You can also rest assured that you'll use the money well and theres a decent chance you'll replace them with players of similar quality, though unproven

Yeah truthfully we need a pure 6 to cover for Casa and a creative 8 to partner him rather than a player who can do both
Best player on the pitch today. Buy him.
Ay, this lad is the real deal.
Yeah get him, he can play next to Casemiro and then eventually replace him
Yup he was immense. Sign him up.
Sign this lad. Amazing today
What a player. I’d honestly be ok with just him, a good striker and a defender in the summer
Unbelievable today
Thought he fell away when Brighton lost control of the game. I wonder if he doesn’t suit games that gets stretched or a team who doesn’t dominate the ball
Just? That would be a phenomenal summer
He plays like a Real Madrid player already. Certainly good enough for them. 5 million.
Was he really the best player on the pitch though? Good performance though, could do with him at United. Surprisingly better on the ball than I thought.
Gonna be the best midfielder on the planet this lad
Pretty striking how comfortable he was in taking the ball in areas that I haven't seen our midfield play from all season, back to goal, tight press and he was very hard to force into mistakes
Reminder: This is not a player performance thread. Use the football forum for player performance chat.
fan girling over Real Madrid unfortunately.
Have to do everything to get him here
He had some shaky moments when Fred pressed him later in the game but he’s super press resistant. His ability in the first third of the pitch is exactly what we’re missing
Madrid has Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde. I don't think they'll go for Caicedo.
Quite clearly to me
I dont follow this one at all.
You only want us to talk about transfer news, ie. rumours of him being transfered? Performance is 100% what guides opinions of whether hes a good transfer or not.
When Caicedo was at Independente he said his dream was to either play for Man Utd or Real Madrid. So it's not anything new about him telling the Spanish media about his desire to play for Real Madrid. But he'll play for any team team that sells him the project and pays him the money.
At 21 years old he's showing a very high level of play in a position where he's expected to both pass and receive passes under pressure. Not even the likes of Rodri were as good as him at the same age imo.

He's very good and would improve our midfield in a lot of the ways it's weak.
Hadn't quite registered with me that he's still only 21 either.

I liked him before this game and I like him even more now. Looks like he would be a great fit for us.
Looks like they are spending big on Bellingham, also - doubt they will go for another mid in that case.
When someone says we need like-for-like Eriksen replacement, I say we should rather take a look at this guy. He plays like a very mature player and is only 21, therefore he's worth a ton of money.
We don’t want people scampering into the transfer forum each time a player miskicks a ball or scores a goal. That’s what the football forum is for.
The transfer forum is to discuss actual transfers, qualities certain players have and how they might impact the club.
Bringing attention to how good a transfer he would be is half of the discussion.
Ed Woodward and Matt Judge didn't think £5m was worth the risk. Let that sink in.
The scouts did their job and we're watching him closely. His camp were making noises about wanting the move and as usual the club was let down by absolute clowns who couldn't run a P up in a brewery.
What a fantastic player.

Solskjaer would have had him in the reserves. Good thing for him he didn’t come here he would have never made it.
I think bruno and Eriksen are ideal opponents for him as well
Having Fred come on to fight back helped
Brighton would probably demand 80-90 million for him and honestly I would pay
It’s probably all of the discussion.
He was just tired at that point. Not surprising considering his output.
Brighton have said his value is over £150 million and they do not want to sell.
Absolutely
As much as I dislike them, that is an absolute Myth. The problem was that he was represented by multiple agents. The Brighton fans in this very thread can tell you if you don’t believe me
Yet Brighton who play in the same division under the same rules managed to get a deal done.
How does that work then?
Even that reasoning looks weak in hindsight. It's easy to say now, but he was really well regarded and it's obvious to see why. It's a shame a slightly more complicated process was the reason we foregoed the signing and let Brighton get him.
They won't make that mistake again.
