Kenedy

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Shed some light, please. Where does he play, how, reported fee, can he break in the 1st team or is he another, buy now (cheap) sell later ( better price)?

He plays for Fluminense in Brazil. The deal looks like its around £6m. He'll be nowhere near the first team, he'll likely be loaned out and if he shows serious promise brought back into the squad.

He just fits with our recent policy of buying players cheap and selling them for more whilst they're on loan.

Chelsea appear to be close to adding Brazilian striker Kenedy to their ranks according to reports.

Having secured the signature of Atletico Paranense midfielder Nathan this week, the Blues hope to secure Kenedy for a similar transfer fee.

Kenedy, who has been tracked by the likes of Manchester United, forced his way into the Fluminense first-team at just 19 years of age.

He’s always made it clear he wants to play in Europe, and now Sky Sports says a transfer is close.

‘Of course, I am happy to play for Fluminense but it is my ambition to one day play in Europe,’ he said.

‘I like Chelsea because of players like Oscar and Ramires.’

Kenedy will move on-loan once he completes his move to Stamford Bridge.

Whats going on with brazil players names? Why are there no more inho's and typical brazil names? Kenedy, Wallace, Nathan, Mayke, Marlone...

Plus if we are going after all brazil kids, why dont we buy Gabriel from Santos who is the only worthy player we should target from brazil ATM.

Nathan part II

Nathan part II

This is getting tedious now. Nathan's the next Piazon who was the Next Kaka; that makes Robert Kenedy the next-next-next Kaka and the next-next Piazon.

We should of gone after Gerson Silva from Fluminese, that kid is quality...unfortunately, from what I've read he's off to Juve/Barca in 2016

Then there is that Mosquito kid we were linked with.

I like these strange names though. Robert Kenedy - was he named after RFK or it is just a coincidence?

[Mechromancer 262]

Looks like we sign the next Douglas Costa. I'm so happy.
