steve_69 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 He did alright today coming on. Far better linking with Almiron than Ritchie. Called it last week: Although he's been utter shite this season I actually think Kenedy at left wing back rather than Ritchie would benefit Almiron - Ritchie's instinct is to go down the line and cross the ball in. If you watch the games again, the times when Ritchie ignores Almiron are when he's asking for the ball down the line, where Ritchie himself wants to end up. Kenedy is more comfortable coming inside onto his 'weaker' foot and makes less linear, formulaic runs, so that flexibility of movement would probably see Almiron getting the ball more. Having said all that, Rafa might want Ritchie to make those down the lines runs, in which case Almiron needs to find space elsewhere which will come in time. Still not sure Kenedy quite deserves a start over Ritchie yet but i'd love to see it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Didn't even make the bench yesterday. Wonder what Chelsea will do with him next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 They'll surely find a way around the transfer ban - delay it or something. Could see Kenedy going to a Serie A club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Weird because he’s made a couple of good sub appearances against Cardiff & Everton. Can’t be worse than Ritchie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 So freaking disappointed in this lad this season. I thought we had an absolute star in the making last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Can’t be worse than Ritchie. Well he can be. Ritchie does frustrate me at times but the criticism of him is way OTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Disagree. Think he’s below average at this level. I’d sooner have used this run of games to see if we can salvage something from Kenedy. Either way we need to replace him this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Can’t be worse than Ritchie. Well he can be. Ritchie does frustrate me at times but the criticism of him is way OTT. His delivery on Sat was good - just finishing was awful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Can’t be worse than Ritchie. Well he can be. Ritchie does frustrate me at times but the criticism of him is way OTT. You only need to watch the Cardiff match to know that Kenedy can very much be worse than Ritchie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Chelsea want £30m. I don't think I'd give £3m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Kenedy is a good player who simply didn't manage to get going this season after his bad form early on. I certainly don't think he's as bad as had been made out at times; he was expectional for us last year however for £30m, £20m or even £15m - our money can be spent elsewhere on the squad where it's really needed.

Conjo Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 He's played 86 minutes of first team football since Christmas despite, to my knowledge, being available the whole time. Rafa clearly has no faith in him, and based on his performances that is warranted. They'll never get anything close to £30m for him from anyone. I agree, I wouldn't even give £3m. No point if he's not being used anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 i would give 3 mil like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Aye, was going to say £3m would be a steal £15m+ and we'd be better served using the funds elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 But what's the point if he's not being used anyway? He got lots of time on the pitch first half of the season but is rarely even included in the squad these days. That wouldn't change no matter how much or little he costs. Use it on someone else instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This is a good example of why I'm not nearly as against loans as so many seem to be. Could've spunked £20m down the drain on this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that as if the reason for the loan is to test him out and then pay the going rate if we like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
