If he's off to their B team I'd guess the purpose of the loan is to let Levante get a good look at him and to sign him in the summer if they like what they see

 

[Kiedis]

Valencia want him the hell away because he's deemed unprofessional. Can't see us go anywhere near his meme-making "loooool"ing ass.

Even if he is good at scoring goal, albeit a bit one dimensional.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Batshuayi is kinda crap, tbh. Once Kane's back he'd struggle for games.

He's a pretty good poacher I think, and is quick. The rest of his game is lacking but he's an interesting option if true.

I think if we took him it'd mainly be to try and progress through the Dortmund tie while Kane and Dele are out.

Could imagine DL trying to get him for a low fee knowing Chelsea want him out. Knowing a lower PL team offers more in the next season or two if we want him out.

Playing 2 up top gives more opportunities but he'd effectively be 3rd choice behind Kane and Son still. Plus huge question marks over wages.

Bats will be the ‘tried but failed’ & ‘too little time to conclude a deal’ player this window!

Kaziah Sterling to Sunderland for rest of the season according to The Sun. If true, makes you wonder why we didnt use him as a sweetener for Maja.

Maja only moved for £3.5M.

We would have gone for him if we hadn’t spent it all stocking the cheese room.

There's a very good chance Maja will get first team football at Bordeaux, none of their strikers are all that good. We probably weren't his preferred destination anyway.

Good move for sterling

Maja very likely wanted guaranteed playing time and we cannot offer him that while Bordeaux can. Smart move by him if that's the case.

Based off Herc's info, I'm thinking possibly Vertonghen or Lloris? Lloris looks past his best and we realistically should be looking to the future for a top keeper, Vertonghen more of a wildcard but he's only got a year and a half left on his contract is 'one you wouldn't expect'. He's also said on many occasions he wants to end his career back at Ajax.

Or maybe he actually wants to play football rather than arsing around in our U23s side for two years before he's loaned back to League One anyway?

 

[Blackrat1299]

Where are they sayjng it?

From the reporter freezing his bollocks of outside stamford bridge.

 

[The Lion]

Did the Sun actually just break a real story? Truly we've reached end times.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Mr. Levy, Batshuayi's agent is on line 1, do you want to take the call?

"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na"

 

[wrd]

Interested to see how Sterling gets on, great opportunity for him with their maja sized hole.

 

[Coco-1101]

Levy: Who is Levy?

My money is on Trippier; his family know my other half’s family rather well (his mum works in their local Londis, if anyone is ever passing through Bury and needs a pint of milk) and they’ve been adamant for a few months that he’s moving to Manchester.

Could be bollocks, of course, but ties in with Herc’s ITK.

 

[Vitur15]

It'll be interesting to see if Sterling ends up in that netflix documentary thing, I'm fairly sure they're filming Sunderland's season again

 

[Ben1]

Not to mention that Sunderland have tried to sign a whole load of strikers before doing this deal. I bet three weeks ago Sterling was a long way down the list.

I think it may be referring to Lamela and/or Moura.

He's signing for Salford City then?
