[Pliskin]

Send him back, wasting a place on the bench…..

Ok Ayew and Daka now have 4 now.

[Ric Flair]

It's been quite telling he's not come on now for a number of games and is probably only on the bench because of injuries. Ayew can't play 90 minutes every game and Cifuentes has not given Evans a single minute yet so it's surprising that Carranza has been allowed to go further cold when we might now need him.

 

This all points to him going back in January, probably straight to the MLS as its not really worked out for him in Europe.

I think it best for both parties.

 

CF part of the sqaud is in for a massive overhaul with currently only Evans contracted past the summer.

50% pens?

 

[brookfox]

Warning signs were there when nobody seemed to know how tall he was!

 

Scouting department: "Great news, we've found the perfect striker that matches the profile you were looking for boss"

Marti: "Great, is it the tall powerful target man or the short low center of gravity fox in the box?"
Scouting department: "Yes"

Looking forward to when the January window closes and he is still here because Rudkin forgot to include a terminate loan clause again

Not sure that we can send him back. Could be another Edouard situation. We never learn.

Like the Edouard situation in what way?  That we don't want him?

Aside from that it's nowhere near as bad as the Ed fiasco.  Carranza hasn't played for Feyenoord this season so he's not locked out of a loan move to a different European club like Edouard was, and we're also not limited to 2 loans like we were last season so Carranzas presence isn't blocking us from bringing in another loanee, finances aside.

 

Would be great if he surprised us all and scored a few goals in the next few games, but he'll probably not see grass.

[ozvaldo]

We essentially signed this bag of shit to use him in some low budget Christmas campaign photoshoots. 
 

And now we’ll be replacing him with a bloke who couldn’t walk at the start of the year.  That’s how shit Carranza is.

Fully what I expect to happen.

[Fox92]

It was quite obvious from his goalscoring record that was he was going to be a terrible signing.

With Afcon due to start in 21st of December we are probably going to need him over the next few weeks.

I'd genuinely rather have give Evans a chance at this stage. The net output can't be worse

Ayew has scored a goal in each of his last two matches and should have in the last three if it wasn't wrongfully disallowed for offside 

[Big_Nige]

I wonder if he’s stuck on 9 games because there’s a clause that if he plays 10 it triggers his loan meaning we have to keep till the end of the season. Either that or he’s doggo. Properly just doggo
 

On a side note, here’s AI’s overview of JC

 

Julián Carranza is an Argentine striker on loan at Leicester City (LCFC)from Feyenoord for the 2025/26 season, known for his pressing, link-up play, and goal-scoring ability in the EFL Championship, making significant appearances and contributing to the team's attacking efforts with runs in behind and outside the box shots

 

[Pliskin]

This was clearly an agent doing, a “you need his type of player, I have just the lad”…..

 

He’s clearly won a competition from a box of coco pops to be here. 

[MPH]

A complete Mike Bassett type of signing.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Did anyone from the club watch him play? Can’t believe they did and if someone did then they need sacking.

Well it was obvious to me and obvious to you but not so obvious to those absolutely buzzing on here and giving that window 8 out of tens. 

 

Apparently, you can't use a players career to date as any kind of guide to how he might be expected to perform until he has 'kicked a ball for us' as there is every chance that he might  metamorphose from being the most mediocre of journeyman into Marco Van Basten, just by pulling on a blue shirt. 

[Ian Nacho]

Get him gone in January with a view of getting another loan in.

Hopefully it wasn't a year long contract. I don't trust Rudkin not to f**k it up.

Someone on here mentioned his underwhelming YouTube 'highlights' at the time of signature and took a look myself. It was patently obvious he was not up to it, after just a cursory glance at that video

Okazaki, Ulloa, Nugent?

 

So a decade ago....

Well it was a good window. We managed to get rid of a lot of players and bring in some useful loanees.

 

Best window we've had in years really.
