Stats 7,142 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 4 hours ago, Special Juan said: Why the fuck are we still loaning out Lewis Baker? Surely the club can see he's nowhere near good enough, just fucking sell him. 1 hour ago, LAM09 said: Still keeping players that have no hope here for a quick dime. This shit needs to stop. It is a difficult one because Baker signed a contract a few seasons ago which was at least £30k p/w. No teams are going to purchase him and pay that amount a week, so loans are the only viable option. He was offered a big contract due to his excellent campaign for the Chelsea U23 and impressive loans at Vitesse. But now due to his underwhelming loans, will be difficult to sell him unless baker takes a pay cut, which he will not do. He probably the highest earner at Dusseldorf just by his wages he is on at Chelsea. Look at Izzy Brown for instance. Only made 2 appearances last season and again was probably the highest earned at Leeds due to what we are paying him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone at his age would/should want continuity in their career rather than being shipped off with no clear progression in mind. But while he is going out on loan, he is still playing regular football, albeit on high wages. He still will have a good career. But money speaks. If a team offered to pay his full wages, then I am sure he probably would move. This deal is with a view to by so be interesting to see how that turns out. People are forgetting though that Baker is extremely talented. He just has bene unfortunate with his loans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ongoing cycle.I know. It's just something we need to nip in the bud before an inevitable loan limit comes into play, and we're stuck with development squad players.
