People need to realise with these as Lulau rumours we need two good players technically in this system otherwise Hazard won't benefit from it. That's why Morata and Sanchez would be better options than Lukaku and Sanchez because Morata has better link up play. I'd give Tammy Abraham a chance over Lukaku.

Any interest in Mendy Ed? Cracking player who would make a great wing back.

AntonioConteIsGod

{Ed002's Note - He was one of the players Chelsea spoke to Monaco about but it will likely go nowhere.}

Can't believe some people on here want to set a record when we have talented youngsters begging to impress. Ake, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek all need to play games. I'm telling you give it two years when Cahill gets dropped or leaves and there will be no English players in this team it will be absolutely embarrassing if we can't play them when we've won the league when can we play them. I love this team and I love Conte but ill never feel the same about any team as I did when we had English players winning titles. Terry, Cole and Lampard made me love Chelsea more and I can't believe people want to break a record and be greedy instead of giving our fantastic young talent a go.

We'd be better off just going to Spurs and signing Rose, Alli and Kane because they'll never get given a prolonged run with this fanbase.

It's not just us people on here who want to set a record, id bet conte does also, he did it at juve they won the league with a good few games to go and apparently he demanded they carried on and set an Italian record of points 102 points that season I think, just be happy we won the league after last season, the youngsters will have a chance to impress in preseason 2 months of training everyday and friendly matches if they really impress in those 2 months they could get a real chance next season if they don't take there chance, that's life, when the first team players are relaxing on the beach the youngsters should be doing extra training trying to force there way in, it has to be done on merit, everyday training not just because they are a certain age or homegrown, Quality over quantity!


2.) 14 May 2017 18:22:33
Cat, I can understand your prospective and there players within the squad who require games to get the medals they deserve.
We want to encourage our youngsters and let them know they have a chance of playing first team games for us!


3.) 14 May 2017 20:34:18
I don't disagree I just gave an alternative view, if it was up to me ake would already be a regular And next season christienson comes back to seriously chalange for a staring spot, I rate chalobah and baker, although I think rlc needs to run more, try harder when given the chance, and I actually agree we should field fringe players / youngsters for the remaining games, our biggest problem with bringing youngsters through is we never keep a manager for long enough, why would any manager want to play kids at Chelsea when he knows he's only ever a few defeats away from the sack, we have great youth probably the best youths in the world, what we need is a manager to stay for at least 5 seasons to steadily bring 1or 2 in every year, fingers crossed that manager is conte.


4.) 14 May 2017 23:21:37
I agree, loads of people are saying let the youth show what they can do during pre season, but that's not competitive like the premier League. Kenedy impressed me in pre season this year but look where he is now. We have an incredible youth system wth player and who could all get starting spots at different teams in the league, they just need to prove it. Ake proved it at Bournemouth and he is finally getting noticed as conte picked him over experienced Zouma for the fa cup game but he still needs to play in the pl for us. I'm hoping in the next few games we play mode of our youngsters not just a few as if we want to break a record, we should trust in them. And the next few games are against Watford and Sunderland so players like rlc chalobah aina Kenedy should all be given a chance.


5.) 15 May 2017 09:21:09
Kennedy impressed you in pre-season?! He played twice (in the very first two pre-season games for a grand total of 19 minutes! Anyhow, I digress. I'm hoping Conte will promote one or two or at the very least get some of the brightest Academy players (i. e. T. Chalobah, Mount, Sterling) featuring in pre-season matches and training. I can see Baker breaking through and hope Christensen sticks around too. More importantly, Conte needs to be backed by the club with whatever decisions he makes with regards to the players.


6.) 15 May 2017 09:37:32
Lewis Baker will be given every chance to be in the first team squad next year.
The best reports from all the players on loan, concern Lewis Baker.


7.) 15 May 2017 10:19:00
The way I look at it is not every player is going to be Leo messi, but we should look at the model Man Utd had in the 90s, not every player is going to be world class or starting 11 material, but they used there youth team to full out a squad with good homegrown players - Wes brown, John oshea, Johny Evans, Phil neveille, Nicky butt, linguard, ect ect, not all amazing but a decent premiership standard once called upon and reliable, we have our own players like this all homegrown the majority British which helps having a British base, I look at players like Ryan Bertrand a decent player who would have been a very good squad player, I think we should use chalobah, baker, RLC, Abraham, ake, zouma, Christenson, musonda, ect, the same way Utd use to use there squad, fringe players, and they would all be in less wages than signing a 26 year old squad player on 100 grand a week, and maybe just maybe 2/ 3 of them turn out to become really special, it's win win really, thicken the squad with a good standard of homegrown player, whilst hoping they turn out awesome, I would have no problem if we had 11 world class players starting and our whole bench was from the academy, to me that would be a success, they would be used they would be called upon they would be part of the team, and we might just get a giggs scholes or beckham.


 

 

13 May 2017 07:11:35
I'd personally keep Michy for next season after that goal. FairPlay to the lad he's hardly played all season hasn't moaned he's just got on with in what a fantastic attitude that lad has. If Costa leaves bring in Morata and let them fight it out to start. We'll be playing around 60 games next year so plenty of gametime for both.

