Amogou is 19. He got what he got from the stint he was here. Talk to top players, learn from them, see the life of a top footballer. Now he is going to a club that will play him on a good level. I think that boy is very lucky.

How do you know what Amougou wanted from his time at Chelsea? Nobody knows, but I would guess he wants what we all would want from a new employer: that our talents are actively used. Another guess is that any footballer not named Winston Bogarde wants to play, not just to talk to other players.

Oh no not Amougou! he's my favourite player have his name on the back of my new Chelsea shirt and everything. What a travesty watching him play was like magic, a modern footballing artist. He'll be sorely missed.

I'm not gonna lie , I don't understand the A list concept. .

Are there other lists, B and C . for example

And how do they figure in transfer regulations or in allowable squad numbers etc ? or in anything else . ?

Thanks

So the argument was his development will suffer by this 6 month stint by not playing. I don't think it has. He has trained first of all with much better players and seen the surroundings of a top team. If we asked him I'd be pretty sure he's loved his time at Chelsea but wants to play games. To just state bluntly he has suffered from this time as a 19 year old player I don't buy it.

It is possible that he has suffered naturally but he made the decision to come. It is his responsibility and his team. He decided to come and he knew he had Caicedo and others in front of him. If he has a brain he knows his path might be a bit more complicated than just to step in to the side.

I think his path to Chelsea now that he is with Strasbourg is pretty sweet compared to many others that have travelled through Chelsea.

No player will be happy or improve by not playing for 6 months, however you want to spin it. Match rhythm IS key.
