Chelsea transfer ban and our loanees

[muirinho]

Chelsea have been banned from buying players for the next two transfer windows. That may mean that their loanees will get more of a shot at playing for the first team - which reduces our chances of keeping Miazga, I would have thought.

[Old Man Andrews]

Nonsense.

Have you seen how many first choice centre backs and midfielders they have?

[Stranded]

Still quite a few players ahead of both our loanees - plus what 48 players out on loan? I don't think the ban will have much impact on the futures of most loanees tbh.

[Duffy]

Personally I don't think it is anything to worry about from our perspective.

Chelsea currently have Luiz, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Ampadu, Tomori all of whom can play centre back and are ahead of Miazga in the pecking order.

[muirinho]

I see what you are both saying but (a) how many of the first choice players will they have after the summer if they don't get rid of Sarri, and (b), if there are less loan players to go around, we're likely to be further down the list.

[Duffy]

It won't affect this season any way. Whether Reading would have taken up the offer to sign Miaga and Baker or whether Chelsea would sell or the players would want to join is another question.

Your forgetting Michael Hector............

I didn't. He's not really ahead of Miazga. So I didn't mention him.

[Snowflake Royal]

Chelsea can have Baker back as far as I'm concerned.

[Ranty McRantface]

I'm not convinced that will hamper our chances of signing Miazga at all.

There is also the possibility that a new rule around loans will be introduced next season that severely limits the number of players you can loan out too. A combination of these 2 rules and also the number of players a club can name for their Premier League squad will mean quite a lot (They have over 40 players out on loan!) would be rotting away. So they are more likely to sell those that are clearly not going to get a game for Chelsea whilst they still have value and have played for a club on loan recently.

Is the Miazga loan with the option to buy then? Only I can't see us signing him should we go down.

That I don't know but I agree if we go down there would be no chance of him wanting to come here. Same for the others too.

Villa scouting Miazga today.

[NewCorkSeth]

Interestingly I put up a similar thread before we loaned Miazga asking if there were any Chelsea players we should look at in the wake of this news.

Nobody suggested Miazga.

[NewCorkSeth]

Chelsea can have Baker back as far as I'm concerned.

I like his energy. He's vocal. But I can see him being a stop gap signing and unlikely to be a high priority.

[John Smith]

Chelsea can have Baker back as far as I'm concerned.

I like his energy. He's vocal. But I can see him being a stop gap signing and unlikely to be a high priority.

Perhaps he could go and hold down a regular place at MK Dons?

I dunno. What's the scope on MK Dons midfield these days?
