Good luck to Moises Caicedo, a phenomenal talent at 21 with room for further growth.
It makes no difference to me and I have no axe to grind.
Based purely on current football reasons, my view is he chose the wrong club.

Graham Potter went 10 games without a win in each of his first two seasons at Brighton.

He's a slow burner. It takes time for players to really grasp his ideas.
