer means their entire budget for a year, if not more. For Ecuador this is huge money
Chelsea keep getting quoted but nothing from any reliable sources just click bait artists repeating the rumours from yesterday. Ecuadorean press reporting that contract signing and medical holding up the announcement. When you think this has only gathered pace this week, fans are ridiculously impatient. This is also a negotiation between a South American club and an English club within all that’s happening right now yet we want it concluded...now!
Hi, I’m a happy expert (self-proclaimed). I’d like to spout some happy shit:
He is coming from a small club in Ecuador, the whole club is probably worth £5m and I don't mean this as an insult but it's the reality for many clubs operating in poor countries.
Yeah, that makes sense. Could be an astute signing by Ole and his staff.
Are you being funny or serious?
) and he's only rated higher on potential by 4. I'd imagine Caicedo's potential would grow just by him playing in a more recognisable league.That's not how FM rates players. They do Potential Ability(PA) out of 200, while some young players will have 'negative' ratings(-10, -95, -9, -95 etc.) which means their PA will be randomised between a set range. A quick google tells me that Moises Caicedo has a PA of -85 which means he will have a PA between 140-170 which will be determined randomly at the start of any new save. He could be anything from a decent squad player to world class depending on the save. I think you may have gotten confused with Fifa which rates players out of 100.Are you being funny or serious?
Football Manager rates players out of 100 based on many qualities that they do thorough research on.
81 will be the best Caicedo can grow to, with all the best development,b training, game time etc.
That isn't bad considering he's relatively unknown from the Ecuadorian league. Bellingham is very highly rated (retired his shirt number in Birmingham
Well there you go. Merry Christmas.
Roy Keane IMO was a box to box midfielder with strong defensive attributes. Arturo Vidal was also similar and both players were monsters especially when it came to ground coverage and sensing danger. I feel this kid (Caciedo) is similar in profile but will need time to develop and get settled into new surroundings if we do end end up signing him.
Newest FM games include scouts reports which generate a number out of 100. However, that number depends on how good the scout is at his job and how suitable the player is for your team.
Its a hidden rating within the game that basically gives you an idea of their potential, the higher the better and hes one of the better young midfielders on the game
Why is this thanks to Brexit? If being in the EU was a barrier, how have Portugal and the Netherlands been hiring the creme de la creme of South America for years?
I'm guessing but maybe he/she meant it the other way around. That signing EU based players will be harder post Brexit so footballers from other places (incl S America) may be easier by comparison?
Cheers mate, you saved me the time.
Amazing to hear, especially about the lone DM role but he's obviously a bit biased and I doubt he could stand in as CB in the PL at 178cm..
Keane definitely started as B2B (Forest and a few years with United) then ended sitting deeper and instead of making 40 yards runs to get on the end of something, made 10-15 yard runs to break up opponents play. Excellent at both.
I agree mate and @NYAS has also said the same about us maybe signing a specialist DM which IMO will potentially make the base of our midfield very strong in the mid to longterm.
Why not? Keane did from time to time. Mascherano played against English clubs loads of times at CB and did well also. Blind of course is only 2cm taller. I think if you're good enough you can do it.

He is 18 and has to move to a whole new culture, language and climate. He will need a year to adjust. But I trust Ole to slowly bed him in like a Greenwood.
