I do hope so, he makes Matt Grimes look useful.

Maybe its because he has been in that Chelsea fishbowl since he was 10, made him think he is better then he is.
What would Chelsea want him back for ?

Possibly to find another club where he may make regular appearances

He only made 11 appearances for Boro last season so what we saw in him, I don't know

I have a theory about this.

Radz said he had contacts at big clubs during his Wolves rant.

He signs 3 players from Chelsea cheap, if there successful he can say he was vindicated etc.

Unfortunately they havent been.

Also if Baker goes thats a 3rd signing we need to make as like Bielsa said with Saiz and Blackman the squads weaker, so if Baker goes he will want another replacement?

Not particularly bothered if he does go. I'd rather see Stevens, Nicell or McCalmont sat on the bench instead, they've look head and shoulders above him in the u23s. He's not as good as Chelsea think he is.

Hopefully Harrison goes as well and we can use those loan spaces for genuine quality.

That's the point SG

We have better young players of our own than the loan players we signed

What a total waste of time. effort & resources :(

I'll admit, I thought he'd be a good signing based on what I'd seen of him at Vitesse, but that's three Championship teams he hasn't impressed in us, Boro and the Wendies. Perhaps he's just not suited to English football, as I do think he has some talent. Maybe it's just attitude. I can't see another Championship wanting him, unless it's one of the struggling ones.
