Paul Barber on Moises Caicedo
“Moises Caicedo has done well, but he’s still a really young player and you know better than anyone that with young players form can be inconsistent and we don’t want the kind of pressure on Moises that these kinds of headlines can create.
“That said, he’s a very level-headed young man and more than capable of dealing with it, in our opinion.
“He’s settled into the Premier League fantastically and potentially he’s got a World Cup to look forward to as well, so it’s a really good time for Moises and we’re delighted to have him.”
Good morning
Welcome to Sussex World’s live updates on transfer deadline day. Albion have seen more departures than arrivals this summer window but that could all change on the final day of the transfer window. Here’s what Graham Potter had to say after the 2-1 loss at Fulham on Tuesday.
“Well, we will see,” said Potter after Fulham when asked if they will bring anyone in before Thursday deadline.
“We are quite calm. I think everyone is doing the same thing which is to keep working until the end of the window. But that is 10 points from five games and that is the first defeat in 10.
“Even though we are disappointed tonight we have to have a bit of perspective in terms of where the group is at but we have to react at the weekend and my focus will be on helping the guys recover from this and going onto the weekend.”
