All in the Conference League I think, barely got a look in in the PL. Saw a couple of the games he started and he looked like he had something about him.
Disappointed I couldnt do a joke once Xhaka was confirmed of well whos next as weve had two strong links in past 4 hours. This window man haha
I'm not sure how I feel about a straight loan. If he helps keep us up then I suppose it's worth it - and gives us time to identify a longer term solution or get Abdullahi the loan he needs and see how he develops.
How much better is he than we have? Does he improve nassively or striking options or eill we still need a “proper” prem ready striker?genuine question as quite ignorant on young talent nowadays
different profile, 6ft 2, very good in the press and is very good in the box according to his former barca coach. "Classic 9"
Hes not had a chance to show much at Chelsea. Good pedigree at Barca. His goals last season were against Shamrock Rovers, Noah FC and FC Astana. No offence to them but I think the young members of this board could give them all a game.
Wonder who the 2 other clubs are, they want to loan him to someone in England so hopefully it’s Liepzig and another foreign club
That's not for me. We have our own young player to develop. Hopefully we have that established number 9 still to come in.
If Chelsea dont want a buy clause, then that says a lot you would think? Looks a different profile to what we have too. I still think Mayenda can become something special and I dont think this would block his pathway. Will leave room for the versatile forward that mainly plays out wide. As others have said, not about us developing players for others, but in our first year back, we will have to adjust if it gets quality in to help us stay up. Time will tell if this lad is good enough but a lot of positive reports about him. Can see Chelsea being happy to deal with us with us taking Burstow and despite it not working out, we gave the lad every chance.
