A link to the match highlights can be found below.

I thought Stamford was in Asia! There's something fishy going on here...

I get the vibe Nathan is a tad upset that he isn't on tour with the first team squad and is back with the under 21s...understandable if he's a bit disappointed after the highs of last season...hope Jose does the right thing by him

Poor Bridget won't know what's what over in Asia.

I hope the Chelsea fans who attended the game enjoyed their no league experience and will adopt Sutton as their other team? :-) :-)

Understandable after being involved with the first team last season but the club probably feel that van Ginkel needs the game time over him and it would appear from his quotes Jose rates Chalobah extremely highly.

 

Better for the club to be honest with Ake about his first team prospects this season I guess.

Ake signed a new 5-year contract with the club. Great news hope he breaks through more to the 1st team this season. Loads of potential in that kid.

5 years is a clear statement by the club that they think he has a future with us. Good news.

Excellent news, and very well done to the lad.  He'll need to accept that game time will be very limited this season and probably next as well, maybe a loan could be on the cards, though I don't think that's the right thing for all of our youth prospects.

I think its clear that he will go on loan by him not going with the team to america.

I'm not too sure about that... first wait and see what José has to say.

If he is going to be used then why wouldnt they take im to the US? It seemed that all the players that went to Asia but didnt go to the US will be going on loan this season.

Ake, Josh, Chalobah and Piazon will end up going on loan. Ake will probably go to Vitesse but I hope the other 3 can get something better

I think Piazon is more likely of those to go there. Josh is a championship player, saying that he was suppose to be going to spain for a year. That could do him some good. The other two i would like to see get a loan to a premier league team but only if they will play. It would be pointless loaning them to sit on the bench.

I thought Josh was off to Spain and it was pretty much a done deal - what happened to that?

ake hasn't even trained with the first team under jm, do unless he stays and plays for the u21's, he will be on loan this season.

Josh said recently on Chelsea TV that he will be going out on loan and it should be done in the next week or so.

I thought Ake looked okay when he played last season but in my opinion at present there are 2-3 other youth players ahead of him in terms of ability.

 

A season or two on loan will hopefully see him improve and return to push for a place in the squad. 

Signed a new 5 year contract according to Chelsea TV.

 

Edit Saulo beat me to it.

He will NOT be going on loan this season. Staying with U-21s, primarily to qualify him as HG / Association trained I guess.

Generally not a fan of 18 and unders going out on loan so I'm pretty happy with this. I expect him to get a few games too.

Yeah, I keep forgetting how young he is. Hope we get a couple of minnows in the cups, will definitely get some minutes there.
