Whilst I don't disagree in principle: Connor is a Chelsea boy, he's been there his whole life, it will take a lot to walk away from that, always wondering if he could have made it. Others have done it, Chelsea have quite a few young English lads in and around the first team. He has consistently stepped up over the last couple of seasons, most recently getting MOTM for England. Why would he feel like he couldn't make the step up again Sensible, and I do agree with a lot of what you say. I think an awful lot depends on what happens with Chelsea's takeover and the ramifications it has on their budget, manager, and planning for next season. Given their strength in depth, though, it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that they may think one more year at Selhurst might not be the worst thing for Connor and accept that if they're not planning to play him extensively next season, playing every week for Palace for another twelve months may leave them with a better player in the end than having an occasional runout off the bench for Chelsea. We can all hope. And he's certainly happy here so I think Connor would settle for that if he knew he had a future at Chelsea to play for in the mid- to long term.

Agree, it is the best all round solution.

My Chelsea mates all think that Gallagher will get the opportunity to replace Kante next season.

Loftus-Cheek wasn't much cop yesterday against the mighty Brentford. Will someone please get real, he is on 150k a week at Chelsea, Gallagher will go back to Chelsea, our midfield will be Eze in front of two of Kouyate, Hughes, Sclupp, Olise will take Ezes place if he is injured and Rak-Sakyi would take Olises place, Nketiah will come in, Wilf will sign a new contract, And Benteke will disappear in the Bermuda triangle,

I suspect he'll get cup game opportunities if he proves himself in pre-season Nketiah will come in, Wilf will sign a new contract, And Benteke will disappear in the Bermuda triangle, Edited by doombear (03 Apr 2022 10.24am) Edited by doombear (03 Apr 2022 10.31am) Edited by doombear (03 Apr 2022 10.32am)
