Rumour - Baba Rahman

by Stranded » 23 Aug 2021 09:48

Ready for a good laugh.

According to Ghanasoccer.net, we have made an offer to Chelsea to take Rahman on loan and pay his full wages. Just the 50k per week.

Is it April?

Would rather have Baba Papa. Good utility man who could play in any position or team shape.

thought he was going to be a made-up player like yamas dildo. but I've just googled him and he is real :lol: The 50k pw is obviously bullshit, but looking at his history this could be a goer. He's not getting anywhere near the chelsea first team. if they are prepared to take 8.5k pw then i can see this being a credible rumour

Maybe he's just on £50 per week?

considering he cost £15m he prob is on 50k a week

looks like he needs to get his career back on track as getting on a bit now. Wouldn't rule it out, but yeah very much doubt we'd pay a lot of the wage

yes sorry, i don't doubt Chelsea are paying him 50k pw, they are oxf*rd mental with their wages. What I meant when saying the 50k was bullshit was that we were going to pay the 50k in full as per the OP's details of the rumour.

Mr Rahman has been at Chelsea for 6 seasons and only made 15 league appearances for them! He signed a 5 year deal in 2015 (for £23.4m according to transfermarkt) so must have signed another since then but he’s 27 so not exactly a youngster.

Since he signed for Chelsea he’s made around 45 league appearances in 5 seasons on loan at Schalke 04, PAOK Thessaloniki, Mallorca and Reims so doesn’t exactly sound like an undroppable player (or is injured a lot - ah! I see then why he might fit in at Reading).

His current deal expires in June 2022 so is in Chelsea’s interest to get him out on loan if they can’t sell him.

Yes on loan but not for free ... they'll want to recoup some of their costs.

Looking at available LBs on a free (that are probably in our price bracket), I think Joe Bennett (ex Cardiff) has gone under the radar. Wouldn't be surprised to see him follow Hoilett to the club tbh...

I think he had an ACL injury in March so he’d fit in but it’s a no from me.

Agree, I wouldn't really want him either - but given what we are working with budget wise I think he would be better than what we have - just on Hoilett, I reckon he could have had one of the worst debuts I have ever seen from a Reading player on Saturday, just hope he improves with fitness.

The one club we get good loans from are Chelsea. Bertrand, Ake, Baker etc. As long we don't sign a highly rated youngster from Everton......

That's because they sign anyone and everyone in the hope the player will come good and to stop rivals signing players ...occasionally they will get it right like James and Mount

They can even afford to make mistakes like releasing Lukaku and buy him back for £100m....they'll prob do the same with De Bruyne and Salah who they sold for peanuts

Horrible club, and horrible fans. I'm probably biased as I can remember whenever we played a London side at Elm Park Chelsea songs were sung rather than Reading

Chelsea must be covering his wages surely if so. Incredible signing in our situation if true.

If true it's bloody good news and Chelsea doing us another big favour. Fingers crossed.
