Carney Chukweumeka deal agreed on the official club site!
Well that came out of nowhere, supposed to be a huge talent and was wanted by a lot of clubs .
Do you know if he's for the first team Ed? I only ask as he was getting quite a lot of first team game time at Villa .

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea opted for CC after losing out on Aurelien Tchouameni to Real Madrid but he is perhaps less defensive. It was driven by the advise of an ex-player. He will be eased in to the first team squad.}

Or simply Barcelona showed interest in him.

Thanks Ed, very interesting comments.

He has always looked more offensive than defensive to me but I freely admit to not seeing a lot of him.

He does look a talent.

Very interesting Ed, looking foward to seeing him play this season. Thank you for the reply.

Does the signing of CC end the interest in the other CC - Cesare Casadei?

{Ed002's Note - It is unrelated.}

A really exciting signing. The boy is a proper talent from what I've seen of him. At the Euros this summer he was by far and away the best player on the pitch in every England game I watched.

Ed002, can I ask if this was the potential wildcard signing you mentioned in a post a week or two ago? Also, back in June you seemed quite sure he wasn't moving to Chelsea – at the time was the club's interest not declared, or apparent? Or was it more that he seemed nailed on to move to Barca?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have made efforts over a couple of different players (including CC) in the past 10 days.}
