Keep a clean shit tomorrow, United is my final bus
Brighton are obviously going to say he's not for sale. And I don't believe they'll want to sell him. But I think they'll sell for a certain price and the player has gone on record and said it was his dream to play for Man Utd.

Caicedo and one of de Jong, Bennacer or Caqueret are a must imo and the Glazers have to make the money available.
Caicedo and Caqueret :drool:

Well well...

We should bite their hand off

He'd be worth 50-60m to us honestly

Sort of player we should have been exploring from the beginning very good age, Brighton would rinse us like they did Chelsea to be fair

We're going to throw a stupid amount of money at him because of the 1 game. Regardless of if he comes, it's such a joke situation. At least he'd be a defensive mid I guess. Gonna be 50m on Caicedo in the same summer Bissouma left for 25m. What a club.

The money is a joke given we reportedly had him in the bag 18 months ago. But hes been v solid for Brighton since he came.

we all did the same with Mane too.
The club is still obsessed with Galatico signings, Sancho, Varane, Ronaldo, FDJ. Not saying under the right manager that profile of player can't be successful for us but we need to stop being snobs and target PL players at bottom half clubs. The problem is PL tax but if you can get a good deal like Liverpool did with Jota for example you can easily upgrade the squad with far more certainty

Meh, if we'd have signed him earlier we would have loaned him out to somewhere he wouldn't play and killed his career.
Yep, besides there were bound to be some punts we decide not to sign that end up a success. You just never again hear about those that don't

Even if we brought him in, which would be a joke considering all things, we'd wreck him. That might be unfair to ETH who deserves our support but the record is pretty clear that we've brought in decent players in years and almost to a man who have wrecked him.

It's not one game and he is very good. The profile which we should be targeting. Also Bissouma comparison doesn't make sense. We would never be associated with a player who has a rape case.

But definitely why didn't we sign him in 2020 ? God knows!!

Why is he being offered around? Red flags all over
$$$

The player and his representatives would earn much more money with him at a bigger club.

Also been reports that him and his family have been fans of the club previously and Ole did try for him, was just a complicated mess to sign him given all the dodgy stuff going on over who actually represented him.

We just need to make it worth Brighton's while like Chelsea just did for Cucurella

To be fair, with this attitude you might as well give up on watching us?

Not arguing with the rest but 100% this is on the back of Brighton beating United and nothing else.

There’s so many midfielders we could go for but lets go for the ones that we either played a couple of weeks ago, ones that Ten Hag has worked with before or the cheap wheeler dealer option that nobody wants.

What do our scouts actually do? (Is that a thread yet?)

We did try to sign him from Ecuador last year during the winter window though before he landed at Brighton.

He's been a known talent for a while now and he had an excellent Copa America last summer to boot at 19
