I believe it has been said he has a 40mill minimum fee release clause. See if one of these interested clubs trigger it.Getting rid of him will really annoy me. He's clearly got the talent, knows the league, he's probably rusty, but I would pick him over anybody whose name I don't even know.
Absolutely Val, he's had a long injury, he's young, and he showed real promise for us, despite only playing a couple of PL games for Villa.Getting rid of him will really annoy me.

As expected once given more game time he looks a right player, not just a good touch but also plenty of strength. Injury is a worry, so fingers crossed. Losing both him and Nkunku would really stuff us up.
We should keep him , it'll be a ludicrous decision to sell him.Missed him when he was injured and went off. Was the main link between midfield and Jackson. Think he could be a very important player for us. His touch and control is superb.
Would prefer a loan myself.Surely Carney is one for the 'loan' where he can get those 30-35 games and we can see how good or bad he really is. I am voting he will turn out good. That said, do we have room for them all? If all the players turn out to be good, where do we play them all? None of them are old.
I think the club tried selling him this summer; the £40m release clause in his contract somehow got revealed but they got no offers. No one is paying that amount for a player with 4 league in 2 seasons and less than 600mins. They are now trying to send him out on loan with the intention that if he gets enough game time and does well enough, someone would pay the £40m.Surely Carney is one for the 'loan' where he can get those 30-35 games and we can see how good or bad he really is.

Therefore he would be the perfect candidate for a strong European loan, but we can't because we have used up those spots on tactical loans for players that we have no idea whether they are even good enough to be top flight professionals let alone elite standard.I'd have to agree with what Maresca is getting at here. The perfect scenario would be us giving Chuks the (extensive) gametime he needs right now to see him develop into a top player for us.
Sadly, that is a thoroughly unrealistic scenario in the real world given so many players are ahead of him in the pecking order for a first 11 spot. Therefore, for the good of the player himself, he needs to leave.
Whoever could have seen this coming. Shocking I say.Therefore he would be the perfect candidate for a strong European loan, but we can't because we have used up those spots on tactical loans for players that we have no idea whether they are even good enough to be top flight professionals let alone elite standard.
Why isn't Maresca saying the same about N'kunku, James and Lavia?I'd have to agree with what Maresca is getting at here. The perfect scenario would be us giving Chuks the (extensive) gametime he needs right now to see him develop into a top player for us.

*100kpwThe stumbling block for teams buying Chukwuemeka is that is on a big wage. I think it is 125k a week. Palace are leading the charge to sign him. He is such a good player imho. A loan to buy option. AC Milan are apparently interested. Barcelona are also interested.
If Napoli want him will be a loan offer with a buy option Ala LukakuNapoli want Chukwuemeka. He could he be used in a potential osimhen deal.
They want Butch Casadei too. Although I think that deal might be permanent.If Napoli want him will be a loan offer with a buy option Ala Lukaku
