Charly Musonda Jr.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Where can we watch him? Seen very little footage from him but what I saw was impressive.

Today's UCL Youth match was broadcast pretty much everywhere in the world so you can probably find a download link to the full match if you look. He played really well today. One of the best performances I've seen of him considering the level of the opponent and competition.

Level of potential, not style was my point, mate. [emoji6]

Yea I know, just preferred to talk about style :tophat:

[Stats 7,136]

Musonda's style is very different to Hazard's style. The way Musonda dribbles and moves with the ball is like Iniesta. Musonda's style is more a mix of Iniesta, Xabi, Fabregas.

The player similar to Hazard is Boga. It's actually VERY uncanny how similar Hazard's and Boga's style are!

In terms of RAW TALENT, they are the best two youngstars we have, then probably Traore and RLC. I would choose Boga over Musonda because/for the same reasons I would Hazard over Iniesta. Hopefully both reach their full potential and make it here; it would be mesmerizing.

Really? I would say he is like Hazard. The Iniesta links is there because of the close ball control and dribbling but don't see the Xavi and Fabregas connections at all. But I find Musonda and Boga quite similar. Boga is nust a bit more stocky but in terms of dribbling, creativity ad pace, they strike me as very similar. That is just my opinion.

The Xabi and Fabregas links are more about his approach to possession play and movement; he passes then quickly steps to side/back for a return pass, quickly recycling through possession. Even when he dribbles forward his game isn't about acceleration or pace. It's more of quick feet close control dribbles forward/sideways like Iniesta.

Whereas I see Boga utilizing more of acceleration and pace, control and balance when dribbling like Hazard. And his approach to possession play being first a square up and looking for a take on, again like Hazard.

It's all good (I simply love how he always controls the ball slightly to his left foot to give him options to choose, those are easily missed details that for me separate real gems from decent talents)

however how was his game from tactical point of view ? All those tracking backs, intelligent pressing, tenacity, maturity, responsibility. Tactical awareness at his best ! If he'd playing first team football then they'd say how developed tactically he is for his age !

One of the best display from that point from any youth player I've seen for years, especially by such quality player (and not the one who's work ethic is only positive thing). He's really matured player tactically. When you combines this with his natural other talents ... VERY GOOD future for this lad.

I rate Jeremie higher due to his superior physical features but I think they're on par in terms of natural talent (and some way above the rest)

They both are awesome prospects, curious where they will go next season. Charly already confirmed through instagram that this is his final year in the youth teams.

Good analysis No need to compare they could complement each other perfectly

What he said on instagram ? He gave a hint where he'll go ?

Him and Boga have both home-grown status now so for sure they're going on loan. I hope Chelsea choose their destination wisely and with great ground-research, without relying on loose promises like it is often a case. They simply can't fuck them up with some stupid planning, I wouldn't accept if they play the role of destroying such talents

As long as Charly Musonda doesn't end up in the English Championship/League 1, he'll be fine

No worries. Jorge Mendes is now his agent meaning he'll always get a good loan. Those two leagues you mentioned won't be good for him though.

This is what he said:

"Big games ahead in my final season of youth football I hope we can win titles again ⚽️✌️ grab your laptops and go watch the rest of the video on the CJR10 page"

Also a nice article on our youth from WAGNH: http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/4/11/8385597/chelseas-academy-xi

I don't agree with the comparison to Oscar and Fabregas though.

I don't get how RLC can be the highest rated player there ! Lol.

I fear because he's hyped, even in a poll he's head and shoulders above the rest, but people should be ready for slightly disappointment. He doesn't play consistently well for 2 year now. I rate him highly but not that much.

Also author thinks that Boga's best position is a winger and Musonda's a holder. Boga has to play as a number 10 not a winger, it's obvious Those comparison with Kakuta are stupid. He's French and black then of course he's the second coming of Kakuta, just like Zouma is the new Desailly (French and black). It's retarded. He has by far better tools for first team than Kakuta thanks to better strength and better standing on his feet. Their style of play is different. Boga has different movements in him, he's very direct. If the lack of tracking back has to kill such talent then screw this, let's sell him ASAP for good of the football.

And Musonda is replica of Iniesta. Fabregas ?

I don't see that long queue ahead of them. Oscar can be easily sold, Cuadrado looks very bad and Willian is still very unproductive in offence and already 27 in the summer. (Also Hazard can leave if he calls it a day)

And BTW if Isaih Brown is going to play first XI for Chelsea then we're screwed.

However I agree with assesments of many other players especially with Dasilva and Christiansen.

[The Skipper 20,609]

If all reach their potential, a front 6 of the following would be brilliant:

Solanke

(Hazard) - Musonda - Boga

RLC - (Matic)

Chelsea has the best youth team in the world! Charly got an applause substitution at the end of the game
