Chelsea give Omari Kellyman transfer green light as Cardiff City move in:
Cardiff City have been handed a major boost in their bid to re-sign Omari Kellyman after Chelsea made the former loanee available for another loan.
Cardiff City have been handed a major boost in their hopes of bringing Omari Kellyman back to the club after Chelsea gave the green light for the youngster to leave on loan again.
The highly-rated attacking midfielder has been deemed available for another temporary move after travelling with Chelsea's first-team squad on their preseason tour of Australia and Asia.
Cardiff will quickly try to sort this out this week and negotiate what %of wage as Chelsea will expect the Bluebirds to contribute a big %.

The last 3 yrs 9/10 of his posts are bullshit or garbage
Chelsea’s are willing to loan him out, but that does not guarantee it’s us.

He knows more than anyone at the minute; he's the closest we've got to an ITK, although he has to toe the line and release it right near the end.

I disagree
He contradicts himself all the time.
I was reading his replies last week and he went back on a lot what he had put out the week before
He also totally exaggerates on the signings in the past and builds up crap players

100% correct

Fingers crossed for his return
Apart from Chopra I cant think of a player with more than one loan spell with us in consecutive seasons

It will tell us a lot if Kellyman chooses another Championship team over us ( which he has every right to do).
Personally, if we were gonna spend 8M on Dahl ( which I dont believe for a second) then the club should put their money where their mouth is and tempt Chelsea with a similar offer?
For me, thats the simple and easy way to boost season ticket sales. Its called ambition Vincent..and a way to capture imagination and build on a feel good factor.

This is good news.
Although the usual suspects on here will try to spin it

He was with us last year, knows the place, the players, the style and the management. He seemed to enjoy his time and I believe even went on holiday with some of the team. Everything is in our favour. Lets get this sorted immediately. If he is going on loan and he doesn't jump at the chance of coming back lets move on.

It could be very good news but as this decision has now been made this should definitely not need to drag on for another three weeks until the end of the transfer window.

Well it did last year, even though they knew on that occasion he was coming to us. We can't tell clubs like to authorise a loan immediately for any player or they just won't deal with it again. They are more powerful with us and can do things to their own timescale.

The main complication is that Kellyman reportedly prefers a loan abroad! We'll see.

I've heard people say that but there haven't actually been any conclusive reports saying it.

It came from Chelsea correspondent Bobby Vincent, who posted on X that Chelsea were considering sending Kellyman abroad and described that as the player’s preference. Hopefully not!

I am in the minority but I wasn’t that impressed with Kellyman. Had the odd moment and good game but…. I’d take him on load but he’s not a season changer.

If you're from London, surely we are abroad?

Can’t help but think if he wanted to return here we’d already have him.
Just like Dahl, I think he’s set his heart on elsewhere.

He was coming in off a serious injury but I was well impressed with him once he properly got going. 11 goals in 36 matches coming off an injury and not playing striker for the majority of the time is a good return.

Agree. Trott was sorted almost immediately and I highly doubt at any point Chelsea have seriously considered keeping him a part of the squad this season.

Then why hasn't he already gone somewhere else? If he was due to go somewhere else then he'd be there by now, going by what you've said there.

Have Chelsea got a couple of centre backs we could borrow.?

Would love a Micky Droy type of centrehalf. Bosh!

We could not do that jonny we would put the club in jeopardy.

Helped win promotion, especially when we lost Colwill at a key time; he's a good player and will get better IMO.

I agree. Also replaced Salech as a ‘false 9’. Definitely championship quality.

The usual response we expect from you.
The issue is you say "it's Tan's money and not mine so not my problem" and that's bollocks. Because spending outside the financial rules does put the club at risk, of course it does.

I'd love for Kellyman to come back here.
If I was him though, and I was genuinely serious about trying to break in to that Chelsea team, I'd go abroad and have a season in Germany or something just to broaden my experience.

Let's be honest, Kellyman has virtually zero chance of ever breaking into the Chelsea team. The only good reason for playing abroad is as you said to broaden his experience.
Hopefully he chooses us because I'd have him back in a flash. Can you imagine the damage him and Moylan would cause to opposing defences. We may not have a defence but we shouldn't be lacking goals, especially if Kellyman returns.

He will go to whatever the best club is that's even if we are in for him of course. Then it will boil down to loan fees and wages paid which is how it usually works. Last season he come because of one of BBM best mates when he was at man city but he's no longer there. Unless we are paying a loan fee what we that will be and whatever Chelsea want paid on his wages and if the player wants to come of course.
It only takes one of them 3 things that does not suit Chelsea and he's off elsewhere. Although we would all like him back it boils down to money BBM is given
