While true, they haven't had a player like Caicedo before, either. Bissouma was never as good as him, and that player profile is not the most common. I trust the scouts and data analysts at Brighton, I just worry there won't be an adequate option even available. Caicedo was the lynchpin of that team, his importance can't really be overstated.
By comparison I'm not worried about replacing Mac Allister at all. Yes, he was a great player, but people overrate him a bit and technical playmakers are a dime a dozen, especially in the BHA scouting teams favourite hunting ground of South America.
Sounds like it's time to bring Dale Stephens out of retirement
