Wondering where he should get game time next season... Not taking a dig, but Championship is likely his level at the moment and has to be playing lots of games again proper oppositoin to improve his decision making and overall game. I thought Coventry purely because of Frank, but are there any other good sides for him like Ipswich were for Hutchinson last year?

Personally, i would prefer him to go to holland, germany or france.

Any particular reason for these leagues? Surprised you'd say Holland tbh. I guess good old Strasbourg would be nice, get him to play along Kendry Paez and build a chemistry there whenever/if they come back to play for us.

Dont think he is good enough for regular premier league minutes at the moment. Also not sure he is deeloped enough for France or Germany. Holland is a lesser league, good for technical players. Much like the path walked by Mase.

I see, fair point. With Vitesse being out of the picture I didn't even think of that lol

The Chelsea players call him Evil Saka…

We’ll have to start calling him that 🤣

I think after yesterday it's Saka who should be called Evil George.

I'm worried. I'm going on holiday to the US later this year. Now I fear that being online mates with renowned blacklisted spy @nonotnowjim I will not be admitted into the country.

Yes, for about 4 days. My sister is coming with me (she needs a break after her partner's death), so I'm not sure I will be able to meet @Phillip But she's a grown-up, hopefully she's in a good state of mind to go hercown way for a few hours 🙂

RB Leipzig have asked Chelsea about Tyrique George during club-to-club talks for Xavi Simons. Separate topic and not into same deal but George has attracted interest from Bundesliga and Leipzig are keen.

A permanent move to Leipzig would be brilliant for him.

As much I hate to sell Conham kids, I haven’t seen too much of George to suggest that he will be an elite player who will play at the highest level.

That said, he’s young so a loan will do him good. I think he has done enough to earn him another season of not being sold for profit.

They have a dozen to sell and 5-6 will likely go nowhere. So permanent moves around the fringes is what they'll do. Broja, George, etc. I'm surprised that Castledine was only a loan.

What I cant work out is why we have done three loans to Strasbourg so early. I thought that the foreign limit was 6 loans and there could still be loads still needing to find places.

Six in total.

So with 3 already at Strasbourg we only have three foreign slots available and a month to shift players.

In fairness it looks like there a ew permanent moves in the air now. Players like KDH, Ugo and Carney could have also been prime loan recruits so that could be one headache removed.

I was really impressed with his passing yesterday. Played a good dinked pass to Cucurella who then crossed to Delap, then played a wonderful inverted cross to Delap for a good chance, and then again a good pass out to Estevao who then had a decent chance of it.

The weighting of his passes and crosses seems really good and his decision making is on point. On top of that he is tidy on the ball, rarely loses it, is a decent dribbler and has a decent shot himself.

Would be very disappointing if we let him go and get Garnacho.

I am taking him over Garnacho any day. He will just mess up the harmony in the squad.

Can't believe we're debating on getting Garnacho when we have this kid here.
