He was a 9 million flop for Crystal Palace, then they loaned him out to Turkey(Trabzonspor) where he had a good season and CP sold him to RB Leipzig for 20 million - where he flopped again.

Vesper 30,170 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Michy Batshuayi: Chelsea forward signs contract extension but joins Besiktas on loan https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58257446 Forward Michy Batshuayi has joined Turkish side Besiktas on loan until the end of the season after extending his contract with Chelsea until 2023. It is the 27-year-old's fifth loan spell since joining the Blues in 2016. Batshuayi has previously had stints with Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and two spells at Crystal Palace, where he scored two goals in 18 league appearances last season. The Belgian has not featured for Chelsea since February 2020. Turkish side Besiktas won the 2020-21 Super Lig and will feature in the Champions League. Since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Marseille for £33m, Batshuayi has scored 25 goals in 77 appearances for the Blues. He scored six goals under Frank Lampard in the 2019-20 season but with Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud in fine form that season he struggled for opportunities. He helped Chelsea to win the Premier League in 2016-17, his debut season. The move comes as Romelu Lukaku returns to the Blues and Abraham departs for Roma.

Vesper 30,170 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) Chelsea man “often irritates his teammates” – Lack of understanding impacts others http://sportwitness.co.uk/often-irritates-Chelsea-man-criticised-obsession-improve-states-make-teammates-play-less-well/ Chelsea have had four managers since the start of 2016/17 season and Michy Batshuayi has struggled to impress all of them. The situation has forced the Blues to send him out on loan since 2018 and in August, the west London club extended his contract and allowed him to join Besiktas on a temporary deal. On September 8th, Het Belang van Limburg reported the 27-year-old has been ‘undergoing sporting agony’ since joining Chelsea in 2016. In the absence of Romelu Lukaku, suspended for Belgium’s World Cup qualifier against Belarus, Roberto Martínez started Batshuayi on Wednesday. Former Newcastle United defender Philippe Albert, who represented Belgium between 1987 and 1997, was critical about the Chelsea owned player. He is of the belief Batshuayi’s presence on the pitch hinders the team. “The new Besiktas striker is of good will but he often irritates his teammates by not understanding the others, which makes them all play less well,” Albert was quoted as saying by Foot Mercato. “And his obsession with increasing his crazy stats (22 goals in 37 caps) in the national team hurts the fluidity of the Belgian game. Hopefully his season in Turkey will do him some good because we might have a real problem. “Given his mind-blowing personal stats for the national team, Batshuayi is always a highly anticipated forward when he steps up for the game. Against Belarus, it was more difficult than expected, despite a cancelled goal and two clear chances.” Albert is of the belief Besiktas are the right club for the Belgium international and has urged him to regain his best version during his loan stay in Turkey. “He must rebuild his confidence in Turkey, where Besiktas offer him a golden opportunity to get back on track after five years traveling on the bench where he has never managed to win. Once he stacks up a few goals on the shores of the Bosphorus, things will be better for him, you’ll see,” he added. “Hopefully nothing bad happens to him in terms of injuries between now and the Nations League Final Four or the World Cup in Qatar.” Edited September 9, 2021 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,698 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Scored a brace on his debut yesterday. Hope he will keep up. Extending his contract might have been a smart move, Besiktas or other teams might buy him for fair amount. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
