Charly Musonda STARTS for Real Betis vs Valencia live on Sky this afternoon. #CFC #loanwatch

How was his debut?

good apparently. i think he got gaya sent off (not deliberately) and had a part to play in betis goal. they beat valencia 1-0. 

Destroyed Gaya who I rate highly, probably the MOTM. Begs the question; why wasn't he ever given a look in by Jose?

can ask that question until the cows come home. first game at the top level and already looking like a stand out

Not tall enough, too young, no scathing photos of Jose, take your pick

He's going to have a good time at Betis.

Delighted that he played and by all accounts had a blinder. Kids like him are what we should be planning our future around and hopefully he can impress enough to be given a shot next season.

 

We need the hope that young players like him provide at this moment.

Plenty on here have been watching him and we are not surprised.

Then Betis attacked and made no mistake. Castro began the move in the final third and a flick by Charly Musonda helped it on to Van Wolfswinkel, whose low cross bypassed Aymen Abdennour and Castro swooped to tap in.

Completed 90 minutes in his debut, not bad. Got a feeling it's going to be a successful loan.

Didn't get a look-in from Guus, who ignores Ruben most of the time, either

Good start, IliyaKrostin.

 

Man of the match.

A successful loan in Chelsea's terms is that at the end of it we get offered £5m for him. [emoji57]

Judging by that video it's not hard to get MOTM in Spain?

Musonda first ever senior goal today in what is his second league game for Betis.

Playing on the left but with plenty of freedom to roam Musonda looks like one of the better players on the pitch, and is looking very suited to this level of football.

The goal came from a header after a wonderfully timed late run into the box

Delighted for the young lad and in a season of sh*t, to see him get his first senior goal on the same day Traore gets his first Premier League goal bodes extremely well for the future.

 

A quiet summer with an emphasis on the youth next season fills me with tremendous excitement.

A quiet summer with emphasis on youth is what we were doing last summer

Will be interesting to see how he does there, clearly the talent is there.

I'm going to disagree and say the last minute panic bids give an impression that the board just grossly over estimated this squads ability to compete for back to back titles.

There has been no emphasis to play youth and as I've stated many times, Roman has forced managers to play players they didn't really want to.... so it's very telling that his has never done this with a youth player.

This summer might be different as the gap between what the Sr players offer and what the Jr players offer has never been so dissapointingly small under Roman.

I see what youre saying. To me, underestimating the squad indicates they thought our young players would be enough in the way of strengthening. I think the intention was there to have a quiet summer and lean more on youth rather than making transfer noise.

I also think the lack of time given to academy/young players was one of the reasons Roman sacked Jose.
