If there ended up being no option to buy, that article says he'll only have a year left on his contract by the end of this coming season. Could make him affordable on a permanent?

 

Who am I kidding.

 

Read somewhere (last week) that Chelsea might insert a hefty levy into the deal, as part of the loan, to combat us playing that game ie. we'll just run another year off his contract, use that as leverage and look to sign him at a discounted price (with only one year remaining on his contract).

Yeah, we really don't have much pull in these negotiations. We want him, but are unwilling to pay the going rate. Therefore, Chelsea can attach whatever conditions to the loan (and any future fee) they like.

 

There was certainly a story about Chelsea inserting a premium price if we wanted an sort of exclusivity at the end of the loan. Ashley's never going to go for that.

 

It seems Ashley and Rafa are in a holding pattern, and so a one-year deal is perfect for all involved (except for us fans).

Seems to be quite a few places suggesting that Kenedy will be re-signed on loan this week, apart from Lee Ryder who says we are concentrating on a striker.

 

Of course it will be Ryder with the "exclusive" when it happens.

Guess they'll charge a hefty loan fee up front, get his wages off the books and then have an agreed price at the end of the deal?

 

It's a good question, though, but you could ask it for any loan-purchase deal that gets made. We've benefited from a few recently.

I meant as opposed to them seeking the fee now this summer given they're apparently not that flush anymore.

 

Can't imagine we are the only interested party.

They probably account for the fact that it's coming and operate on that basis, unlike what we would do.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Ryder actually means Stephen Ireland, mind I wouldn’t be surprised if Ashley and co have considered him.

I mean I’ll enjoy watching him play but it’s hard to get too excited when we are just achieving parity with the second half of last season.

 

But imagine if we had both Dubravka and Kenedy from the start of last season?
