What's new

Carney Chukwuemeka

When you look at the list of players who went for £35m+ in the summer, and consider how Carney might stack up against some of the names in there, then I think you can see why we might be holding out for the £40m release clause.

Bit of a strange one. No idea why he's been frozen out as he's always looked quality to me. Maresca clearly doesn't share that opinion though.

You'd think Maresca might try a big gamble and, if we are struggling, bring him on between the 72nd and 76th minute.

Would be good if someone could take the battery out of Maresca's watch just after halftime. Would he know what to do? Might have time his substitutions by the position of the sun........ which is practically impossible in the UK. Even in summer!

 
Heard a whisper that he’s off to Newcastle for the release clause if they can get some fringe players away like Almiron.

We had a weaker bench than usual against Fulham. If we hadn't frozen out Chukwuemeka and Chilwell, they could have easily improved that bench.

Was still a great bench compared to most of last season.

Maresca had plenty of options ... but agree if it had Chukwuemeka and Chilwell on it (instead of say George and Bettinelli) the bench would have had even more good options for him not to use 🙂 .

No one is saying that is worth though, it’s how much the market is willing to pay for him. If he was getting PL mins here and there, no questions we will get £40m+. As things stand he is surplus to demand. Another thing to be considered is most of the big money deals happen within the PL, because PL clubs are flush with cash. 
£40m is also a huge fee in the present market, I am not sure there were up to 15 deals above that deal in the summer window in/out of the PL.

Have a look at the players that went for £40 million in the summer.

We will get £40 million for him.

 
Saw Dortmund linked with him this morning, would be such a logical move for him and he’d flourish and then return to the PL in 2-3 seasons a 100M + player.

Problem is they are only interested in a loan deal and wont go near the £40m we are demanding. Dembele is still their record transfer at €35m, paid €30m for Bellingham, and far less for Halaand.

Still feel the £40m fee they are after is a pipe dream.

6 month loan could be good for all parties. 

Chukwuemeka would dominate at Dortmund, similar profile to what they had in Bellingham. 6 months over there could make his value sky rocket, or better yet stop the SD's from wanting to sell him for profit.

I'd prefer that. I would like him to go there, prove how good he is and then come back and force his way into the team. I feel like it will just be another Maatsen situation though.

 
Rumour is he will go to Strasbourg on a 6 month loan which means we have to recall one of Santos, Petrovic or Wiley.

Carney needs to play if we want top dollar.

Welcome home Andrey.

Chuckled when I saw the Strasbourg loan move, like the Celtic one would be a backwards move. Seems the player is comfortable and isn’t pushing for a permanent move away.

If we send one more to Strasbourg then I reckon we bring Wiley back and either loan him elsewhere or we sell/loan Veiga.

 
Wiley has barely played for Strausbourg, seems a waste of a loan spot. Might as well recall him and let Santos have the rest of the season in France to develop and let Chukwuemeka join him.

I think Wiley would probably have played more had he not missed 89 days (11 matches) with knee and shoulder injuries
