Cesare Casadei

Hopefully he turns out to be a top player, I wonder why Inter agreed to sell him and have not been using him though?

 
It may have been Nizzar or Steinberg that stated both Casadei and Chukwuemeka are the long term replacements of Jorginho and Kante. 

Think the Declan Rice rumors will die down now. 
Not a chance & very unrealistic if you ask me. Chalobah for example who you would have expected to have kicked on hasn’t spent a min on the pitch, Azpi has been preferred ahead of him. With Casadei & Chuks I don’t see either of them seeing pitch time ahead of Kovacic, Jorginho & Kante. Against Leeds I reckon it will be RLC & Jorginho, with Gallagher coming off the bench. Long term even with the 5 subs rule; a manager will have 3 trusted players off the bench, a FW, a Md & a Defender. The last 2 even if he makes those subs will be a 80mins+ sub to run down the time. I expect long term the 3 will be Havertz/Pulisic if we get another CF, one of Kante, Jorginho, or Kovacic depending on who starts, and one of Cucurella or Chiwell depending on who gets the nod. Everyone else including the £50m Gordon will be fighting for scraps.

 
this is what a lot of people wanted: to buy players a stage earlier before they become very expensive 

Chukwuemeka + Casadei is our potential future midfield duo 

If this works we would have a midfield 2 for around 30 million pounds
They will need to play though & start regularly just not Cup games. The midfield 2 won’t help either of them. And let’s be honest I don’t see the manager pulling a Klopp who started Elliott ahead of the £50m Keita against Palace. 

 
Never even played a minute for the Inter first team in a competitive fixture, but was in the Guardian "Next Generation 60 of the best young talents in world football" list in 2020.

This is what they had to say about him :

Think you misinterpreted my post. They aren't coming straight in replacing Kante or Jorginho. They are the future. Long term replacements. They'll be slowly transitioned in by reports. 

 
If this stops us from paying over a 100m for Declan Rice, I am all for it.

 
Why are we giving Inter any money? Have we just sent Lukaku there to lose some weight or something, hopefully Casadei ends up a superstar

We're giving them money so they can give us the money back to loan Lukaku for another season. We'll never recoup the first 100m after that horror year, but at least we'll keep the costs at 0 for the near future until someone decides to actually spend something to buy the lump. 

 
I am actually really pleased about this strategy. We are developing an underbelly of bright young kids that could form the cornerstone of a long term programme to bring them all through together.

A Class of '22 type of thing maybe
It’s a good idea, but it’s difficult to know if these young players will fulfil their potential.  We were excited by a future team including Tammy, Guehi, CHO,  Musiala, and Livramento.  In the end these young players end up giving up waiting and move on or just aren’t good enough.  We’ll probably end up blocking their path in to the first team by buying established players for their positions anyway.  Heres hoping we improve integrating these young players.

YouTube makes him look pretty good. Strong, great in the air, freekick specialist and determined to go forward.

Yes, i think the issue is really with the management, or more specifically the management of the management process. If the team management is on a two year production line they don't have time or patience to develop youngsters. They need to deliver and win, ironically not for the purpose of sustainability but actually to bolster their CVs for when teh inevitable bullet comes along.

So if this is the first part of an overall plan with the longer objective being to work with TT over a sustained period so that he and his backroom team nuture this group and bring them all through to create a team fullof outsanding youngsters, then game on, I'm up for that big time.

If on the other hand we are just stockpiling kids becuase we have run out of decent ones and we will now feed these back into the market at some point to make a profit down the line, then great for the club but, meh so what as far as the fans are concerned.

I hope its the former.

Hopefully the new owners giving a long term contract to Tuchel will give him more confidence and security to look at the long term future, rather than fearful of the inevitable sacking around the corner that was the Roman blue print.

Also looks to be two-footed in those clips .. some great goals with both feet !

 
My guess is on loan for a year, Carney already had a season in the EPL and couldn't get into the team, doubt Casadei has a chance this season.
