What's new

Hudson Odoi

This is exactly my fear regarding CHO, but I still feel that he would be better off adopting Ethan Amapadu's example and waiting, watching and learning while taking small steps on his way to becoming an established member of the first team squad, but as you say there is always the chance that he may opt to move on, whether or not it's at a club with the size and stature of Chelsea remains to be seen. I just hope he realises what an opportunity he has to learn his trade at one of the worlds elite clubs and decides to show a little patience as I feel he looks to be one of the true gems to have come out of Cobham, and he's a SW London boy which gives me a great deal of pride.

The trouble is these days many of the youngsters want it NOW. To be fair you can understand that. If they see other players at other clubs that they feel aren't as good as them but already playing regularly and perhaps earning more, they are going to feel hard done by. This is where it comes down to the club and coaching staff who you would hope are telling them all the right things - be patient, we do rate you, you WILL get a chance and become a first team squad regular. So difficult, as we have seen dozens of very good prospects since the Youth Team starting winning the FA Youth cup but realistically, as good as some of these were, the club know only a fraction will make it at Chelsea and they just have to go through the motions and try and develop them best they can. 

I still have hopes for RLC, CHO, Ampadu, Abraham, Mount and maybe even Billy Gilmour. Probably a bit optimistic for 6 players all to be first team squad regulars but if 3-4 can make it then that's not a bad return (+ the young keeper looks decent too).

I would love so much for this to be our starting line up one day. Even if for only 1 game.

-------------- Kepa -------------

Azpi - Rudiger - Christensen - Alonso

------------- Ampadu -----------?--

---- Mount ---- Loftus-Cheek ----

Hudson Odoi -- Abraham---- Hazard?

You could even put Ampadu in place of Rudiger and get Kante into midfield. That would be 6 home grown players in the starting line up. It will never happen, but i'd love to see it..

Definitely has the potential in a few years... Also crazy to think that Hazard would be one of the oldest players there

So Skysports also reporting the story now too.

"Bayern Munich have offered £13.5m plus add-ons for Callum Hudson-Odoi but Chelsea want at least £22.5m, Sky sources understand."

The fact that we are stating at least £22.5m if that is true shows that the club realistically have accepted he will not sign a new contract. There should be a standard, 'NOT FOR SALE', but yeah the club will sell him in the summer if he refuses to sign a new contract. Jadon Sancho situation arising I can see, albeit it, we had much more inclination than City to play CHO than they did Sancho and we didn't use him. Seems now that Sarri used him against Watford. Maybe because the club realise the situation but too little too late imo.

 
Sadly I think we've screwed the pooch on this one.

Kid wants to leave and Bayern is a fantastic opportunity for him with Robben and Ribery pushing 35/36; realistically the longer we hold on to him the less money we recoup with his contract situation.

No smoke without fire. What a shame another promising young prospect about to go. Get ready to move his thread to the following our exs area and for us to be bitten on the behind ala salah in a few years. Ampadu next? RLC?

why not send him on a two-year loan if we are not going to play him, a win for both sides
