Ruben loftus-Cheek on loan?

[Grovesyg]

Just seen the London evening standard has reported we may be getting Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan

Not a position we are short in but surely too good to turn down!

Depends on his attitude really (if it's true).

Am told by a Chelsea supporting friend that Conte has played him as a striker this season, albeit only in a couple of cup games. If he can work there he could be useful as a flexible option who can work multiple roles.

Can't fit all that on my new away shirt.
So its a no from me

 

[Rugrat]

Would be surprised if Chelsea let him come to us just to warm bench, and surely too risky to be starting?

 

[Two Professors]

Need proven players,not somebody else's cast-offs.No thanks.

 

[perseus]

With a name like that should go to QPR

Oi, we've all seen your builders (plumbers) arse, get it written on your new away shorts. The cheek of it.

 

[Grovesyg]

Similar to my thought, he can't be expected to get game time week in, week out. I can't see this happening because I'm not even sure what position we'd be wanting him to play in, if not dictated by Chelsea.

 

[Seaber]

I reckon he'd be used as competition to Baldock, similar to how Pritchard was probably intended to be used.

As someone said above, he's been used as a forward at Chelsea and has been moved from CM to CAM on FIFA. We aren't in desperate need of any other CMs with the three we have an Kayal coming back soon, although he'd be useful there is we did get injuries or suspensions.

Here we go loftus cheek is no good we need an older proven player. Frank is too experienced and too old.

 

[Wozza]

Will surely only come if guaranteed to start - and surely that wouldn't be great for team morale?

 

[Dr. No]

No.

Barber has been asked that question and has made 100% clear that we have never agreed to a loan deal with any guarantee of selection. The only pressure to play the loanee is financial. He explained that such deals (Prem starlet to smaller club) are structured such that if you do play them the parent club will cover (some of) the wages, as they are pleased they are getting the games. If you don't play them you end up paying more or all of their (ridiculous) wages.

 

[glasfryn]

do we really need him







its a NO from me

 

[HCxUK]

I take it everyone who is saying no has never seen him play? Would be a great loan signing, watched him play for England Under 21's and he's got a decent shot and a great pass, not slow either considering his size

"I like him a lot in the position of striker," said Conte after that display. "In this system, with two midfielders, Ruben can play close to the other forward but become a forward when we have the ball."
