Forget CHO, any updates on this?

Yes please.  He played yesterday as if his contract had already been terminated.

I think we can eliminate "waiting for the best PR time to announce it" as a reason why it hasn't been announced yet...…….

I never believed that in the first place. If he had signed a new deal during pre season like people had thought, it would have been announced by now. If has already signed a new deal, then this is the longest wait for an official announcement that I have ever seen. 

I still think he's signed/signing but i must say the club/him waiting this long is doing him no favour with the fans right now.

My theory is he will be the face of the third kit promo stuff whenever that is launched and a new deal will be announced with that. 

Good news... amazing that he's back training this fast

CHO signing will be a welcome relief and if nothing else, Lamps will have got 3 of our youngest and brightest on long term deals. Should be careful not to put too much expectation on his shoulders though. He was promising in flashes last year, mostly against limited opposition. Expect he'll have his ups and downs this year just like the rest of the young team.

He didn't sign anything.

I believe they have agreed on terms... I don't think he's signed anything. 

I also believe he will, because they've agreed to terms...

Did he or didn’t he sign?

Our season seems to be riding on CHO AND RLC [emoji849][emoji849]

I find it pretty remarkable that Callum is already back to training with the first team squad already. I figured with having a ruptured Achilles, he wouldn't be back to practicing with the squad for 6 months at least. If he is indeed as close at it seems them it is a testament to the training staff, the medical team and to CHO for really knocking this recovery period out of the park, Hopefully he keeps progressing and we get to see CHO back at full health here soon.

With CHO coming back and RJ close as well this team could have a completely different dynamic to it. Throw in RLC in the next few months then we might see some serious fireworks.

Honestly based on the last game I'd argue Pedro deserves to keep his spot over Pulisic. Although I recognize that Pulisic was probably tired after the game against Liverpool

I thought Pedro struggled too, and I had no problem with that... I was shocked to see him starting after 120 minutes mid-week.

I NEVER doubt Pedro's effort. He belongs in the rotation.

 

As long as Willian isn't anywhere near the team after that half assed performance on Sunday.  Correction:  it was a fully assed performance.

Pedro, Pulisic, CHO. Three wide players for two positions.  Pace and effort.  Willian ran (plodded about the grassy surface) as if he had a Dacia Duster strapped to his back side.

Have you ever paid for parking in London? It was cheaper for me to pay a Premier League footballer to look after my car, alright?

Not to forget Charlie Brown who will be thrown into the CF position as a last hope when our other striker options don't score 😉

I get it.  Willian is a better car park than he is a footballer.
