Emil Krafth

[Pilko]

Great news this. Long live Krafu. Solid, reliable, versatile cover. No mess, no fuss, good lad.

[The Prophet]

Sensible move.

 

More than hints that Lascelles is off in the summer too.

[Holloway]

Well in Krafthy .

[MagMal]

Squad filler, can do a job against lower league cup teams and the odd league appearance, knows the club, squad and the way we play, probably not on massive wages and we don't have to pay a fee, what's not to like.

[NE27]

Never thought I'd see the day where in 2025 we are offering krafu a contract extension and I'm immeasurably pleased about it

 

Well done cheese slice.

Wasn’t he meant to be on over £60k p/w?

 

These rumours never seem to be substantiated, mind

[Zero]

Would be very very handy next season

[Sibierski]

Think all these contract extensions are with a view of getting a few £million for them in summer.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I can see Krafth staying. Dubs too if he agrees to be backup to Trafford. 

[Pilko]

Brilliant when he came on today. Strong in the tackle, used the ball well, no mess, no fuss. He's just the most dependable player, I'd say cult hero but that usually means they're rubbish and he absolutely is not.

[The Butcher]

So, so reliable.

[Displayname]

Great squad player. Need a few of those.

[54]

Absolutely shut down their left side when he came on, so dependable. 

[Holloway]

Brings calmness,solidity. Great squad member 

[janpawel]

He's genuinely excellent 1v1

 

Tino and Krafth our lockdown full backs

[M1tche]

Has elite level physicality which is a massive help from the bench

[Newcastle Fan]

He has such a good mentality because he doesn't get many chances but whenever he does he seems very reliable, very good squad player to have.

This, his 1v1 duels against Cucurella if you didn't know who the Euros winning Spanish player was you'd pick out Krafthy all day long 

[PauloGeordio]

Love a bit of Krafu.

[Mazzy]

Agree with what's been said. Very good when he came on.  

 

Happy to see him at RB in the next two games if that's what is needed. 

[Disco]

Nick Pope confirming he’s called Cheese at the club. Massive.

 

[Optimistic Nut]

Not a bad £5m spent in the end. 

[The College Dropout]

He's one of the advantages of having a slightly older squad than most.

 

We bring on seasoned pro's to close out games. You can tell he's a proper character behind the scenes. Good professional, supports the team, trains well, mentally prepared for battle even though he's unlikely to get many minutes.

 

I don't think Chelsea have that type of culture in their club. Lack of leadership in management and above - most of these players have seen out 2-3 managers already. Too young. Too detached from the fans. Lack of leadership in the squad.

 

I look at Krafth and I know "he gets it". It gives me faith that Miley will make the step up because he's surrounded by players that get it.

He clearly loves being here.

 

I look at him and imagine him being here after retirement, doing podcasts and stuff.

[GallowgatePigeon]

It look liked Chelsea tried to target him when he came on and he didn't put a foot wrong.

 

I remember this dude looked horrendous under Capt. Steak Bakes and was one of the first I wanted us to bomb out but he's done well whenever he's been called upon. There'll always be a place in our squad for an experienced, reliable and versatile pro who can stand up and be counted when he's needed the most.
