I would like to think that what has gone on at Chelski & places like Citeh ( over the last few years) where they have signed up so many lads who really wont ever play for them (as you say below) hopefully parents / agents will start to look beyond the short term (stars in their eyes signing for Chelski syndrome) & start to realise that their is a better opportunity for their up & coming teenager at a club that wants to develop & use academy product or just beyond academy in the first team Originally posted by Qwijibo
True, and saw this week Kenedy got a new contract and I think Bats too. They've no intention of ever using these players, but clearly it's good value for them to have them on their books getting rented out across the globe for ££££.

Wait and see what happens when Olise and Eze are back. Plus Hughes. Add a bit of RakySaky and Banks. Then maybe one day Ferguson. There is Luna to come back plus anyone else we sign. We've signed one of the young wizards from Harry Potter?

Connor played really well, his break up play in the middle was the closest we have come to replacing Cabaye. Are you reading this Wilf, he plays with a smile on his face…

He definitely showed great composure for the second goal but don't get too carried away. He only scored twice last year for WBA. Different players and Different roles,

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Gallagher and fans need to remain calm and performances will speak for themselves. We’ve seen us play really well for 2-3 matches and then get complacent and get embarrassed by teams below us. But Gallagher has pints to prove more than experienced loans, which is our new transfer strategy with permanent signings that aims to be sustainable.

I'd happily buy him a pint for every goal he scores here. He'll be a great influence to the rest of the team if he continues like this. Can't wait to see him link with Eze.

We should just enjoy the season he has with us. If he turns out to be a star player we won't be able to afford him. We have some exciting championship buys to hope for when they eventually come back from injuries. And we need to hope that Saki and Banks progress this season. I've never known the club to have such a rich vein of upcoming talent. Edited by Stirlingsays (29 Aug 2021 11.29am)

I think he would. I know how hard it is for young talent to break through at chelski but Conor is just the type of player that is in fashion in the premier League. I think a lot of comparisons will be made with Grealish and I will go out on a limb and say that, I could also see Southggate calling him up to an England squad, while he is here, providing of course that we can string some good mid-table results together As to whether we could sign him, I don't think so. He is here to prove himself and I think he will. He will love his time here and I'm sure this club will have a firm place in his heart once he has moved on but his price will run away from us... Good luck to the lad. Especially this season. He's got something about him. Not sure he would. In Kante, Jorghino and mount they have one of the best CMs in world football. Thats before you even get to Kovacic, Pulisic. A bit ridiculous really
