The examination of Armando Broja by the doctor who operated on him was closed yesterday.
The answer that came out from there remains a mystery, Ipswich is using it as an alibi to play under new conditions
Ipswich is using the fact that it is going towards the last hours of the market and Chelsea does not have much time..
Sounds like we are now in the position to leverage our interest in both Broja and Foster to get the best deal possible over the line.
A sellers market, may have become a buyers? |  |

I suspect that too, and think that Ashton may have Chelsea's ballbag firmly in his grasp as he smiles and tells them what they'll take! |  |

Chelsea/Maresca have made it very clear they have no use for him, and seemingly we are the only game in town for him (in terms of a permanent move away). It's brinkmanship but I don't hate it (although I worry that the Foster fee probably goes higher the close to the deadline). |  | | |

Good to know we have some savvy people at the helm and soothing to the minds of all the "we're panic buying" crowd. |  | | |

Just can't see how this gets done. Interesting the turn in the market but at the end of the day. We need someone in before Friday. |  |

Ideally, yes, but not just anyone. |  |

We're either loaning (with obligation to buy) someone who has an underlying injury which will keep him out between four and seven weeks at the very least or, should we survive, having to seemingly over pay for someone who didn't really make a mark in the top division last year.
Sorry if I'm part of the "we're panic buying" crowd who isn't completely soothed. |  |

This reads as If there isn't a fitness problem, which goes completely against out for 7 weeks story from yesterday?
Does look like we're in a strong position if we want to be! | | | |

I do wonder if we've presented that to Chelsea as a worst case scenario to drive the price down or avoid paying some of his wages and that the reality might be much less e.g 4 weeks as a more realistic worst case.
The issue seems to have been minor enough that Chelsea weren't aware of it so it can't have been too bad. | |

In Phil's article from yesterday.
 McKenna: Broja Discussions Ongoing 27th Aug 2024 10:33Town boss Kieran McKenna has confirmed that discussions are continuing regarding the loan signing of Chelsea striker Armando Broja.  38
"Regardless of any long-term issues, the injury is expected to keep the Albanian international out of action for around seven weeks." | |

Foster loan obligation to buy
Broja, £10 mill straight purchase, we'll fix him, gets him off chelsea books now |  |

Or not if there is no underlying injury - or we're looking elsewhere/renegotiating if there is. Who knows where the truth lies with these convoluted transfer sagas, lacking official comment? All these stories are fed to the press by someone with an agenda (or a desire for def info).
In any case, should Broja come to Town, he may prove to be exceptional in our system, under McKenna and by next May a bargain at £30m. |  |

Chelsea seem to be trying to pretend there's no issue to get the deal done as is. We're, presumably, trying to state it as highly as possible to get the deal reduced. |  | | |

I guess the Foster talks are to cover ourselves and possibly try and 'scare' Chelsea into lowering their demands, which makes sense. | |

Plus we’ve seen a lot of def info seeping onto here is cobblers. Wonder if any is orchestrated by the club at all. |  |

If he's out for 7 to 8 weeks, do we really want to take the risk especially as it uses up one of our loan spots and Hirst is going to be out for a similar amount of time.
Feels as though our thoughts are not firmly elsewhere? |  | | |

Let's wait and see.
Let's see who we buy and for how much.
Let's see how those new players do at the Club.
Let's see how we fare in the Premier League this year.
Only then will we know if those with concerns were justified in having them. | | | |

I don't think Chelsea overly care tbh, my mates a big Chelsea fan and he said they don't seem to care if those excess players sit out the squad and essentially rot, he seemed to believe they wouldn't let Broja leave until they had another striker in place and the whole injury story it just a false story. (Not quite sure what is true or false tbh)
Either way, it looks like Ipswich are trying to reduce the value somehow, so there must be something to it. Otherwise he would have been signed by now. |  | | |

You don’t tend to panic buy something you’ve wanted for ages.
You may eventually buy that thing because it’s only available for a limited period but it’s hardly then in a panic.
If anything we are using the window closing to get a much better deal for the thing we wanted. | | | |

It makes Bohely look even more naive to this game even more than has been on show so far. | | | |

I’ll bet they are. They want rid and the money too. I don’t blame them for that, but I certainly wouldn’t believe a word of what their medical team has to say.
It’s what our people say and what we want to pay. The money is in our pocket.
As far as I’m concerned, I don’t see Fulham knocking on the door to buy him. Why? Because he did zippo for them on loan last year. They’ve seen what he has to offer. Before we even get to the injury history, on that basis I’d leave him and Chelsea well alone. |  | | |

He is also linked with Brentford I believe if Toney moves on? |  |

Agree on the Fulham point and loan before that too.
Injury prone and not scoring enough to appear to justify £30m type price tag.
If McKenna wants him, we of course trust him but it appears an odd one with the list of issues appearing to grow.
Also, when you see Chiesa joining Liverpool for 'only' £13m it makes you wonder why we are even contemplating Broja at that price level [Post edited 28 Aug 2024 13:28]
