Chong , keep or sell
Posted by Toast on 10/8/2025, 8:19:51
So where does Chong fit, are we getting him fit to sell for peanuts. We won't get much for him.
Surely keeping him is a massive bonus even on the wages. He is a proper player I hope we keep him and he smashes L1 , given Ali can play either wing it seems , him and Chong will be extremely useful if he adapts to the newer system in l1
As a player, I'm still undecided. But the fact he posts pictures of himself in women's clothing on social media is enough reason to pay up his contract and get rid. Immediately.
I'm looking at his Instagram right now and I don't see any pictures of him in women's clothing. But even if he were wearing women's clothing, why exactly would that be a reason to "get rid immediately"?COYH
Yeah that's the benefit - you pay him like 12 weeks wages (for example) as a severence. But no one has suggested that - people think we should pay up the remainder.
Again, he has value though. There's no value in terminating his contract.
I think we should sell him when fit. I don't think he has the physicality for this division. I can't see where he would play, he is not a wing back, too lightweight for midfield in this division and we have better options for the 10 role. He has great ability on the ball but is a passenger without it MB is running a very disciplined side so can't see him putting up with his concentration lapses. The journey leads you to the answers..

Seen nothing in his time with us to suggest he is worth keeping
I think we should get rid, but to suggest he's offered nothing is unfair, far-fetched, and inaccurate. Live justly, love mercy, perpetuate generosity, walk humbly.
We don't know exactly how much he is on. But, as I've always said, I don't think he's worth keeping as I don't think he offers value for money in the position that we are currently in. That, IMO, is not the same thing as suggesting that nothing in his time with us to suggest he is worth keeping which is what you originally said. Live justly, love mercy, perpetuate generosity, walk humbly.
He scored more than once in the PL. But also, as others have stated, he has provided an outlet and wins helpful free kicks.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not his greatest fan and think he's not what we need now and hasn't lived up to his potential but he has contributed something. Live justly, love mercy, perpetuate generosity, walk humbly.

We may not have any choice. Who will take him on if he is injured? It might be a good thing if we can’t offload him by the window closure as he ought to tear this league up and would need to show it if he wants to put himself in the shop window for January.
If he’s motivated to stay, keep. He’s got a creativity that, Alli and Jones apart, we don’t currently have. Let’s never pretend he’s a full-back again, but at worst he’s an excellent impact sub option. At best, he’s the player who ruined the Championship during his Birmingham loan spell.
I think most who objected did so beforehand and then were only able to see what they wanted to.
Playing Burke at wing-back was more offensive to me. To do so on his return from injury was fucking atrocious. Yet people seem more bothered about Chong, which is just a bit weird.
The Birmingham game was bit of an outlier. It was one of the first times NJ had switched to a back three and our midfield that day looked lost. Chong had so much room to play in it was untrue.
We also made their little ginger holding midfielder look like Pirlo.
I get your point about an impact sub but I'd guess he is one of our highest earners so it seems a bit of a luxury I doubt we can afford.
He was playing consistently like that for Birmingham at that time. Quite where that player has gone from week to week is another question, but he’s in there. And as is mentioned below, he’s great at buying fouls when preserving a lead. None of it adds up to the wages he’s on, but if we can’t offload Chong and he wants to give it a proper go, he’s got enough that’s different about him to be worth a few points.
If it’s a choice between keeping him or cancelling his contract to get his wages off, I think it has to be keep, surely? Given his injuries and form after them, I think it’s a tougher choice with Nakamba, sadly.
Oh yes, I doubt we could get a good deal out of him to cancel it. All I was saying is that if we don't feel he's likely to contribute at a pretty good level then selling him cheap may well be our only option.
Nakamba is genuinely sad, a real tryer, no shirker in any sense, but he's had awful luck with injuries. If he can come back to his best though we have a hell of a player but again, can we afford to keep him?
I'm guessing that more than one of the millions we are not "spending" is covering this very point.
I’d guess differently on the latter point. I’m not in the £40m parachute payment = £40m transfer fund camp. But I do think it covers eventualities like Chong and Nakamba where a club is lumbered with a seemingly unsalable high earner. I do think a surplus in transfer fees earned this summer is essentially unreasonable, given the size of the squad overhaul needed.
Look at his stats. He's nearly 26 so hardly starting his career. What so far makes you think he can smash anything? It was a gamble, worth a go, time to say goodbye and let him rattle around European leagues that aren't physical or running centric.--------------- One mental rabbit, there's only one mental rabbit
He's a natural on the ball but poor off it. A sub at Cornick o'clock to get that vital goal or set it up is the best I see him featuring. Mr J.C. Lomax having been called upon to give his opinion upon the proposed formation of a Town Club, said he was most emphatically in favour of a proposed Luton Town Football Club - 11th April 1885
Like a few others we've signed at times, can receive the ball and run with it (which looks good and is a crowd pleaser) but rarely manages to finish the run off with a good pass/cross/shot . . . although drawing a free kick in the opposition half can be handy.
Not required IMO. Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened. Terry Pratchett
So far alis end product had been no better I would prefer to keep him if he's motivated given he offers something to the squad still. Perhaps why we haven't signed another winger