04 May 2017 20:06:09
If we're going for a defensive midfielder from Monaco it should be Fabinho and not Bakayoko. Better on the ball and he's versatile exactly what Conte wants.

AntonioConteIsGod

{Ed001's Note - he is not very defensive, he is a stroller when it comes to getting back. He is one of those that would drive Conte mad when he saunters back 20mins late. Great ability on the ball, good positionally when he is back, but he won't chase back even if an attacker is right in front of him.}


1.) 04 May 2017 21:12:06
What's your opinion on Bakayoko, Ed001? If I may ask :)

{Ed001's Note - I quite like him to be honest, though he was poor last night. Still raw but the potential is there to be class, I think. He is one of those that will always look awkward but I like what I have seen. There is a real player there, and I can see why you are targeting his signature.}


2.) 04 May 2017 22:07:29
I'm not disagreeing with you Ed, but I do think we have ready made youngsters who can fill these roles. Chalobah has spent his time out On Loan and he now needs to be given the chance with a run in the first team.

{Ed001's Note - now that we defo agree on! I hate to see clubs go out and buy when they have quality youngsters already there. Chelsea have got a wealth of excellent youngsters, all they need is a bit of faith shown in them.}


3.) 04 May 2017 22:14:58
Nice one. Harry Kane went on about four terrible loans before Spurs had no other chance to put him in then three years later he's probably the best all round striker in the league. Ray Wilkins interview was spot on if you've listened to it about Chelsea and other youth players.

{Ed001's Note - there are so many players just crying out for a chance it would be a shame if none of them get it. Another example is Rashford, United didn't even have him in the running at all, even when they had an injury crisis. Ashley Fletcher was meant to play but got injured or sick, I forget what happened now, but it was a last resort desperation thing to throw Rashford in to the team.}


4.) 04 May 2017 22:17:25
Kante, Bakayoko, Chalobah and Matic/ Fabregas next season? That looks like a pretty strong midfield rotation.

Thanks for the input, Ed, much appreciated. I too thought he wasn't impressive last night. But he looks physically imposing and at times he shows flashes of some tidy feet. The only thing I hope is that his passing is decent enough. We need a little offensive output from our CMs.

{Ed001's Note - when I have seen him in the past (I say past like it is 20 years ago, but I mean previous games this season) he looked to have a good range of passing. Not Fabregas level, but he breaks sweat in a match unlike Fabregas and helps out defensively.}


5.) 04 May 2017 22:41:10
Yeah it's terrible. Personally think there should be a rule in every country where you need to field at least three homegrown players. It's the reason England aren't what they used to be on the international scene.

{Ed001's Note - the problem is that most clubs do not have 3 homegrown players that are anywhere near good enough and it would just increase the price on the couple of good ones around.}


6.) 04 May 2017 22:48:15
Abraham, Christensen, Ake, RLC, Chalobah, Traore, Musonda and Baker are all guys that could probably perform squad roles right now. I don't see how they're less talented than a guy like Rashford for example. Even guys like Tomori, Palmer and Izzy Brown are really really talented. Tomori had no trouble keeping Rashford quiet when they went up against each other in youth/ reserves games.

Obviously not all of them can play for our first team. You can't have a squad made out of 10 youngsters. But it'd be a damn shame if none of them could become regulars.

{Ed001's Note - Christensen stands out for me as ready for regular first team football.}


7.) 05 May 2017 05:57:46
Ake has impressed me most this season so good on the ball and more importantly he loves getting stuck in. Think Baker would be so much better around better players.

{Ed001's Note - have you seen much of the other Chalobah? (Is it Trevor?) Only I have heard a lot about him and how he is potentially better than his brother.}


8.) 05 May 2017 07:01:26
I've heard he's meant to be quality and that came from a Man City season ticket holder who I work with who watches youth games too. Says he's one of the best youngsters he's ever seen. He also thinks Dujon Sterling could make a cracking wing back also.

We have amazing talent even with the next group coming through like Mount, Ugbo, T. Chalobah and Sterling I just think we need to concentrate on Christensen, Ake, Chalobah and Baker next year as they are closest. A year On Loan for Loftus-Cheek and Abraham and I think they'll be ready also.

{Ed001's Note - Sterling is supposed to be excellent, Ed003 raved about him.}


9.) 05 May 2017 07:12:19
It's unreal how much talent we have. But I'd honestly prefer not to see us win youth cups if it meant getting them in the first team 😂Loftus-Cheek still excites me the most. Fantastic talent just don't know whether he will ever have the work rate to establish himself. Nice one for the info Ed.

{Ed001's Note - Loftus-Cheek I think is one that will have to leave sadly. He has been held back too long, in my opinion. A shame but there are so many coming through, you have to establish yourself early or there is another youngster there that needs the games.}


10.) 05 May 2017 07:47:35
Think the hunger for succeeding is the only thing that will help these young players break through. Unfortunately I only see Baker, Abraham and Ake with the main chance.


