'Chelsea are blocking potential loan moves' - Mbuyamba's agent worried about defender's progression

 

Seems odd. If he has offers in the Championship and the Dutch league it makes perfect sense to loan him.

Even more so now with the loan numbers changing to 8 international loans per club next season as well as he wouldn’t be in the classification to be exempt as he isn’t a homegrown player u21 player. 

Personally think that the u23s struggling shouldn’t come into it at all. U23 football is of a poor standard and if the u23s position has any real bearing on the decision making then those involved should have their head checked.

So much for the hype and young prospect...

From Barcelona to Chelsea to Volendam..quite a fall but perhaps a move back to his homeland can help him rise again. I’m thinking Boehly took the call and asked Whats a Volendam..

A. It was clear watching him that he was not at the level suggested.

B. For the first time in my life I came close(ish) to being an ITK. I was at the 21s EFL Trophy game vs Sutton last night. I sat in the main stand next to two members of the Chelsea communications team who were posting, tweeting and whatever else they do. Had a nice conversation with one of them at half time and shortly afterwards heard when they were notified that Xavier's move had been completed. Did I say closeish to ITK? Maybe closeish-ish. 🙂

P.S. Cesare Casadei played and was sent off for two yellows. He had a solid game though. Nice tight technique, good passing and likes going in to a challenge.

his knee injuries wrecked him from what I saw

I had such high hopes, but oh well
