until he starts making an impact in the first team....i couldn`t care less

I highly doubt it. Neymar was talked about for years before he moved to Barca, no one even heard of this guy until he appeared in pre season.

If he turns out half as good as neymar is now then we'll have a brilliant player on our hands whom, inevitably will end up being scouted by barca or real and leaving us.

Didn't traore play central midfield for us in pre-season when he first came here?

I think he means the pre season before that. I seem to recall him in the middle of the pitch but wasn't he playing as a cam?

In my opinion Traore can play on every attacking position.

I'm not sure to be honest. I'm all for giving our youth a chance but they have to be ready. I saw him quite a few times for Vitesse, and as I've said before I'm not so sure he's ready to be in our first team. That doesn't mean I don't think he can be a good player though, he is a talented young player, usually with a good first touch and a cool finish. I'm just not sure he has what it takes to make it here.

Kenedy said: "It’s a dream come true. I've always wanted to play for a top club like this one.

"What excited me the most about being a Chelsea player is that there are many top Brazilian players that have played or are playing here.

"Deco, Oscar, Willian, Ramires... I used to play as these guys on my PlayStation and now I’m alongside them! That is very exciting for me.

"It's a big help because they are constantly talking to me on a daily basis and helping me out with everything.

"The way they have received me here will help me to develop.

"I am a typical Brazilian player. I like to go forward and attack but I also do a lot for the team.

"I put a lot of effort in and always do my best."

Comes on at LB and shines that side of the pitch up, outshining Hazard in the process.

So, brief 20 minute cameo and this guy looks fast, quick feet, and likes a long range shot. 

 

Need to see more of him, sooner the better. More determination to score than anyone else who was on the pitch today!

Send him on loan they said. He's probably been our best attacking player since the start of this season. He gets that accolade after his showing today under pressure.

If we can take any positives from the game is that Kenedy looks a real talent.

Thought kenedy and rlc both did well.

Came on against Palace and I was really impressed with his game today. Good control under the ball and did well under pressure with his little tricks and ball control. Probably one of the only good things to take away from the game is that Kenedy looks like a good player for the future and maybe even for this season

He's real talent, I really want to see Jose giving him more chances.

Great debut for the lad. certainly got the fans onside early on. exactly what we need, a brave, dynamic player willing to take a chance to try and create something. 

Very early of course, but looks like he has the potential to be a top player. He is not scared to shoot from distance either (with a lovely, powerful left foot) which i like to see. Let us hope he progresses well here.

P.S. nice little elastico he tried too haha!

we have found a real gem in this one, keep the hunger and attitude up and i think he's going to be something really special

But can he track back?

I think the answer to that is a firm Yes!

was great today need more of it though, hope he gets a lot of gametime to keep building on that especially as he was out of position.

Ask suarez

Normally after a youngster plays good for,mourinho wont play him again for months

At the game today and can say that even when he was crossing he got back into shape very quick. To come on in this situation and be confident shows he has character. We could see a couple of changes after the international break with a couple of worried players.

Showed promise on bad circumstances, would like to see him get some minutes when we are playing with more structure.
