Ruben Loftus-Cheek

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.

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.

This - seeing him and Chalobah together could give us the best midfield for Chelsea and England to come...

Both Athletic, quick, comfortable on the ball and a good eye for a pass - EXACTLY what we have been missing...

He owned City... 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...

Barcelona are back on the trail of young Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

The 17-year-old impressed the Spanish club's scouts with his performance during the recent friendly with Manchester City in New York.

Chelsea placed the England youth international on a lucrative contract following interest from Barca and rivals City earlier this year but that has not deterred the Spaniards who are keen to strengthen their own youth ranks after losing players to English clubs in recent seasons.

Doesn't he have something like a 1.7m/yr deal here? He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Yep. They say that potential never gets a person anywhere, it's still needed to work hard and put in the time to become adept. Apparently they hadn't met Loftus-Cheek, a millionaire made from his potential.

Same could be said about a lot of young players. Welcome to modern football.
