Charly Musonda Jr.

[Peppi85 110]

Didn't find a topic about him. He's one of the brightest prospects of his generation, so he deserves one. right?

age; 16 15/10/1996

teams; U18 Chelsea, captain of the U17 Belgium squad

signed; 8 june 2012

foot; right

Position; Central midfield

style; Boskamp (ex-trainer of Anderlecht, Standard & well respected youth scout) calls him a mix of Xavi & Iniesta. The best of his generation. He's pretty small & fragile but his touch, movement, balance & vision is magic.

weakness; small & fragile, shot on goal can be better, left foot

family; His 2 brothers Tika (18) & Lamisha (20) accompanied him to Chelsea but are not on his level. But Chelsea had to take them to get a chance on Charly Junior.

His dad was a pro footballer in Belgium & a great one. They used to call him Champagne Charly. He's been trough a lot. Here's his wiki page -> http://en.wikipedia..../Charly_Musonda

former club; played his whole career @ RSC Anderlecht; Their biggest talent in youth categories since Kompany & Lukaku. They did everything to keep them at the club, but Chelsea came with Big big money. (which I regret as a supporter of Anderlecht off course)

negative in Chelsea's perspective; He's a big fan of Barca & it's his dream to play there one day.

videos; check youtube

scored vs. the Netherlands this sunday. Lost 2-1 though, the team had an off-day. (Belgium U17 is one of the brightest sides of Europe & hopefully we can see them shine at the EC U17 in 2013.)

Read in some newspapers that this guy is the next big thing. I hope he becomes a cracking chelsea player

[Dy-lan 142]

Haven't heard much since we signed him, but for some reason im excited about him.

[Hamilton 2,118]

So glad we have him..

An intervieuw couple weeks ago stated he's looking for a first team spot in two years, that would be very fast i guess..

He also commented that he found it important that his family has moved with him. Only us and City were prepared doing this.

Him and Bakkali are the stars of Belgian youth football. Really excited to see this kid come through.

Don't forget about Perreira (playin for Man Utd since this year). They are the big 3.

Yep Charly is quite the talent .... hope - really hope - this works out fine development wise and staying injury free! Chelsea has such a gem on their hands with this one ... few people realize just how good this kid is.

Don't forget about Perreira (playin for Man Utd since this year). They are the big 3.

And Bossaerts, playing for City since this year. A really impressive centre back. There's also Siebe Schrijvers of course.

[Stingray 9,441]

Goddamned... what happened in the belgian gene pool the last years ... somthing fishy in the water perhaps, because we generate so much talent. hope it all comes to Chelsea though :-)

Belgian media are reporting he is training with the first team these days!

The 16 year old midfielder normally plays with the U18 and sometimes even with the U21.

In preseason, Musonda already had a few trainings with the first team. But a U18 player that trains with the first squad in the middle of the season apparently is unseen!

This only shows once more what a true gem we have in our hands! Hopefully in the near future he will give us many great moments!

ps: Charly himself stated he wants to be a regular starter at the first team in 2 years. Looks like he's well on schedule

It is quite common actually tbh. Lewis Baker and Reece Mitchell and a few of the other youth team players are seen training with the first team. Hopefully he is a decent prospect but I doubt he will be a regular starter here in 2 years, he needs a reality check tbh. Long way to go till that.

To be honest, he's showing a lot of ambition and that's a good thing.

I thinks its fair to say that charly musonda,Islam feruz,nathan ake and jeremie boga are the best of the up coming crop of players.

Plus Tomas Kalas, Lucas Piazon, Nathaniel Chalobah, then we have some quality youth to look forward. Can't wait personally for Kalas to be called upon, he is such a talent!

I can't but wonder how many and which of them will someday be a regular in the first team though.

He normally plays for the U16, he has rarely featured for the U18 and U21.

Not really, all of them are good prospects but wouldn't say they are the best.

I saw him play for the Belgian u17. He is amazing.... I can't wait to see how good he turns out to be. Scouts were telling me he is like a mixture of Xavi/Iniesta. sounds good
