I promised myself not to get too carried away with any of our youngsters again but finding it hard not to with this lad. Would so like to see him get some time off the bench with the first team.

he's so good. probably the most all around talented to come through the academy. he's got pretty much everything you want in an attacker; blistering pace, shooting, passing, dribbling. the only area he lacks is height (he's 5'9/5'10) but he may still get taller seeing as he only turned 17 at the end of last year. 

Encouraging, I also agree that it would be good to see him get some time on the pitch. 

awwww. has @Nibs fallen in love again????

We will need to give him his debut sooner than later. Teams like Borrusia Monchen & Dortmund are poaching them at a young age & guaranteeing them games. The 17yr old kid Dortmund snatched from City has been getting games due to the uncertainty surrounding Aubameyang.

If we can’t compete for top talents because of the way the market is, we need to be trying to hold on to the exceptional young talents we have. 

looks very good.

He looks like he is physically ahead of musonda, I would to see him get an opportunity, to see how he fares.

Was watching the complete highlights show in Chelsea TV. Man this kid is brilliant. Our U23 had a game against Sunderland which we won 5-0 and he scored a hattrick. His second goal was out of this world. It then showed our U18 Youth Cup game against WBA. His first goal was a solo effort from starting just in front of the half-way line and must of gone past 5-7 players and finessed shot into the net. I hope someone can get a clip of it. Just magnificent. Almost Messi-like

yeah jadon sancho i think is his name. he was one of the best players in the england tournament we won, along with hudson-odoi and phil foden. the problem is, the manager had to alternate hudson-odoi and sancho because they play the same position, so hudson-odoi would sometimes be given a lesser role next to sancho in a kind of no.10 if i remember correctly which i thought negated some of what hudson odoi can do, but they certainly partnered up well and would put together some lovely interplay. i'm not sure how sancho is getting on at dortmund though. 

Just notched an assist against league 1 Oxford in the league cup

Make that 2 assists

He's absolutely dominating a very decent defense,  making it look easy. 

Looks class as usual, apparently Conte is watching so you'd expect him to be keeping an eye on both him and Ampadu.

i'm not watching but following chelsea youth on twitter for updates. sounds like he's balling again. 

this true? 

 

Knows how to find and get the ball to Zappacosta, good lad.

With all this situation around, no Morata, Michy is on his way to Dortmund, Willian is injured. 

Is there any little chance for him to start tonight against Bournemouth? Is it possible to maybe dream about it?

Start no, dream yes.

CRACK !!!!!!!!

Better than Pedro already at 17. Deserves a chance to start some games.

Should move his thread to the main forum... he had two shots on target so probably won’t feature again this season 

MOVE THIS THREAD !!!!!!

I have been a big fan of Pedro since he arrived, but he has been one of our worst players this season. If Hudson-Odoi was performing like this, then he would be unlikely to play again for the club. Conte has said that if they can prove they are good enough, then they will play, age doesn't matter.........well Conte, with Willian out and Pedro being terrible, i say give this kid a go, and that goes for some of the other younger players too. 

Some of the senior players are not performing any better than our younger players would perform. They shouldn't be guaranteed starts just because they cost millions of pounds. 

He has that spark and energy that no other player had today, showed good technical ability to beat players, drove through midfield and got a few shots away as well. Pedro has been poor for quite a long time now, it's time for Callum to get a chance.
