Player Valuation: £8m
Swapping one Chelsea crock for another. What could go wrong?
Its hard to say, I think those injuries have changed things tbh
I believe talk of Longstaff was a permanent deal, for around 10m.Why waste a loan on that position, when if we got an attacking midfielder, we could drop doucoure back as 4th choice, instead of wasting our only loan spot ( in Broja goes back) on longstaff
Same for even the short term for experience, i get the views on chuk if was a losn with an option.I disagree I think KDH is a good player, and was always impressed when watching him at Leicester.
I agree longstaff isn’t a good player and would be gutted if we wasted money on him, but I’d take KDH all day
Same will be unless pay them out for broja but atleadt make easier to do another with themI believe talk of Longstaff was a permanent deal, for around 10m.
I dont see any way to loan anyone but another player from Chelsea
He is indeed.Thanks mate. What makes you value CC at that? Is he like an attacking midfield player?
Pretty much based on appearances which yes have been limited but hey as they say footballs all about opinionsGreat insight. If only it was based on evidence.![]()
That injury was unfortunate timing as he was impressing Poch at that time IIRC.He is indeed.
In this link is a goal he scored last season against WHU. One which I thought sought would see his career kick on but alas he suffered an injury

Carney Chukwuemeka's Premier League goal involvements
With Chelsea's Carney Chukwuemeka linked with a move to Manchester United, take a look at his goal involvements in the Premier League.www.skysports.com
As for a massive strand of our owners approach is to see players like him as pawns ( valuable ones at that ) and they have gambled that most of these young players will become more attractive and their values increase mainly due to their potential being displayed in the odd first team appearance or just as likely out on loan .
The days of PL clubs spending silly sums on players in their late 20s will become rare not just at Chelsea but likely most clubs.
When you look at transfer fees it’s quite interesting to view them historically against clubs income. When Forest paid £1 million for Trevor Francis that sum I believe that sum was close to Forests annual income. What I guess I am saying today’s fees aren’t quite as mad as they were in the late 70s or indeed into the 80s.
Over the last 10 or so years vast sums flowed from PL clubs coffers to clubs outside England. That’s not going to end but we are now seeing that there appears to be an appetite to buy from English academies where it’s becoming common place to pay £10-£20 million for players who haven’t played more than a handful of first team games that inevitably pushes up the value of players in they’re early 20s.
Think the idea is Broja goes back and we get a different Chelsea player on loan.Am I missing the point here ? We can't loan him. We won't sign him. Unless something has changed.

Kind of works for everyone - we get a player, Chelsea get an income and they put a different player in the shop window.
But also doesn't - we're not really filling a position we most need to and there is limited choice. Probably also have to pay a bit extra.
He is indeed.
