The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Matic isn't a youth product? That's like saying Sturridge is a youth product as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 A lot of rumors on Twitter that he might join Vitesse on loan for next season. If that turns out to be true, then it would seem like a waste. Ake was promising and played reasonably well from his games in the 1st team last season. Should be staying in England and play in the Championship at the very least.

Should be staying in England and play in the Championship at the very least.I don't think the Eredivisie is worse than the championship. And since he is Dutch it makes sense that he goes there since he will probably be more comfortable there and might develop better as a result. He was never going to stay with the first team here after we signed Van Ginkel. Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Agree with choulo vitesse seems like an ideal destination for ake right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 He seems very focused on staying at Chelsea at the moment. He turned down an U19 call up this season to go with Chelsea for pre-season, and rumours today said he rejected a loan to stay at Chelsea.

lucio 5,418 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 apparently he will be staying with the u21s this seasonbut mourinho will be keeping a regular eye to see if any of them can step up http://theshedender.com/2013/07/view-from-the-shed/drummy-mourinho-to-assess-clubs-under-21-talent?

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 waste of a talent if he stays here... with our mid already jam-packed with the linkes of rambo, mikel, essien, mvg, lamps, cant see him getting a moment of first team action. should go out on loan.

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 He's only 18. There's no need to rush whatsoever.i feel there is. i remember josh's situation when he got his first playing time under ancelotti. he was 17 then and to be honest dont see any improvement in him. i know josh and ake are 2 very different players but i feel a big chunk of the responsibilty for josh's lack of development has to be some of the poor decision taken by the board. dont want ake to go down the same road. just cant see y a championship club loan spell is a bad idea. he can do something similar to chalobah.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 He's only 18. There's no need to rush whatsoever.The problem is, he doesn't seem to want to go on loan at all. He said that last season and this season he turned the loan to Vitesse which was perfect for him imo, since MVG has just moved here and there is a spot in the starting lineup which he could easily make his own; plus he's Dutch so he could have fitted in easily. Playing in the Eredivisie would be so much better for his development than playing in the U21 league.I think Nathan is one of the, if not the, best prospect we have in our academy, but if he refuses to go out on loan, that will damage his chances of making it here a lot.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 He's a nice little player and will have a decent future, but I haven't seen anything that gets me excited at all. The best prospect in our academy? No way. Boga, Loftus-Cheek, Christensen are all better prospects imo.Where does his future lie anyway? He plays CB for the youth/reserve teams but played DM for the first team. Imo, he should stick to CB. He has great technical ability and reads the game well. He's small for a CB right now, but he's only young so he has plenty time to bulk up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
