What's new

Carney Chukwuemeka

Yeah, we have an army out there...I doubt one coach is enough for just the players.

 
Not used again last night. Fear that we are going to off-load him. Massive mistake.

God, this club at the moment. Unbelievable.

At this point, any signings feel completely useless. They just see the £££ rather than footballing potential. 

 
Clearly no real plan for him, Kelleyman will bet similar treatment.

I'd much prefer Maresca to leave rather than Chucky.

We are going to increasingly see this problem in the years ahead. Especially with loan limitations. There just isn't room to give all these midfielders adequate playing time. Even if we hadn't signed KDH, but had kept Conor, we would have the same challenge. We should be focused on quality signings vs. quantity.

 
How is there no place for Carney in the team?! Same for Chalobah.

It really enforces the view the board is very incompetent and maybe worse our manager does nothing against it. 

They bought too many players again... and what does it do with team morale if teammates are excluded for non sporting reasons. There is no wiggle room apperently, either you are in or out. Just baffling really...

Why are they seeing £££ though? They've yet to offload a single one at a profit.

Totally agree. I think players like Casadei, Santos, D. Fofana etc. will give us an idea about their model. Brought in a couple of years ago, and look unlikely to make it into our first team. So, will we be able to sell them on? If so, will it be for loss or profit when all has been accounted (loan fees, wages over contract etc.)?

Yes let's see. We certainly need to start getting some bodies out the door. They could start with some of the keepers.

Agreed. It is the inevitable result of overstocking with players. Not so noticeable when half the first team is injured like season. But the squad is totally bloated when most are fit, and unfortunately in many cases it is bloated with a lot of average players brought in expensively. In the case of Chalobah, they will sell him as they can get 100% profit, versus taking a massive loss on Badiashile etc. Same logic with Gallagher. But as long as they continue to gamble on all these prospects, its going to be an ongoing issue.

Isn't there some speculation about D. Fofana to Leicester? Not sure about price though.

Apparently a loan. I suppose we'll find out the full details in time. Thing is these players need to play in order to increase their value - given we didn't get any of them for bargain prices. If we just hoard them and let them rot in the reserves they'll be worth less than what we've paid. Our owners and sporting directors don't appear to have figured this out yet.

Exactly. A good loan can at least ensure we get our money back on a player. Apparently, we are keen to include a clause with obligation to buy, but Leicester would prefer the option vs. obligation.

Fofana had a fairly decent loan at Burnley. If he does something similar on his next loan we ought to at least break even, if not make a small profit. On the other hand a bad loan could really set things back. Look at Andre Santos after the disaster of the Forest loan.

I still rate him, but a loan might be the best thing for everyone this season

A bit pointless loaning him and he would be silly to accept that because there is no pathway to a squad role. He is still only 20 mind you, and Barca & Palace are admirers. Would sell him to Palace for a low fee & attach a sell on & buy back clause.
