Caicedo Hasn’t Shown Why Chelsea And Liverpool Were Fighting Over Him – Glen Johnson

Ex-Chelsea player, Glen Johnson has come out to say that his former club were ripped off for Moises Caicedo. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if Caicedo is a very good footballer, he has definitely not lived up to the hype since he joined the Blues.

Glen added that the Ecuador international has not shown why top teams like Chelsea nd Liverpool were fighting for his signature in the summer.

His words, “He’s a bloody good player, but I don’t think he’s living up to the massive hype when Liverpool and Chelsea were fighting over him and it was talk of the town. What I think Liverpool have done there is cost Chelsea a hell of a lot more money and I don’t think he’s living up to that hype.

He’s a good player. Was he worth the price tag? Probably not. Brighton only had one chance to sell him, so they obviously tried to ride that hype to get as much money as they possibly could for him, but for me, he’s not living up to that hype. I would still say he’s a good signing, but not for that price.

Unfortunately, you’d have to say he’s been greatly disappointing when you consider the attributes he’s got. For a player with blistering speed and trickery, he doesn’t seem to use it. He came for a lot of money, which isn’t his fault, but I definitely thought we’d have seen a hell of a lot more from him. It’s frustrating because it looks as if he has it all, but he doesn’t have the end product at the moment. We were hoping that he would get a couple of goals and kick on, but then he did score a few and he still didn’t kick on. He’s been frustrating overall.”
