What's new

Cesare Casadei

Apparently he was brought back as cover for Enzo, because of his ongoing injury issues.

Will see if Poch uses him (ha ha). Maybe our new foxes friend has heard if there is any truth they planned to sign a new midfielder so pulled the plug on his loan.

Our Italian manager Enzo Maresca appeared to really like him & he was being used on a regular basis as a sub and had started the last few games. He was improving & adapting to Championship football & will be missed. We are in the process of signing midfielder Stefano Sensi from Inter but I don't think we returned him because of that. 

My understanding is that it was a recall  & not a return.

Blows my mind that Championship clubs can poach players from clubs like Milan these days, English football is so far ahead of every other country financially now.

 
Now that even Carney can’t get on the pitch, I fear we’ve done exactly the same to Casadei as we did to Ake. Recalling from a successfull loan only to have him warm our bench for the rest of the season is silly, as it will stunt his development. Especially with him being cuptied and us not having much to play for in the league.
Unless of course, he can rotate with Enzo/Caicedo for the deeper positions?

That's not his go. Neither strong nor physical enough for his size at the moment. Saw him brushed aside too often at Leicester. Currently, he's better further forward.

 
Will see at the end of the season but is not looking like the right choice to bring him back.

 
Looking forward to see him try and contest Enzo's role, some healthy competition is always good. The idea is to get used to being here and try and have a breakthrough next season, he's a top talent and it's time.

There is no denying the talent but I feel that playing pretty regularly at Leicester would have done more for his development than sitting on Chelsea's bench.

I've got a Leicester mate who thinks he might have been pushed as much as pulled. They were looking to sign a player in a similar position and he'd have likely ended up getting less minutes second half of the season.

It's just a couple of months till the season is over, he did learn a lot just from being in that Leicester team already so I believe it's no harm done.

They didn’t sign the player though,  Sensi is a different profile to Casadei and can’t stay fit. Leicester needed to make a big sale in Drewsbury Hall to have wiggle room to sign Sensi. Casadei would actually have ended up seeing more game time had both deals gone through.

Like Whitehall said it was “bizarre”. Leicester will get promoted back to the PL, and he could have been loaned back to them next season. Instead he will probably be loaned to a championship club.

Leicester are right on the edge of FFP by all accounts & didn't sign Sensi because they couldn't free up the space for him..  You are right, He was never a replacement for Casadei .We were never going to sell Dewsbury /hall in that window , he is our best offensive talent.

Casadei was getting game time & our Manager seemed to really like him. He was not returned... he was recalled.
