January transfer window

No idea if Chillwell can stay fit but if we added him and Chukwuemeka that'd solve left back and AM or LW with Ndaiye moving inside.

Get Harrison and Young out of the team and replace with Patterson and Lindstrom and you suddenly have a completely different team going forwards.

[Bluedylan1]

We can’t really be signing a striker until at least 1 leaves we could have 4 fit shortly I think a winger and a ball playing midfielder would massively help

Agreed. Don't think we need a striker personally. It's the part leading upto the area that's involved with chance creation that's the major problem.

[AndSeel]

Love to get Chukwuemeka.

[The Doc]

Chilwell is brilliant. But looks like another classic Everton gamble on loan for injury prone player fail.

[Shogun]

Both of them would be class

[TheRam]

Go on big chucks

[Cozzie]

Be very happy.

Chilwell is always the obvious choice and an instant upgrade.

Broja is more or less nailed on to go back to Chelsea anyway so this makes sense

[Gash]

Broja's bound to go back so that should free up a loan. There's no point in keeping him on the off chance he's fit for the last handful of games.

[brap2]

Surely can't have 2 loans from 1 club?

[Trowel]

Chilwell's never been the same since that Sure advert. Was the same with Sterling advertising it before that. Has anyone checked our squad for excessive Sure activity?

[blueToffee]

Chukwuemeka would be great but linked to Dortmund isn't he? Seems unlikely if he has that option.

Reading comments on them and Chelsea fans like them both but just say neither can stay fit which has to be a concern/consideration for us. Showing up/being consistently fit is an underrated trait sometimes but pretty important for sides like ours with small budgets.

Loans between Premier League clubs and other English counterparts are officially called temporary transfers.

Under the rules in the Premier League Handbook 2024/25 (Download PDF, size: 18.2MB), there are restrictions on how many players Premier League clubs can loan from other Premier League/English clubs.

They are:
- Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.
- The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.
- Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.
- A Premier League club may loan not more than one of its goalkeepers to another Premier League club.

With the exception of Welsh clubs competing in the competitions listed under Rule V.6.2, loans from a club in membership of another National Association do not count towards the above quotas.

So we could only have one of Chilwell or Chukwuemeka by sending Broja back

[Shogun]

Chilly for me. Assuming he's fit and has been training somewhere, banished from their squad for refusing to leave isn't he?

Easier to find similar options to Chukwuemeka I think, much as I'd like him.

Loan Chillwell, buy Chukwuemeka - problem solved
