Gaël Kakuta

[Badboy 1,526]

Anelka an kakuta are 2 different players, anelka should play as a forward and that's it because that is what he is. Playing kakuta increases the potency of Drogba because he is way more creative than anelka. I think kakuta is ready, ever since he has joined this club he has blown us away. He has been killing it in the euro under 19's and he can add something to the first team now.

But when it boils down to it, I'd rather see Anelka through one-on-one with van der Sar than Kakuta.

Straight up.. Anelka one-on-one is deadly!

I'd much rather see kakuta.

He is the future of chelsea, the more opportunities he has to end up in such an attacking situation is only a good thing.

That was something special today against Spain in the Under 19 final. It certainly wasnt his best performance in the tournament but one mazey run, taking on and beating two defenders, getting a shot away but seeing it saved only to play an inch perfect lobbed cross to the back post for his team mate to head into the empty net, simply put one moment of magic from Kakuta won France the Euro Under 19 Championship.

Gael was the star of the tournament, like Torres was when he played in it, like Aquilani was when he played in it. Its easy to see why so many people are excited about Kakuta, who is different to anyone else we have in our squad, we can take a player on and beat them, he spots so many clever passes and he has a real football brain, I cant wait to se him in the first team.

He will definitely get more playing time this season. Think the u-19 european championships may have helped him to a certain degree as well.

I'm also keen to see Conor Clifford but that's a long shot when you have Essien, Lampard, Mikel and possibly Ramires in the centre of the park.

As if we will let Kakuta go, although reports of him being in the last year of his contract are a little worrying.

No facts in that report, nice to read... but oh well we knew ourselves that the boy is the key for the couple of seasons to come.

an article that's NOT criticizing us/making transfer rumours, say it isn't so?!

[zolayes 14,489]

first priority is to extend his contract ..

then we all want to see him on the pitch ,,,its hard to be patient but we must trust Carlo ...

hope to see gael in action soon tho

Really need to start blooding Kakuta this season. The more time he gets the quicker he will settle into the team and the better he can be. Time to stop pussy-footing about, we have one of the best young talents around and we need to use him

I agree 100% but carlo seems to worry about his physical nature, carlo said he is physically not ready, but he is ready technically.

Don't agree with that, didn't see him struggle physically when he got his chance. Gym work will only get you so far too, to deal truly with the physical nature of football you have to play in it! Reserves football in no way replicates that, which is why (and i have said it plenty of times) that this country will only bring through better quality youngsters once reserve teams are allowed to compete in league football.

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Whats the chances of him featuring this season ?

The reason I'm asking is that there were a few whispers that Rangers were possibly interested in taking him on loan in a similar deal that saw Vladimir Weiss arrive from Man City.

[BomTrett 50]

Haha the only benefit of him going to Rangers would be to see him tearing Man U apart in the Champions League. But he can do that for us, so i'd rather he stay put
