The breaking of the fellowship

It has come to pass. 😢

These were (most of) Brighton & Hove Albion’s South American players during the 2022–2023 season:


Left to right:

Moisés Caicedo (Ecuador).

Jeremy Sarmiento (Ecuador).

Julio Enciso (Paraguay).

Alexis Mac Allister (Argentina).

Pervis Estupiñán (Ecuador).

This season, Sarmiento was lent out to West Brom; Mac Allister moved to Liverpool; and, yesterday, Caicedo signed an eight-year contract with Chelsea. His transfer fee is said to be £100–115 million; the British record is £106 million.

I’m proud of and happy for Caicedo, I guess, but I really liked seeing all these guys play together at Brighton.
