Mitoma and Caicedo both either joined or had their break out season after cucurella left.

Oh, my mistake then, thought they'd all played together. Checking now it was just Cucu and Caicedo for a few games and Brighton got some pretty good results during the stretch so I probably mixed that up. Anyway, Cucu was on a high trajectory career wise. We were crazy to pay that amount anyway, but looking at that list there's really not much to be happy about, especially if we end up selling Chucky for peanuts.

I can't imagine being part of the original Clearlake splurge is particularly working in his favour. If you were to tell me then that Marc Cucurella would be the player who would go on to have the best Chelsea career out of this batch I'd have thought you were mad.

Didn't even realise we signed Tyler Dibling - did we really pay a proper fee only for him to immediately f**k off back to Southampton on a free? That said, I can find nothing in the linked source which says that he cost us £1.7m. The only other source I was able to find in the 30 seconds I spent Googling is from the very dubious Romano, who said we bid £1.5m.

This is one of the worst transfer window that we ever had. 

Worse than bakayoko, drinkwater, morata

Rumours of Carney being loaned to Seltick in the Jan window.  He needs to be playing.  Scottish fitba not that interesting imho, but the lad needs game time.

Would be a decent 6 month loan for him but will only happen if Celtic qualify for the next stage of the CL or at least the playoffs. Pointless otherwise for both the player and the club

 
It’s very infuriating how we can purchase these so called great talents, only to dispose of them ina couple of seasons. Carney has shown enough to warrant more game time. We’ve just got too many players off his position. 

 
Yep, I don't see him getting in ahead of palmer, felix and nkunku. 

Maresca did say at the beginning he needs to play somewhere else to get the minutes he deserves. 

I hope a great loan is sorted out for him ASAP, or a sale with buy back clause. The best thing the club can do for him atm is make sure he is constantly training, keeping fit and ready to step up when the chance comes (for us or whoever he ends up playing for).

He should be getting minutes ahead of Casadei and KDH though. 

 
Now rumours of him being sold to AC Milan in January window.

Would be a shame as I like what I have seen of him but he's wasted when he's not even making our bench and with more incomings in Summer, he may as well go and play somewhere.

 
There has to be a reason Carney isn't getting playing time that we don't know of, the kid is quite clearly talented. He's had some banging performances for someone his age and lack of minutes.

I really don't want him to go anywhere. I rate him very, very highly. But if Clearlake want to off-load him, and Maresca doesn't want him, I would rather he goes somewhere like Serie A rather than to an EPL rival.

I think he has been treated dreadfully TBH.

I would rather he stayed as well Just, as I do rate him. But for some reason, his face doesn't seem to fit and with Estevao & Paez coming, the club clearly feel (rightly or wrongly) they will have better options.

My next door neighbour is a Villa ST holder. He was adamant when we bought him that they, Villa, didn’t know wether to push his career on at Villa or get rid.

His talent was never in question but attitude it seems was to the point where his self belief, arrogance if you like, made him difficult to manage . His impatience to be a regular starter became disruptive 

Now if course my neighbour may have just been saying that to justify the players exit but there is no doubt Carney is a decent player and based on what options we currently have I can’t see him as fulfilling his desire to be a regular starter at Chelsea and if there is a potential £20 million or so profit to be made then for me it’s right we listen to offers

I really like the kid super talented and I would have wanted to see him realise his potential here but seems the decision to offload has already been made. 
AC would be a good fit for him and we have a good relationship with them. 

 
Thought he was poor tonight unfortunately. Pitch was akin to a frozen Hackney Marshes which must have affected them all, but whilst he saw loads and loads of ball, just seemed to want to overplay and come up with the cute one twos rather than keeping it simple. Little if any end product sadly. Shame because i really do rate him.
