Caicedo ponders life away from Eastlands

Fri, 24 Jul 08:37:35 2009

Manchester City striker Felipe Caicedo is looking for a fresh start with Sporting Lisbon after dropping down the pecking order at Eastlands.

The summer arrivals of Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez and Roque Santa Cruz mean the Ecuador striker's first-team chances are likely to be limited and after interest from Sporting the 20-year-old is keen for a move to Portugal.

"My objective is to play and to demonstrate that I can triumph in Europe," Caicedo told www.skysports.com. "City have many forwards who have arrived this summer and they have complicated my presence."

He added: "For me it is difficult to get in the starting XI at City and the opportunity to go to Sporting would be a personal challenge to me."

  1. giving up? come on you cant class him as giving up he­ just wants to play football he wont even make the bench­ next season so a season on loan will be good for him i­ like caicedo its a shame to see him go, realistically 4­ strikers is plenty benjani will go evans has gone and i­ reckon bellamy will be on his way, everyone says how­ you gonna keep tevez, adebayor santa and robinho happy­ will be hard but everyone is underestimating bojinov i­ reckon with a couple of injuries he'l come out­ glowing and will be hard to displace him of the team
