2023/24 Youssef Chermiti

[Cake]

He has got to get fit. Then he has to get PL fit. Then he has to get Dyche fit. He’s 19 we don’t want to wear him out before he’s 20…

 

[Nymzee]

If he's not playing for U21's tomorrow and not on the bench Saturday well... what's even the point.

Agree, he should at least make the bench this week. Not as if we're loaded with attacking talent.

 

[PhilM]

Dyche has shown he won't really give youth a fair crack of the whip. We've paid out on the lad and the only way he can either help us win matches or flip him for a profit is if he plays.

I'd imagine he will start in the cup though, so just got to hope he makes a huge impression on us all.

Thelwell has bought Chermiti as a player to develop and nurture into a decent forward over time, rather than throw into the starting XI right now.

It's not a case of Dyche not wanting him, but rather a case of Dyche needing a capable centre forward now, which is also what the fans are clambering for.

Cherms was 100% brought in without the knowledge of Shawn Diche.

I am very happy we are making signings like this. It is our best hope of rebuilding a team over a few seasons. We need to let the player settle and that will take time.

However, given that our financial situation seems dire it does seem like an unusual signing.
I can only imagine the down payment was tiny.

Not even like the 21s have a striker. If we want to break him in slowly he should be starting there

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Bit of a weird tetchy presser from Dyche in particular in relation to this lad. Why not just answer this question, it’s not a state secret.

Because we won't like the answer I imagine

I understand but if you don't play him is he ever going to get better? I don't think he should start games but if we need a goal in a game or if we ever get a comfortable lead again he should be brought on but I don't think he'll even get that with Dyche.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Still no sign of him in the latest training gallery which suggests he’s not even training with the first team?

Wear him out its fine. If he is any good he will go elsewhere anyway and the burn out will be someone elses problem.

Same with Branthwaite.

It was a bit tetchy but also weak questions.

Just ask if Chermiti is going to feature this weekend or something, not vague questions and then drop your arse when Dyche doesn't really answer you

Chermiti is one for the future. Don’t expect any first team appearances for a while.

He played 16 times for Sporting Lisbon last season, a team far better than ours, why can't he play for us when our only fit centre forward is Neal Maupay?

Totally agree. Chermiti should be starting tomorrow!
