Charly Musonda Jr.

[Adnane 1,101]

For all the criticism you're giving him Willian is still miles ahead of Musonda at the moment, there is no question about that.

Bye bye and fuck off.

Season has barely started, very stupid from Charly - essentially closed down his window of opportunity for the rest of the season. One of Pedro or Willian get injured and he’s the first off the bench at the least. He had a good chance of breaking through slowly but alas, he goes and says that publicly - not only will Conte not like it, the club themselves won’t.

Why’s he acting like he so deserves to be starting or something already? Why is he not communicating this directly to the manager? When he couldn’t even break into Real Betis’ first 11 last season... he shouldn’t be acting like he definitely deserves a spot just yet.

Ah the old shout on social media strikes again.

Very silly from him, things like this should be done behind closed doors and he will learn a very hard lesson here.

The Opposite. 

A lot of Chelsea fans overrate our academy players.

Chalobah is already a level above the rest of those players, he's far more likely to be in, say, Bertrand territory.

The timing of the post does seem somewhat odd it has to be said. Almost as if Musonda had an epiphany.

This is what I don't get. Like, why the hell post this now unless Conte has already told him a week in advance that he won't be in the match day squad against Palace which I doubt has happened.

Can understand that it must be frustrating to see out of form Willian and Pedro get picked ahead of him when he probably feels confident that he could do better. Also surely sees other young players around his age at other big clubs getting their chances and excelling. But he's got to understand that he's competing for a place with seasoned champions who are used to a grueling PL season. He's also probably hearing through his agent that there are other opportunities for him out there and he could "pull a De Bruyne."

Needs to get his head down and impress again in whatever minutes he does get. If he does, he'll get his chances.

Like a few have said, strange timing around all this.

I can image conte taking some time off over the internationals. Plus, unless something has been said this week would have thought Musonda would be on the bench this weekend with a good shout of some minutes. Morata and Kante seemingly out injured, luiz suspended still and Willian 1) out of form and 2) playing for Brazil tomorrow morning- which means he wont get back to London until Thursday at the earliest.

does make me wonder what goes on, however we really cant perfect the transition from the best crop of under18's to the first team regardless of the Musonda drama

Perhaps it has something to do with contract talks that didn't go too well.

If he leaves, it's time to stop being passive observers and finally, as a collective fanbase, many in person, officially protest.

Until then, the board & Roman are laughing at us donkeys, if they can even hear our internet posts in the first place (doubtful). In 2002, banners & chants would sort this out. In 2017, the majority will think forum & Twitter posts are doing something, and won't bring any energy to any other part of the game to trigger the change needed.

Sad affairs. The fans fault as much as the board's IMHO.

If Roman and the board listened to the fans Ranieri would have stayed and we would never have got Jose.

If Roman and the board listened to the fans Cudicini would have stayed in the team and Cech would have either never joined or quickly left after a year on the bench.

If Roman and the board listened to the fans we would have abandoned the signing of Hazard so it wouldn't ruin the development of Kakuta.

If Roman and the board listened to the fans AVB would have got given time alas no Champions League.

If Roman and the board listened to the fans Jose would have got unlimited time in 2015 to turn things around and Antonio Conte would probably the United manager right now.

Him being happy & avoiding mental health issues (I'd wager our youth players suffer from such more than any other club) is important. If you're neglected by your bosses,

Is that right? Christensen seems to disagree.

“Chelsea kept looking after me, getting the videos and texting every week and every day about how I was doing, Eddie Newton and Paulo Ferreira did a great job with me"

maybe he was expecting to get time ahead of a player performing horribly (willian), but poor senior players will always get the nod over talented players without a pricetag

That's the problem with Chelsea regardless of who's in charge. There is no reason Willian should be ahead of him right now IMO.

However, I disapprove of his Insta post. Do your talking on the pitch, training field, etc.

I think he got told to go back on loan to get some game time.
