SUPERTOON Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 3 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Again, not remotely worried about this. If he's going he's going, if he's staying there will be a long term plan for him and a pathway into the first team, it might just take longer than we'd hoped. It’s only really a talking point for me because of how stretched we are with FFP. I’m just reluctant to spend 35 million on someone who can’t get a kick.

The Prophet Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 FFP wise, it becomes more of an issue if he can't get a kick next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I get that we were desperate for the win today so not surprised he didn’t start. It is odd that he gets no minutes when he’s clearly a really good player. There’s fuck all any of us can comment on really. Just have to wait and see what happens come the end of the season unless he starts getting serious minutes before then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment we can’t be signing £30m footballers who are at best so raw that they can’t get a kick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 It's the long term plan man don't yous know, let him train but don't give him a hint of playing time. I'd be bang on the drink if I was him ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 He looked promising to me at Chelsea. If this isn’t related to a clause in any way then there must be something the coaching staff is unhappy with. It’s a weird situation given the position we’re in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannybagoftudor Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 is it that we have to buy him if he makes a certain number of appearances - and since the injuries have bitten and our FFP is at the brink we will not play him??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The explanation could be as simple as we like him at LB, but we have Burn and Tino there, and he’s atrocious in the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, assuming the deal hasn't been made permanent, it no longer seems to make that much sense. Especially if he doesn't consider himself a left back, because that's the position where we needed a developing full back of real potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Could it be.... that his appearance would trigger a permanent deal, and when that happens we have to give Chelsea a payment? The last thing we want is more FFP burden during January, just a thought. Perhaps when February arrives, the situation changes and the deal can be ratified sooner, then he gets more games.

Dr Jinx Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 You wouldn’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.. Chelsea could be really pushing their FFP limit and the close to 30m (x3 when it comes to what they might spend after receiving that cash) could be the difference between them being able to afford someone like say Oshimen, or not.. Or it might just be as simple that the kid is shite, but I don’t think so.. think a run in the side would see him improve massively.. but it’s not likely to happen at this point. He has the look of a kid that’s just biding his time until the ordeal is over.. such a waste of a year for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
