Confirmed Signing Armando Broja

[Jebus_lives]

We're not even paying a loan fee.

Very low risk for us.

 

[Eidean]

That’s an absolutely fantastic deal for us, financially.

 

[MisterJ]

Suppose this doesn't really matter too much to Chelsea, just one of the many hundreds of players on their books that would never get a game.

For them, get him off somewhere else playing and getting them a fee, it's a winner. Isn't he another pure PSR boost as well, think he's come through their youth ranks

Everton this....

New forward, excited.

Injured until mid October= dejected.

 

[JamesEFC]

Yeah that's it, but what was Everton's offer that Ipswich wasn't matching yesterday?

I figure it can only be wages, player preference or there's a gentleman's agreement somewhere.

Could be any/ combination of those things , the cynic in me suggests Chelsea are aware we will have a sellable asset or two come January/ next summer…

We're not even paying a loan fee.

Great deal tbh.

 

[Delargeinho]

We're not even paying a loan fee.

Not the deal I wanted, but this makes it bearable.

 

[davids]

A new low,even for us.

Nice we can benefit from them absolutely cooking their own books.

 

[Neiler]

With the international break its only 2 matches after today until Oct.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

A new low,even for us.

Bit dramatic isn't it?

A new low?

 

[UltraVires]

Everton this....

New forward, exited.

Injured until mid October= dejected.

Is that what they have said?

I knew he was injured but couldn’t see anything definitive about how long the injury will be. Everywhere seems to be just speculation because he played in pre season so can’t be too bad

This from the Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation.

Everton have signed Chelsea forward Armando Broja on a season-long loan with an option to make the move permanent next summer.

The 22-year-old Albania international had looked set to complete a deadline day move to Ipswich.

But a late twist saw the Merseyside club submit a deal sheet before the 23:00 BST deadline for the striker, who is expected to be out until mid-October with a foot injury.

 

[MJA]

I think the concept of "right time right place" is very real. I will be judging him purely on how he does for Everton.
Many originally lifted an eyebrow when we signed Super Kev Campbell. He had been outstanding as a youngster for Arsenal, but then three seasons (including a relegation) at Forest and a disasterous spell in Turkey had a lot of people doubting the wisdom of signing him at the time. (though few would admit it now)

Superkev had a proven goalscoring history Broja hasnt. Not comparable in the slightest.

 

[bluestevon]

But they had repeated offers turned down since?

Could just be Ipswich tried to take the piss with an earlier offer it changed the offer last minute and got on Chelsea's nerves.

Similar to the way we would have felt if United came in late with a big offer on Jarrod and we had a similar offer elsewhere
