Andreas Christensen

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I don't understand why we're not blooding him into the team this season when he's been subject to such a bid & won their POTY award. How many loanees in top flight football receive such an accolade at 20?! We're not talking Championship here. Ridiculous decisions.. 

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

I wouldn't be really shocked if we sell him. We seem apt in producing these massive brain farts as of late.

I don't think the club are that daft, but if they even consider it; a clause similar to Thorgan's has to be inserted. It's something the club have to do from now on.

Exactly.. Buy Back Clauses, Buy Back Clauses, Buy Back Clauses, Buy Back Clauses. It's the only way Chelsea should entertain selling these promising youth players. 

Andreas should be competing for a job here imo, much like LDN Blue said, because JT is no longer a guaranteed starter, and Cahill is a tragedy in defense. 

In two years time, I seriously hope our CB starters (provided they continue to grow and get better) are Zouma, Andreas, and Whichever Top CB we plan on signing this summer.

I agree. I'm still unsure what type of deal we have with Gladbach, but I believe he should be in our squad for the start of next season.

Buy back clause ain't worth shit if the player don't want to re-sign. It only means that we don't have to negotiate with the club. Fiorentina had an option to sign Salah but he didn't want to go.

 

Christensen is a top young player and plays in a 3 CB system, letting him go for 15-20 million pounds would be plain stupid.

[DYC. 7,542]

Desperately hoping he'll develop into one of the major candidates to make a claim as third best CB behind the kings Boateng and Hummels and I hope he'll actually want to return. None of the top CBs in football play for Chelsea and all are out of the club's reach.

And I hope he's gained weight or is gaining weight. He's not quick and nimble so him being lightweight doesn't help at all. He doesn't have to turn into Hummels but he needs to become more powerful and commanding in duels.

Is he still on loan?

Agree with most of what you are saying but for a CB he is relatively quick. Very similar to John Stones imo. None are astonishingly quick but for a CB they are quite quick compared to the majority.

Yes, we loaned him out for two season last summer.

Chelsea reject bid for defender

[The Chels 2,502]

£14m? The cheek!

CHELSEA REJECT CHRISTENSEN BID

Borussia Monchengladbach  have had a  €17m euro offer forAndreas Christensen turned down, according to Sky Germany sources.

[Stats 7,054]

Should not sell at any price. He is the future of this club. If we are to sell, which I hope not we must include a buy back clause. But really he should be integrated into the team after this season.

[Persona 29]

He absolutely is the future. Three of our centre backs probably won't even be with the club next season(Hell, none of them might even be playing by December.) Chelsea are smart to not sell him off.

[the wes 7,212]

It's a shame we can't bring him back now ffs

YEP!

I initially thought that it would be best for the club and him if we sent Happy out on loan. But it was totally the right thing keeping him training with the 1st team. Did him the world of gppd gradually getting used to the atmosphere and sitting on the bench, getting a few minutes etc..

Its either that or throw jim straight into the deep end. Mught be good for Ola.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Disgrace of a bid. Shouldn't go for anything less than what Stones goes for.
