Not sure at all about this Felipe Caicedo his club record is a little concerning and his scoring record is not one to set anyone on fire for a centre forward.  Transfermarkt renowned for their inflated values,  put his value at £2.55 million

Probably paper talk though! (I hope)

As for Ivanovic great defender, but 33 in a week or two! do we really want to be signing players at that age to help us progress?  Granted as a stop gap it might be a good move, but our current problems are around some of our players are getting to old to track back with some of younger faster players for the whole game.
IMO we need to build for the future and stop this policy of crisis management year after year.  Reminds me a bit of an old uncle of mind, who's car would not get repaired or replaced, unless it broke down all together .  "It'll last another year lad he used to say" (but it rarely did),  sounds a bit like a conversation in Garlick's office
