Amblève. 4,995 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 If JT was playing, he would have flattened Toure for inflicting the injury on Ruben. I wish either Luiz or Mikel (or captain Torres ) had stepped up to put Toure in his place... CHOULO19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesChick 1,260 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 odd that y'all were talking about him being injury prone and how big Toure is and that he doesn't get injured often. Spooky actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,509 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I wish either Luiz or Mikel (or captain Torres ) had stepped up to put Toure in his place...Mikel's too passive to flatten someone like Toure.And that's what we lack in midfield...a bit of steel and a bit of aggression. Miss the days when Ballack and Essien were the midfield enforcers. The only place to be and Mufassir08 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 He's been very impressive since around the Barca game a few months ago. It would be nice if he can bulk up a bit and get some experience at the pro level (be it Championship or occasional appearances for the first team a la Ake this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Impressed. Nice close control and composure for such a young player, future looks bright for him - hopefully it's at Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppen 934 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 He is so good it's unreal - at such an age, of course. Loving what I've seen so far, and if he continues his progress, the sky's the limit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mceachran 109 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I loved how he seemed at ease having the ball in the offensive third, shrugging off tackles and moving FORWARD to find the open player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 A promising talent will be sent out on loan for 2-3 seasons, we'll forget about him, he'll be sold. Rinse and Repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 He and Chalobah will be in the first team one day. I garuantee it. Josh still has a chance, but these guys don't. They don't because a chance suggests there is possibility that it won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I wasn't so sure about him in the youth cup games but now i see what he can offer. Was pretty poor against Norwich's kids yet very good against a full Man City team. Seems to have no fear and a lot of talent. He, Ake and Chalobah will make it for sure. FFP will help them too. I'm very excited to witness his Chelsea career. English Freak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! ja1 1,166 Posted May 27, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted May 27, 2013 I agree with people saying he reminds them of Ballack but he also reminds me of our own Chalobah. Although it won't happen I'd love to see a midfield three of those two in the box to box positions and Aké/Romeu holding. I do think he's ready for first team football, I actually think he excel in the Football League already. But I also wouldn't be against him continuing with FAYC/NextGen and the odd appearance for our first team like Aké has done second half of this season.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think it's remarkable that we seem to have the monopoly on strong, powerful, technically sound young English midfielders at the moment. The one thing this country has struggled to produce is a Vieira/Toure type player. Probably the closest we've got is Jack Rodwell, or maybe Pogba (not English but I'm struggling here).Yet it's quit conceivable that in 3 years time we're lining up with RLC and Chalobah in the double pivot. Is he ready now? Nope. I agree he should spend another year here as part of the youth setup and get game time in league cup games (maybe even CL group games) but I don't see him going out on loan. In fact I don't know if a loan is something every player needs so it'll be interesting to see what development path this kid takes.

I hate City - Toure is a dirty fucker and so is Kompany - Zabaletta is a fucking thug ... The ref's next season need to start booking these fuckers! - Then we'll see them reduced to 9-10 men per game and not so good... But currently they are a very dirty team...
