Some of you maybe bored with these stories but here goes anyway because it's topic relevant. It was my boys birthday as you saw above in the link. I went to the game on Friday evening and whilst he di

Cool story here.....On Saturday he posted a pic of him with Boro striker coach Craig Hignett. I commented and said "Isn't it about time you started following me big Ken" a few moment later he did repl

Met him before the game last night, what a fucking guy he is. Spent half hour chatting with him and then he had to go in. Stood near the tunnel as they came to warm up and as they came in he came over

ACON is the first time I've seen him play - but definitely promising. The guy is 19 (wouldn't think it looking at him. Nigerian so you never know.. ) and is being selected over the NIgeria captain (Yobo) for a game against arguably the best African side on paper - and he does well.

I don't think he's as, 'talented' as Kalas and Ake but he still has good potential I reckon. He has the physicality that neither naturally posess.Kalas is faster and more comfortable on the ball, has got some assists from crosses this season so he could maybe make that his permanent position. Very competitive there with Azpi, Kane, Wallace and Kalas/Omeruo depending on where they play in the future. Liking what I've seen from Omeruo so far.

The thing that concerns me about ake is that he is not physically strong to be a cb in england.Maybe his future is as a holding midfielder??he has played in that position before and has earned praise for his performances.

I'm not sure really, I was surprised when I found out Aké was just 5"11 as he rarely gets shown up for strength/aerial ability at youth level but then that could completely change at senior level. He has the tools to make it in both positions, think it's too early to say where he'll definitely end up. Players like Phil Jones and Puyol are 5"11 and below so it's not unheard of.

He is only 17. People tend to think you refrain from growing when u are 18 only because u are adult then. It is different from individual to individual butm en normally get taller until they are 21-24. I was 1,85m (6'1'') when i was 17 and I am almost 6'3'' now. A friend of mine has grown 4cm in 6 month and he is 25. Plus there are exercises which can stretch your spine if performed regularly. If height really is a problem one can grow 5-10 cm in 3 years after your epiphyses have already closed.

Btw. Kenneth Omeruo already is a Chelsea Player as far as i know. isnt there a forum for our youth players?

I don't see anything special in Tomas Kalas. He's an average utility defender who can play CB/RB/LB...and i'm guessing he'll end up like Michael Mancienne...loan spell after loan spell before we eventually sell him off to some German club.

True, plus it's not the height but the willingness to jump and the power one can get on the header, you sometimes see tall players like Sturridge and Mikel not really challenge balls in the air.

This is the Omeruo thread!

Really? I think we have a great young talent, been one of Vitesse's best players for the past 18 months and he joined them when he had just turned 18.

Someone who's been a starter in the Dutch 1st division since the age of 18 isn't anything special? Wow, I guess he has to be fucking Messi to be considered a good prospect.

Didn't really class him as talented when he was first signed but I watched him in the AFCON and he was immense.

Good CB with great positioning, decision making and tackling. Very composed when hes distributing the ball out from the back. Seems likely that he could go on loan to a PL club next year, looks ready for it physically and after such performances in the AFCON I wouldn't be surprised.
