Dazzy_Vance 454 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 He's a CM. Conte needs to fire a rocket up his arse and tell him if he doesn't get a move on he can f*** off to the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early days, trying to find his right position in this team ,like to find his running stats as he always looks like he ain't doing enough without the ball?

Cripen 110 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 When you probably don't even want to be a footballer, but you're forced into it before you're 10 years old (an age when passions should still be developing and found out naturally, not pushed on you) and are likely a millionaire by the time you're 20, you're far more focused on all the poon you're going to slay each weekend, all the places you're going to go and see etc. than you are focused on a game you don't care about. Which let's be clear about, he doesn't. If you care about anything, it is evident to onlookers. If you want to be a good football player, we can see it, even if you're shit. But he shows 0 signs of wanting to be here or on any football pitch. He can't believe he's getting game time and money for doing absolutely nothing. But that's the parent's fault as well as his own fault. I'm sure there are far more of these young players that don't care about football in the least. It's a generational, & being spoiled thing. Think You go a little to far with this. You dont know his parents nor You dont know how his childhood looked like. But he has no desire to shine - I can agree with You on that, mate [emoji6] Wysłane z mojego ALE-L21 przy użyciu Tapatalka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are first team quality players in other premier league sides who barely earn 60k a week... I bet his lack of hunger, attitude has something to do with his 'high wages' Suddenly Solanke comes to mind. His father holding on for 50k a week is too much. Unbelievable talent, definitely one of the three best centre forward top prospects in England alongside Rashford and Tammy Abraham. But ready to spend this season playing for the youth Chelsea teams because he does not want to sign the extension. Such a shame. After a season in which he played regulary in a very good league, now he goes back to youth level. Solanke has everything to become a great centre forward - the looks, the physique, the CF instincts, great goalscoring ratio for a youth player. Everything. Everytime I had watched him I got that feeling that he is tailor made to be a CF. With other players you get the feeling that they could play CF, on the wing, maybe as attacking midfielders as well. But Solanke looks like the type of pure CF. But at this point I think Tammy Abraham is way ahead of Solanke in terms of development. And definitely ranked higher than Solanke within the Chelsea hierarchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it was from sheer natural desire that they've made it through the youth ranks all the way to the senior level, they'd show blood/sweat/tears etc. But RLC shows none of that, so how did he become a footballer? Why? I doubt it was an accident. I don't doubt it was outside pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scargo 75 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Although his form is bad... His ideal position is 8 in a 433.. not striker. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I really can't see us using the lad. Hes not good enough to make the team no matter what position he plays. Our problem is hes been pushed thru as the academys blue eyed boy and has been hyped to fuck. So I cant see him being loaned out or not thrown a game now n then as we would look like we lost. Plus the wage rise would anyone want to pay it for him? We have many more youth better than him yet the pressure is on us about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I think he could be one of those late bloomers starting at age 25 and on... He is probably best for #8 in 433 and those players need experience. But theres the thing .RLC has physique and technique, but lacks motivation. If Conte keeps him in our ranks, gives him decent amount of chances and moulds him like Pogba, then maybe he can make it here. Like Roberto at barca. He is obviously overhyped, but there is still a chance for him. But if we wont give him playtime, better sell him with clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Good, that's his level. To even entertain the possibility that right now, he's anywhere close to the best midfielders in the Championship, would be lunacy. We've essentially been playing with a physically disabled guy when he's on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its purely because some big gob along with the board have hyped him as the answer to all our problems to use the academy like a feeder club. We pay him far too big a salary so he starts believing the hype. Now instead of being on loan and learning his trade, being kicked about by men not boys, hes collected dust and is totally game rusty. We have Chalobah and Aina both trying,waiting for time and all RLC is doing is keeping another, more useful academy lad from progressing some. You ca see now the healines when we do sell him saying our use of the academy blah blah and RLC is amazing blah blah. |So lets hope we make some money out of him and put it to some good use.

I don't think its true that players only view clubs as jobs. Most do have an affection for their club and will do forever. When they join another team it can be because of a variety or reasons, but when they join they have to perform to their best or they are breaching their contract with the club. blueblood22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kaplan- 410 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Put it this way, we'd be lucky if he turned out half as good as Walcott. His agent mugged us off by securing him £60k/wk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogba was 19-20 when he was a regular at Juventus. Do you see what I'm getting at? Yeah, he can turn out to be good, EVENTUALLY. At the moment, he's behind Chalobah and isn't even getting a sniff in. Better to cut our losses and make room for a better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you are hilarious with your analysis, but even funnier with your stubbornness when proven wrong. I've seen it enough with all the people on here who claimed Lukaku will never be anything decent anyway... Seems like he came around, yet they're still chirping. blueblood22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heskey had all the 'physical tools' and currently RLC looks like that may be his eventual level. Lukaku is not decent. His wiki stats for his goal record completely contrast what Everton fans say about him. He gets constant abuse week in week out, and all he'd be good for here is being a poacher sub which if we prayed, may get a goal sometimes when we're losing and start pumping the ball forward. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
