Just shows the importance of investing in genuine long term signings tbh. Almiron still has plenty to prove, but he'll run his heart out and offer a genuine outlet if nothing else. Kenedy has never been our player and has played like it.

This piss poor wafer thin excuse of "He's a loan player so obviously he won't try" is pathetic. He's being paid by Newcastle and he's a professional. If this is his attitude just because of that then he'll always find some excuse to be a lazy cunt.

More disappointed compared to the anger most people seem to be directing at him. He could have been a fantastic player for us and for Chelsea if he had a full season like he ended last but after a handful of good games early on he’s just gone. He doesn’t even have the drive or dynamism he had or seemingly any tactical awareness.

 

I think he’s my biggest disappointment this year because I thought he was going to be a next level player for us.

I'm the complete opposite. I think he's trying too hard, to get noticed. He simply refuses to do the right thing, instead looking for an assist or a goal. Prime example was when we broke and he should have set Atsu away. Instead he tried to find Rondon, himself.

Went to the game today and thought he was fucking rancid in those moments that were probably off camera. Out of possession, the daft cunt was a minimum of 15 yards off his man at all times.

 

He was a major factor in the tide turning after half time imho. You've only got to see the few minutes Muto got to see the difference in workrate and effort.

 

Fuck knows why Rafa brought him on so early. There had to better options FFS.

Didnt Chelsea want 20m for him last summer? Wonder how they decided he is worth 10m more after this abysmal season

 

Fuck knows but the daft prick doesn't know how to press that's for sure. Lazy cunt today.

There is a player in there somewhere but perhaps we are seeing or rather he is finding this is the kind of slippery slope signing for a Chelsea as a young foreigner and going out on loan after loan without ever settling and before you know it you’re 23/24 and a career is passing you by kind of thing. He’s not the first nor will be the last.

 

He needs to leave Chelsea, find a level he can play at consistently in a position he can produce the goods or some good. To be fair to him, after a very promising start when he first joined on loan, he did enough to warrant joining permanently and had he, I think he’d have proved his worth in that sense as opposed to where we are at now at the club still on loan.

 

Sent back to Chelsea and then at the last minute sent back here, not confident, fit or sure of his part to play, where he fits in, where it will lead. Brick walls! Cardiff away tipped the scales and he’s not really recovered nor had the kind of chances to recover. I think Rafa knew no matter what he did, we’d never sign him permanently anyway and that has played a part in things I’m sure which has played a part in his regression.

 

As we dropped down the table further heading into October and beyond, not losing become the priority in order to stay in the ‘game’ and mount an assault on survival and players who could be trusted to do a job for that kind of occasion Rafa turned to and stuck with, Kennedy not that player.

 

Climbing away from the bottom and looking up, Kennedy’s importance to aiding that upturn as he did last season had to be weighed with the certainty he’d be gone for good at the end of the loan and once Almiron come in, a far better player, Kennedy become even less useful going forward so to speak. Days numbered.

 

What I take away from his time here is Rafa wanted him on loan in the January of our championship season to get him in early which he then planned to make a permanent deal before the start of the PL season. That never happened, again Rafa wanted him, this time he does get his man and on loan a few month later, the plan to make it a permanent deal afterwards.

 

He does well, shows promise, and Rafa had hoped he’d join permantly, so did the player.

 

If not him, we move on to someone else. The club move to Kennedy again, on loan again.

 

You buy him or you don’t, you buy him great, you don’t, buy someone else.

 

A loan again? What am I meant to do with him? Just another player Rafa has wanted, been denied signing, and then given to do something with for a bit, anything, you can’t have him though, remember that.

 

I’d be happy if we paid 7m for him to sign permanently, nothing more. 20-30m he’d have cost 12 months ago seems like dodging a bullet today, but for a few months after January last year, he was that kind of player for us and worth it given what a difference he made individually, to the team and the difference in the team having him meant for all.

 

Rafa knew that of course...

 

Now he’s moved on, he’s had to, it shouldn’t have to be like this though. Kennedy if Rafa was allowed to sign him in January of the Championship season could well be one of our best players regularly performing the way he did when he joined on loan back in January 18.
