german-blue mentioned it it pre-match chat, but feel it deserves topic of it's own...great news for him and if he gets on hope everyone makes a lot of noise...this kid is going to be special....i'm sure...and he deserves a cheer for what he's been through

Absolutely, the place should go crazy for him after all the cr*p he and the club have gone through!

I hope that he gets a bit of game time, even if it's just ten minutes at the end. After everything that he's had to endure this season, he deserves it.

Bring him on even if it's only to stick two fingers up at UEFA

What better way to stick it to UEFA by Kakuta turning into a legend!

This is fantastic news. don't want to over-hype the lad but from now on, he should be in the first team squad as much as possible.

Fingers crossed the starting 11 can get us in a comfortable position so by the second half Ancellotti is able to bring on both Kakuta and Borini. How great would it be to see him come on and score?!!!

I think an assist would do just fine!

Or best yet, Borini to scored from a brilliant piece of Kakuta setting up the assist

If he's brought on I hope the Chelsea supporters really give him an amazing welcome.

Exactly my thoughts. Imagine what an emotional moment it would be for the young lad after all he has gone through. Wish him all the best!

my 1st post!

i would be extremely surprised if those at the bridge didnt cheer their loudest if/when GK comes on, they may even start up a "KUUUUUUUU" (which could add to some confusion if we sign KUN aguero in 2 months, and kalou too!) for kakuta. i read that Carlo said that when that transfer sh^t hit the fan, GK was in japan w/ the french natl youth team, and that , initially, GK took it pretty hard, but has bounced back well from it.

im one who finds it necessary to find a positive frrom any situation, even one thats bad on the surface. if what ive heard about GK's character are true, then this will be an extremely good learning experience for him, and he'll learn how to use that energy as a catalyst to drive him.

some1 also mentioned earlier the press conf Carlo had, saying that indeed drogs, ballack, lamps and deco are all out for sure, but he didnt say anything about JT, so hopefully he's in... not that im worried about the wolves attack. hes just in my fantasy team!

Carlo talked about kakuta in an interview today and sounds like we may have a real gem of a player here

some absolutely glowing praise and there is nothing i would rather see more than him rip a long one against wolves today

I hope that he'll play today. ;)

Impressive debut!

Very impressive, and its funny to see how many of the predictions here came true or were exceeded.

He looks like he is going to be fully worth the wait!

Awesome first impression. Makes you think, one of the most promising youngster since JT comes along, and gets a ban?! Coincidence?

Electric was the right word to describe him. He is an immense talent !

I already love him !

Great debut.

But Matic looked promising aswell, very very fast !

Brilliant debut! No wonder they banned him.

i can see old red nose, whinger and the fat spanish waiter sending FIFA and UEFA now begging them to re-instate the ban.

As we used to sing (almost): You can't ban a Chelsea man!

EDIT: Maybe we didn't sing that, but we had it on shirts and badges.

All 3 youngsters looked superb - matic was superb, looked a similar build to ballack and kakuta brought the stadium alive!

I too was impressed with Matic, thought he looked really composed and strong on the ball.

But the man of this thread - Kakuta, looked a bit good didn't he?

Looked brilliant indeed. What got me thinking though, what is his natural position? Left winger? Or would he play tip of the diamond in Carlo's lineup?

hopefully he will get more chances in the first team. would be a good opition to have him on the bench for games as a wildcard
