Andrey Santos is a prime younger participant who has not too long ago turned 21. At that age, he must play. The mortgage developments for me ought to now be over, and he wants to determine himself at a membership for a sustained interval.
Can we count on such a gifted 21-year-old to be a deep backup participant at any membership? No, we are able to’t. And that’s the reason I can solely see him transferring on this summer season. He’s not just a few younger expertise, he’s an enormous prospect with SO a lot expertise already.
Santos and his camp are decided for him to be enjoying as a daily starter this season. However at Chelsea, he wont get that except Enzo Fernandez is bought, or there’s a massive harm to considered one of our beginning midfielders. Santos will not be going to be beginning forward of Moises Caicedo, Fernandez, Romeo Lavia or Cole Palmer. And he’ll see and know this and I can solely see his camp asking for a transfer.
Some will say that at a giant membership like Chelsea then you must again your self and count on competitors. And I get that and do agree. Nevertheless, when your competitors is 2 gamers who price over £100m and Lavia who everyone knows is unbelievable when he stays match, then it’s not simply one other regular scenario the place he must compete. Chelsea, or Enzo Maresca, are usually not going to be frequently benching any of their midfielders to permit Santos to compete.
I’m very upset that Santos hasn’t had a single minute within the Membership World Cup but although, and don’t anybody inform me about some authorized paperwork that golf equipment signed to play their strongest Xl. Even when that’s the case, it’s hardly stopping Santos approaching as a sub and getting a run out, is it? And who ‘polices’ such a factor anyway? Who’s to say that Maresca’s strongest Xl on that day doesn’t embrace Santos? Perhaps Santos is the fittest and least fatigued participant out there therefore making him our strongest choice? Not shopping for any of that nonsense, sorry.
Santos has been an unused sub in each video games thus far. Who’s telling me that he couldn’t have come on in opposition to LAFC only for some minutes? It could ship a message to say he a minimum of has an opportunity to point out what he can do fairly than saying we don’t belief you over any of our different midfield choices proper now.
I’d not be in any respect shocked now if Santos is bought. We now have at all times heard that the membership have deliberate for him within the squad for subsequent season, however on the identical time, the desire of the participant will are available in to play. I feel Chelsea would promote him if his camp say they’re sad and wish extra ensures.
I feel it may simply be a kind of conditions the place it is likely to be higher for each events to half methods and it simply is what it’s. I really like Santos and suppose he’s an incredible participant, and as I say, I’m upset that he hasn’t had any CWC minutes but (nonetheless an opportunity I suppose).
It’s straightforward for folks to take a seat on the skin and inform a 21-year-old to only be affected person, however he’s carried out and proven sufficient in two mortgage strikes and deserves to be enjoying as a daily someplace this season. Why would he stunt his improvement and go backwards by not enjoying video games?
I don’t blame the membership for purchasing choices for deep midfield cowl, we wanted it with accidents and extra video games coming subsequent season. It’s good to have a giant squad. However not all gamers are going to be content material as a backup participant and being instructed to combat for a spot. I feel that is another excuse why you shouldn’t fill a squad with younger prospects. It’s a wonderful balancing act the place younger gamers have to play to develop. You possibly can’t count on all of them to only sit the bench week after week.
Santos is at a stage the place he must play frequently, and he’s not getting that at Chelsea, is he?
It’s a disappointing scenario however actually, it’s simply considered one of them the place it’s irritating however you possibly can’t actually pin an excessive amount of blame wherever and I can see all sides of this story. However I fully get the frustrations of not seeing him thus far on the CWC.
