LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 No surprises. We couldn't sign him long term before his 18th anyway, mere formalities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson 358 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Good news. Get him on the bench. I would rather see him there than Mikel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDutchy 63 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Good news. Get him on the bench. I would rather see him there than Mikel.Completely different players..And he isn't good enough to be on the bench. He still has to adapt to England and isn't even the best Reserve player..

Spike 12,049 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Looks like he means to be a Chelsea player for a while then. It would be great if he pushed into the First Team with McEachran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm very curious about his wages..I hate how highly foreign reserve imports are hyped (in contrast to the ones being at the academy for >2-3 years) but if the club is just giving away 5 year contracts with high wages (considering that he has yet to play the game at a professional level) then hype is the last thing we should worry about.

He still has to adapt to England and isn't even the best Reserve player..Two different players. DUH!! I wasn't comparing them! We don't need Mikel we have Essien, Ramires and Romeu. Piazon would be another attacking midfield option, which we lack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piazon would be another attacking midfield option, which we lack.I know you weren't but Mikel is our back-up holding midfielder. I think it's necessary to have a back-up for Romeu on the bench, even if you don't use him. I'd rather replace Malouda with Piazon (but seen your recently opened topic, you'll probably disagree). They play in more similar positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfall 893 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I was really disappointed with his FIFA tournaments performance, but he's looked very good for the reserves IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
