Rumour - Cesare Casadei

[Hound]

Hector trialling with Sheff Weds if anyone interested. Assume not really

[Snowflake Royal]

Would still take him if we had a CB vacancy.

Unfortunately we're full up with players set for the Championship knackers yard what with Moore, Dann, Hutch and Sarr.

We’re very pleased to confrim the loan signing of Cesare Casadei from @ChelseaFC until the end of the 2022-23 season.

That will mean (assuming he's picked) that one out of Lumley, Hendrick, Fornah, Loum or Baba miss out each week as we can only have 5 loans in a match day squad.

I think most of us would drop Baba, think he might just have a weird rotation of Loum, Fornah and Hendrick though.

I must admit, I think there must be some clause in the Baba deal that he must play if fit, because PI is not stupid by any means and he will see and know that he (Baba) is not the best option at left back

[Nameless]

Any news on who has been removed from the squad to facilitate our 26th player ?

The rumour was that we requested permission from the EFL to drop Tetek from our squad due to him being out for the season, considering there have been no outs, I would assume that permission was granted.

All good be interesting to see what he’s like. Certainly need someone to link the midfield and attack so hopefully he’s the man

[Snowflake Royal]

Expect Fornah to miss out for him to make the squad. Hope it's Rahman.

Fornah did himself no favours on Saturday with his dithering when through on goal. Ince was not a happy bunny.

[Stranded]

Actually think having a 4th loan midfielder could be a good thing. Casadei has clearly been sent here to play, so the other 3 are likely pushing for 2 spots in the squad. That should mean they raise their levels to ensure they aren't the one sat in the stands.

[Snowflake Royal]

Actually think Fornah is the best of the lot and should be playing more.

He's had some duff games and .ade some errors, but for me he's more creative than Hendrick and more dependable than Loum.

I think experience would see him cut out the errors and he's got a bright future.

I don't think he's the best of the 3, but has different qualities to Loum and Hendrick. I agree that experience would hopefully see him cut down on errors and that he does have a bright future, I do think he's someone we should look to sign permanently in the summer.

He's decent enough with the ball, although he's had a tendency to go missing in games though too often. I think he is a good footballer, he's tidy enough with the ball, but just needs "something else" to help improve his game.

[Ascotexgunner]

Described as "an Italian wonderkid" hmmmmm
Chelsea is gonna have to start shipping out a lot of players. I only hope he isnt another Danny "the beast" Drinkwater or Baba "Papa" Rahman.

[Sutekh]

Little bit more about what to expect of him…

Fornahs a good player and if he was available for a million or so in the summer then I’d be happy if we took him on

It’s just the situation again - ince rightly or wrongly things the experienced heads of Hendrick and Loum are more likely to get us over the line. He may well be right but I’d hope to see more or Fornah if and when we are safe
