I used to be puzzled after I noticed Fabrizio Romano report that Carney Chukwuemeka has a £40m launch clause a month or so again.
Chelsea signed Carney for £20m from Aston Villa in the summertime of 2022, and two years on we seen little of him in pre-season but and I’ll be stunned if he even stays on the membership now this summer time.
I used to be very comfortable when Chelsea signed Carney as a result of he’s a participant I had been watching all summer time earlier than he got here to Chelsea and I used to be very impressed with him. I believed it was an honest signing.
However is he now about to turn into simply one other teenager we dumped £20m on but won’t ever truly be a Chelsea participant? I’d say spun for revenue however I can’t see any membership even paying £20m for him as a result of he’s barely featured for us. A wasted purchase? Appears to be like prefer it may very well be.
Perhaps the brand new head coach simply doesn’t fancy him? There may very well be a component to that. However for me he appears excellent for Enzo Maresca’s soccer, so it’s all very odd.
Carney began in our first two video games of the pre-season tour of USA however has not featured in any of the opposite three video games since. An indication that he’s simply not impressed Maresca? Perhaps.
Maybe Chelsea and Maresca will need to hold him within the squad as some rotation and canopy this season with all of the video games we will probably be taking part in. I can see that taking place.
However maybe a membership does are available in and set off his launch clause which once more, I can not fathom why we agreed to place that in his contract, I actually can’t. Perhaps they noticed a straightforward cash spinner with it? Who is aware of.
However both approach, even when he stays this season, I don’t suppose Carney will probably be at Chelsea for for much longer regardless, which is an actual disgrace as I fee him extremely.
When he hasn’t been injured for Chelsea final season he was typically our greatest attacking participant and essentially the most threatening. However all of that I simply see fading away now and on the human aspect, us losing the event of a participant who was approaching leaps and bounds when he joined Chelsea on the age of 19. Unhappy to see.
