Todd Kane to debut against Blackburn?

[Chelsea8oy]

Todd Kane may make his first team debut this week against Blackburn, I'll tell you now Chelsea won't be looking to sign a right back if this lad gets to play with quality around him.

Very pacy, great tackler, and scores goals with a great long range shot.

About time the youth came on and had a chance, also chilobha and piazon in the mix.

You heard it here first guys.

[Uno]

So let me get this right, there is still a possibility that we can get 4th but we are going to play the youth team instead. Yeah right.

Maybe if we don't beat Liverpool..............

To be fair he only said maybe... Also piazon's not actually that good, chalobah's a lot better, pure class. And english. I'd throw in izzy feruz and pat bamford in too

Piazon and Chalobah play completely different positions?

Wheres this Piazons not very good come from? He`s been outstanding all season in the ressies. Would love to see Kane play though, looks a hell of a prospect, having him and Bertrand on together would be great to see. Now thats 2 pacy full backs.

Got a little excited, like this was something that might actually happen. It won't.

I personally think Paulo Ferreira should feature in that match as it may well be his last run out in a Chelsea shirt.

Todd might well be a good option in the future at RB. He has certainly been impressive during the FA Youth Cup run. That said as all of our youth worldbeaters have shown, making the jump isn't as easy as one might think.

Are people forgetting about Hutchinson? Surely he is 1st in line.

Kane seems to be a better player.

Sam's day of playing right-back are finished I'd say. He retired only 18 months ago with knee trouble, bombing up and down the right flank isn't a viable option for his career I wouldn't think.

[Uno]

Since he has come back he has been playing RB still I believe. He done well every time I've seen him play. If any one deserves a chance it's Sam.

And how do you know this exactly ?

[Ozztheboss]

Kane is imo the one from the Youth squad who's closest to starting for the first team if we count out Bamford (who is cup-tied). Great engine, great pace, great tackler and great crosser of the ball. I'm looking forward to see if he can make the step; Iva isn't really a full back even though he is the best in Premier League.

piazon is more than good, hes great. him and feruz are a nightmare for any youth side

[CunningStunt]

Should have started him tonight. Couldn't have played any worse than Ferreira

[That Boy Brandinho]

This is the second time I've seen someone say Piazon isn't good in the past few days. I wonder if it's the same guy or if there are multiple blind Chelsea fans posting on braille keyboards.

He said the same thing in another thread, I`m starting to believe he`s been watching a completely different team`s reserves.

[Icky]

Wheres this Piazons not very good come from? He`s been outstanding all season in the ressies. Would love to see Kane play though, looks a hell of a prospect, having him and Bertrand on together would be great to see. Now thats 2 pacy full backs.

I just don't think he'll make it, seen pretty much all the televised reserves games and been to a couple youth cup games and i don't think he'll make it for us. Some times he's all right but i just don't think he's good enough to make it. Obviously i hope i'm wrong but we'll see

[mjcreswick]

Be interesting to see what sort of team RDM puts out for the Blackburn match. I know you don't want to risk injuries for the starting line up in the CL final, but surely some match sharpness is lost if the players haven't played for two weeks?

From what RDM said last night about Luiz/Cahill it seems like they wont be risked, or maybe given 20 mins to up their fitness.

I'd like to see;

Cech - Had a rest last night

Kane - Give the lad a chance - Give Boss 30 mins

Terry - Suspended for CL

Ivan - Suspended for CL

Bertrand - Give Cole 30 mins

Essien - desperately needs games

Romeu - cant be any worse than he was last night, and again needs games - Give Lamps 30 mins

Sturridge - Wont start CL

Piazon - Give the lad a chance

Malouda - Wont start CL

Lukaku - Maybe give Drogba 30 mins if other subs not used. Torres had 90 mins last night

Some people haven't a clue on here hutch is a centre half not a right back and he played the other week and let his man go for there goal.

[Chelsea8oy]

Since he has come back he has been playing RB still I believe. He done well every time I've seen him play. If any one deserves a chance it's Sam.

Hutch hasn't been playing right back Todd Kane has been in the youth and the reserves hutch is centre half only.

He had one game at right back and was blowing through his arse. I was there watching at cobham with Todd Kane.
