Caicedo is moving absolutely crazy this World Cup. He went from anchoring the midfield to dictating everything, breaking passing records, and now heβs randomly on corner and free-kick duty for Ecuador? Heβs literally doing everything except playing in goal.β¦
How many midfielders have come up against Caicedo and bossed the midfield?

I'll be blunt and direct. And say what most people think or have seen but dont say it out of fear of being called names or be seen as stupid.
This market is controlled and managed by PR Guys and bought off Influencers that push certain narratives to suit certain purposes.
They say this guy is an Alonso choice but I will only believe that when I hear Alonso himself say that.
The only reason why I have kept off discussing this guy is because I want to trust its the managers choice. And Alonso would be smart enough to know what he would want to do with him. And that is worth trusting.
Even though to me he looks more like our SD's PR covered gimmick buy.
To be honest, the only thing I like about him is his dribbling technique and lunged runs. More like lite version of Lewis Hall.
Everything else stinks.
I would only trust the SD's when Alonso confirms he sanctioned his acquisition.
Otherwise this one I am sitting out until the day the kid himself proves me otherwise.
Fear PR Gimmicks and trust only your eyes and judgement. So far 99.9% of the signings I warned against proved me right.
And this one scares me too.

Imagine adding Palestra, Lacroix and Xhaka in one window.
That's improving the pace, height, power, personality and physicality of the squad.
We mean business this summer.

Granit Xhaka for Β£30m; should we buy or walk away?
It's complicated. Sporting-wise, we need him, but financially, it doesn't make sense because it's money we can't recover, and he may not be useful to us after two seasons.
However, in my opinion, if Sunderland insists on Β£30m or no deal, we should buy him. We will eventually get that money back indirectly.
He's been with Alonso, so he's plug and play and will help players around him in midfield. That alone will soften any possibilities of a slow start. In the Premier League, it could be the difference between making 18/21 points and 14/21 in the first 7 games, and money is disbursed based on League positions. So, we could earn around Β£5-10 million.
Also, having a stable midfield could save us 7-10 points over the season; that could be the difference between qualifying for the Europa League and Champions League. Just like last season, if we had bought a top CB, we could have made the UCL considering the amount of points we dropped from defensive errors.
My point is, if it comes down to a Β£10 million difference in valuation, instead of walking away, we should do the deal because we will eventually get that value for money. He's not a risk; he's tested and trusted.

Spot on from Vince here
It will be interesting to see what reception Enzo Maresca receives from Chelsea fans in games against City next season. Down to play each other on Dec 12 (a) and Apr 24 (h) as things stand.

If after winning the CWC beating PSG 3-0 you give me Garnacho, Gittens, Delap, Bouananotte and Mamadou Sarr i wonβt even wait till December to leave that disgusting club, I wouldβve resigned that exact moment, Maresca did well by even staying longer.

π¨ Maresca: βCity is an incredibly well-run football club. Everything they do is innovative, planned and purposefulβ.

Someone said that Maresca's resignation was a blessing, as Chelsea had a poor run and accepted to tweak their model. It also led to hiring Xabi Alonso.
Well, it's too early to say, but if Alonso proves to be the better manager and brings Chelsea back to the level we deserve, then we can look back and say that it's actually a blessing, and missing the UCL will feel like a necessary sacrifice.
I really hope that's the case.

If they donβt back Alonso properly, he will also leave mid season and youβd be calling every manager/player snakes, keep lying to yourselves youβd learn soon, their careers comes first before anything. If they see the club is not ambitious they will leave to join a better run club.

Snakes in the Pond
When you chase a woman with all your heart and might, then she constantly flirts with another dude, he smashes her and dumps her, maybe even impregnates her, do you become a simp and take her back in the name of being caring or you show her the way to the streets where she belongs?
Our street is the gate to the bomb squad.
Renew and extend his contract without improved terms. If he doesn't want to, show him our street. He still has 6 years left anyway.
There's a very high chance he will be a hit in Alonso's system. You don't want to give him the luxury of walking scott free on Bosman like they do.
The fraudulent little bald man City Saga has shown that there should NEVER be anything like stupid blind loyalties. Snakes are all over. A very high chance they were conspiring little snakes in the pond.
It's only one way.
Our way or the highway
Lets see if the mouth was worth the pain.
