Thank goodness the medical staff remembered to cut his umbilical cord before he came on v Ajax.

Theres an argument for him being in the matchday squad either today and or v Wolves.

He played well last week mostly with his back to goal playing crisp short passes. he did nothing wrong, plenty of touches, no wastage.

There's an argument for him to be manager for the Wolves game.

Just seen he's been loaned to Wigan, while McQueen's been loaned to Portsmouth.

I thought he could get a move to a stronger side in the Championship instead, does anyone know if Wigan are the right "project" for the lad?

Reece James did ok there.

Reggie's only 17, (18 in October) so a season in League One, then next year in the Championship, and then maybe a year in the PL after that, and that should set him up nicely ... to be sold to Strasbourg LOL

Super Reggie Walsh

Reece was their player of the season.

Much like with Reece James, Jude Bellingham, Mount, Tomori, Guehi etc. starring in an overachieving team can actually be more beneficial than having a kid fight for closely-managed minutes at a title contender or relegation-battler.

I agree, that's why I'm a little worried given that Wigan are struggling in League One for years now and last year they finished just 7 pts ahead of the drop zone. Can't say I've watched them though, so just curious if they have a key role for him there.

Although when Reece played there they almost got relegated from Championship (they got relegated the next year) as well and he still did great so there's that.

Hope it goes well for the lad. Whatever happens I hope he comes back with the attitude that he doesn’t want to spend his career in league 1 and it helps him work even harder to make it at Chelsea.