11.) 05 May 2017 07:48:37
On that we agree again, Ed001. Christensen has to be deemed ready right now. Bundesliga Team of the Season in his first real professional season, CL experience against top quality opposition and simply an excellent defender. He's great on the ball as well, which is a superb quality to have in our 343.

And Nate's younger brother is named Trevoh. From what I've seen and heard, Trevoh is going to be a beast defender.

{Ed001's Note - I really really like Christensen, if it had been up to me I would have had him in the squad this season, as the cover/rotation option, rather than having to drag Ake back from loan. However, I am sure the loan year did him good, so long term it could turn out to be the right move. It has messed Ake about a fair bit though.

Cheers, I knew it was something like that. Though a few youth coaches have said to me he could end up in midfield, like his brother.}


12.) 05 May 2017 09:29:03
It'd be funny if both Chalobahs would end up playing defense throughout their youth careers, but end up in midfield anyway. Trevoh just seems so imposing, yet comfortable in possession. I think he could become a very good CB. Obviously he's still one of the younger generations so anything could happen. Trevoh, and as you said, Dujon Sterling are ridiculous prospects. Those 2 along with Castillo and apparently Mount (by some regarded as the best talent in the academy) are the cream of the crop right now as far as I know. Dujon could fit ideally in a wingback role with his speed and complete game. He's a willing defender and attacker and I hope Conte works with him in the upcoming years.

I think Christensen stayed at Gladbach because it's not positive for the club if they start cutting short loans all the time. It gives less incentive to clubs to play our loanees if they know that we'll recall our boys when they start to do well. I hope he stays at the club next season though, but with Ed002's comments that doesn't seem like it's certain.

{Ed001's Note - true, but I think the club will come to regret not bringing back Christensen and getting him integrated into the first team.}


13.) 05 May 2017 12:57:56
Yup, I'm pretty sure we'd end up regretting letting him leave. If he wasn't ours already we'd probably see reports of clubs (ourself included) being interested and bidding 40m or something.
If we sell Christensen this summer and buy Van Dijk for big money I might cry. He's good, but not crazy good. I'd much rather use AC and spend the money elsewhere.


 

 

03 May 2017 21:09:06
Bakayoko has had a great season but he's been playing in a poor division. I've watched him in two games this season. Tonight vs Juve and against Spain in and international and he's been terrible in both.

This is the exact reason youth doesn't get a chance why spend 30 million on him? Chalobah and Loftus Cheek are better players. And Matic is twice as good. A lot of people slating Matic saying we need a better player but he does the simple things really well.

AntonioConteIsGod

1.) 03 May 2017 22:39:17
I suppose scouts have seen him play a hat full of times and obviously the type of money that is being talked about he must be in some way decent. I will say iv only seen him play 3 times so wouldn't really like to make judgment. From what I have seen though I like the look off. I was alway Matic's biggest fan and my God how good was he when he first come back, he does the basics good but has not really reached that form and I'm slightly unconvinced by him for the future, have to love the guy though.


2.) 03 May 2017 23:26:26
bakayoko is a great talent but I can see why people are questioning what he brings. He didn't play wel tonight or against Spain but those are the only game you have seen. Against Man City he was excellent and he had a good game against bvb as well. I think he is at the same level as Matic, though slightly inexperienced but remember he's only 22 and can only improve. Rlc and chalobah are great players who deserves more games to prove themselves and no doubt if they were in the first team somewhere else, the big clubs would be willing to spend big bucks for them as well but they are more attack minded players like fab. Bakayoko is more like Matic which suits our current formation.


3.) 04 May 2017 01:44:14
You think Chalobah is more attack minded than Bakayoko? More defensive if anything. I think Chalobah is better on the ball than Bakayoko he also has a better shot on him. That's why there's no point in wasting money on Bakayoko when we've got a ready made player in Chalobah.


 

 

03 May 2017 19:42:27
Traore doing well as Ajax. I don't see why we signed Michy when we have Traore. Think if Michy leaves Traore could do the job as a number 9. Always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

AntonioConteIsGod

1.) 03 May 2017 22:41:33
Couldn't agree more Traore should never have been loaned out then that sort of money spent on michy. Although I must admit I did expect a lot lot more from Michy. Safe to say he's gone at then end of the season. On loan I would imagine then sold at a fraction of what we paid the following one.

I also prefer to defensive midfielders so our attacking front in two can roam around a bit and cause havoc. And with balanced direct wing backs we will cause problems. But I also would prefer Tolisso over Bakayoko. Better passer, good work rate and a fantastic long range shot. But i would play Challenging over both he's developed looked good when called upon now let's stick him in and see how he does.

Wouldn't play Nathan he has no future here.

It should be:

Courtois (He wants the golden glove)

Zouma Terry Ake

Aina Fabregas Chalobah Kenedy

Willian Batshuayi RLC

SUBS:

Begovic, T. Chalobah, Sterling, Kante, Mount, Hazard, Costa

Wouldn't give Solanke a go if he doesn't want to be here either.
