What on earth has just gone on !

Ricardo, woyo, aluko and Justin. That’s a lot of right backs

I guess it all boils down to how your parents work this. Are they in the Bellingham category of Brains or are they after a quick buck and not looking at the long term. You could arguably put him in that category already of potential as Jude. He seams to have that generational hype outside the club. So rack up 50 championship/prem games with us, quick few years somewhere in Europe and then your playing week in a Real Madrid earring life changing money for life. Personally I think the way Jude was managed should be a blue print for players/family's that genuinely have the determination to make it to the top 1%

Only decent option for us would be him signing for PSG or Barcelona, because correct me if I’m wrong he wouldn’t be able to move until he’s 18. Therefore getting a good few years service out of him before losing him for peanuts wouldn’t be the worst scenario?

Some goal that, brilliant from monga and king

I like him, has the old school essence of a central midfielder. None of this deep lying playmaker stuff. Just gets about, loves a tackle and can pass forwards

Just start him Sunday and offer 25k a week soon as we finish the game. Generational

No reason at all for braybrooke, monga, evans, aluko, Cartwright, Joesph and page not to get a few mins in the first team before the end. Would be criminal not too. I get it’s probably not the greatest environment to be in right now, but that experience would be vital for next season

Impressed with how Jake Evans defends and tracks back for someone his age. Top finish that too

Louis page called up to England u17, alves and Nelson in the elite squad

Bless akolbire seems to be in trial from Arsenal.

I assume Monga is away with England? Surprised no Louis page either

2-0 Jake Evans at the double

Louis page is in that category too. Rolls Royce midfielder for this level

Different class. Hope ruud is watching!

1-0 Jake Evans with a rocket!

Donohue, Aluko, Khela, Page, Diallo, Gray, Evans, Dyke, King, Monga, Omobolaji. Subs: Adedeji, Marson, Daniels, De Lisle, Kosiorek, Hutchinson, Owusu.

U18 in the fa youth cup live on Chelsea’s website. Need to sign up, but no charge.

Mentioned it before, but I know it won’t happen. Monga and Evans need to be involved. Not starting per se, but after bobby Reid gives it away for the 14th time after 50 mins, what else is there?

I’m all for Jeremy monga or Jake Evans taking that place on the bench. This is why we loose are best talent, because it’s never trusted. In a game we are expected to loose, why not give those 2 a cameo if the injury’s are as bad as reported. look at it from the players coming through point of view, why hang around if you going to play the likes of BDR who has been nothing short of criminal so far.

Out of these 3 it’s only stolarczyk. Who’s a decent keeper that’s not been given enough of a chance earlier on, but would be a solid champ keeper off what we have seen. the only one from those 3 that can still make it to a high level is johansson and he came on free from villa at 19 so not home grown. like bosworth, they have been at the club since very young and I can’t see them pushing on. GKs obviously develop slower, but both the keepers have had a lot of bread and butter saves going in at u21 level. the only one who seems to be rated that’s coming up is marsden and you could argue he’s technically not ours as he joined at 14

I’ve watched keepers at this level for a while, they won’t make the grade unfortunately. Young keepers coming though has always been an issue. Last one of note being Oliver bosworth. Touted as the next best thing, academy player of the season twice, England u20,s and now can’t get a game in tier 9.

Monga should be replacing bobby Reid if anyone had a clue what they were doing. Reid has offered absolutely nothing in the appearances he’s made, no doubt he’s on an enormous salary too. Reid will not be around in 18 months or sooner if cooper goes. Makes no sense not to have him on the bench if he’s showing this sort of level at his age in u21 we clearly need some improvement in the GK area in the youth. French and Basour are both very poor. I like Cartwright, proper throw back centre mid, loves a challenge and has a good passing range

Monga could certainly handle some mins in the first team, he will be off in June if we don’t
