Gaël Kakuta

I hope so, but I think he don't have a bright future in Chelsea. I won't surprise if he sign long-term contract with Dijon on summer.

Got game time in 2/2 games on his loan spell. Good signs, if this carries on.

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

Well, he's going to have to work hard if he's to succeed at Chelsea. I heard he had some attitude issue at Bolton.

Do we really need a seperate thread for this..

Seriously, what is the point of having 'player profiles' on this forum?

You should be. They can't even afford his wages and the club didn't offer him a 5 year contract 12 months ago for nothing.

He's been a Chelsea player for 5 years now, he's not a baby anymore. If he's not back and playing by 12/13, he'll never succeed here. He has the ability to be good enough but has to still prove it.

But remember, he's only 20. Usual age is about 22/23 before you'd look to cut your losses on such talents.

Yes but he's been fucked about with. He had a few games, then got an 8 month ban, then played a couple of games, got injured, loaned to Fulham, didn't play, loaned to Bolton, didn't play, now loaned to some crap French team which will in no way, shape or form replicate the premiership.... How is he ever gonna be ready to play for us? When he comes back, he'll have to get used to the pace of the premiership again like a new signing. The last 5 years or well maybe 3 years have been a complete waste of time.

That's true. Signs are good at Dijon. The coach brought him on in the 56th minute v. Lyon when they were 1-0 down. He also brought him on to play attack midfield, not wing as many think he belongs to. The coach seems to be confident in him, and Kakuta's even come out to say he feels ambitious and wanted at Chelsea. Psychology of a youth player may be a factor here, André looks like he's making life easier with them.

French striker Gael Kakuta believes he has the talent to become a success at Chelsea, and hopes his loan move to Dijon will give him the experience he needs to improve as a player.

Player-related news goes in their topics guys

I find it difficult to see much future for Kakuta and Lalko (who is an impressive winger) if we are looking to sign players for the same role like KDB, Hazard etc.

I do want him to shrug off the crappy few years he had and prove himself over the course of this season and in 12/13 and create a spot for himself in the squad. Even with Milan, I would like to see him in the first team in some role in the next season or at least get loaned to a PL club.

I was going to do a pun when I posted but thought it was too predictable. Luckily you were on hand!

Well if we fail to get to CL this season, then these youngster would not mind playing for a Chelsea that plays Europa League.

That might be good for our youngster to give them some time, but bad for Chelsea money wise.
