Ruben Loftus-Cheek

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

He's got potential but he'll need to become a decent goalscorer. He's def not cut for a box to box role, at least not one where you can rely on him defensively. He's going to have to model his game around Yaya Toure.

Obv can't expect him to become that good but he'll have to get somewhat close to Toure if he expects to carve out a role at Chelsea.

Personally think he needs to be loaned out, needs game time and to work on his stamina, it'll do him good IMO.

Apparently he has been given the number 14 shirt

Traore's old number? (Iirc?). That didn't take long for the club to replace

Antonio Conte has confirmed Rubens Loftus-Cheek will remain at Stamford Bridge this season rather than be sent out on loan.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

How did he do last night?

I didn't watch the match but from the highlights he looked like he had a good first half and decent assist for Mitchy's second.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek impressing as a striker for Antonio Conte's Chelsea

Antonio Conte stepped up his experiment of using Ruben Loftus-Cheek in a forward role in Chelsea's 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. Adam Bate was there to see it for Sky Sports and believes that the move shows some promise…

Seems like people are liking this. The last time I saw youth get this much rave review for a carling cup match was for josh mceachran...

Is he lost brother of Anthony Joshua?

Conte: "I like Ruben a lot in the position of striker." #CFC (Sky)

Conte: "In this system, with 2 midfielders, Ruben can play close to the other forward but become a forward when we have the ball" #CFC (Sky)

We honestly can't be going forward with him as a CF and not buying someone/anyone in the next few days.

Quite a bit of talk about Gyan coming back to England. I seriously wouldn't be against getting him to fill in for this season.

[Pizy 18,368]

Not sure Conte really fancies him, tbh. Poor work rate and nonchalant attitude.

If he considers him a striker, when will he ever get a look in with Costa and Bats here? Crowded in midfield as well now that Oscar is considered a CM essentially. Not looking good for him is it?

Loftus-Cheek and Chalobah both with a goal & assist for England U-21 today against Norway.

Edit: Lew Baker with a goal, too.

We should use Chalobah and Loftus this year but probably Mikel will get chance sooner  it would be a perfect chance because we don't have much depth in 3 men midfield

I would have chalobah and loftus cheek ahead of Mikel in the squad

Every Chelsea fan would love that but it's not gonna happen

It would be nice to have 3 men midfield with Kante, Matić, Oscar, Fabregas, Chalobah and RLC
