I have a feeling he'll go back in jan and end up in a decent League One side where he'll probably look very good.
It’s just not happening for him at Chelsea. He looked great when he was playing for Southampton and gained interest from a lot of clubs. Broja would be a star in the championship.
Broja has been injured and also has about 3 full seasons worth of football to his name, most of which is in the PL and is their 3rd choice striker.
Tbf to him, he came through charlton's youth team and broke into their 1st team at a young age - did pretty well then got his move to chelsea
I honestly think you’ve got mixed up with what you’ve heard. I’m not trying to be funny. Clubs want their loan players to go away and get minutes. Could you explain the sense in putting a clause in a contract that if you don’t play a player for certain amount of game time you need to keep them? I don’t understand how that helps a club when their player isn’t playing and his value is decreasing because of that?
Please remember it's years since I did any contractual work. But as far as I remember, most loan deals had % of playing time and 1st team placements in them,but things change and this might be one of them.
I’d imagine it was the other way round. If a player has played X amount of minutes, the parent club are unable to recall. But if they’ve played under that, they can. It’s the only clause which makes sense for both parties
I am genuinely sorry I ain't seen the contract. If you look back at loans we have had over the last 12 years, none have been recalled unless injured or the parent club need them due to injuries. That's as far as I can remember.
