Crap season at Chelsea. Can't even get a game when Costa's had his head turned...BUT: A decent option on loan? I doubt Conte is suddenly going to use him as his starting striker when Costa leaves, and I think he'd get a lot of minutes here. (inb4 "BOOOO why should be develop Chelsea's players?")
Wages would be the main sticking point, and whilst he's not getting game-time at Chelsea he's their main backup so would be unlikely to let him leave. Would much rather take a gamble on Tammy Abraham on loan as I imagine Chelsea will be wanting PL football for him next season.
We are now established in the PL, from now on I would rather not take any loans unless either they were with a view to a permanent deal (i.e. Niang & Cleverley) or they came from Udinese.
Too late? It's just begun - we've got several years of Pickford suggestions ahead of us. Pick(Wat)ford.
No chance but would love to have him here. As a general rule I'd rather not have loans, but for his level of quality I'd say yes.
