Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I still don't get where the CTV guys took this idea that Boga is in any way similar to Romário.He could end up being one day, but this video of yours just prove how at the moment they have a few small similarities to them, but in general one doesn't remind me of the other at all.Agreed!Boga looks more like Del Piero to me in terms of style. Hard to really draw accurate comparisons this early into his development.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqoMlIrSpEo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonlol 154 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 How does it work now? lets say if mourihno is totally blown out of the water by him, can this guy play 4 the first team or does he have to sign some professional contract first?

Popular Post! LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 25, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 25, 2014 Del Piero & Aguero comparisons come out. Come on guys, let's be calm here. Boga's impressed and all credit to him, but these comparisons are premature and becomes the reason we then turn our backs on these players. We put them on a pedestal too early.

Not for me. And besides what's wrong with projecting what type of player a near 18yr old could potentially be? Are we to wait until he's 27 to make a prediction?Nobody's putting any unjust expectations on him, he looks a fantastic prospect whether he reaches his potential is completely up to him.

Popular Post! Madmax 9,219 Posted July 25, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 25, 2014 Pre season performances go both ways - if Zouma and Salah shouldn't be judged too harshly, Boga and Baker or whoever shouldn't be put on a pedestal either; I'm already seeing tags like 'world class talent' being thrown around. Before anyone chips in with how amazing he could turn out to be, I agree he is a real prospect,has been so for a couple of years and doesn't need a goal against Wolfsberger to confirm that, but it's not a bad idea to temper the hype/expectations before we see something concrete developing on the first team front.

How about instead of Del Piero/Aguero, he'll be the new Jeremie Boga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Boga = Blunt in portuguese. Just thought I'd throw it out there.Boga = ass hole (as in the hole in the ass, not the jerk) in Brazilian portuguese, carrying on the previous discussion about similarities between the language here and in Portugal.Not sure if there's another meaning though Ainsley Harriott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 No point getting too attached now. Kakuta also got the same hype about a few years ago but sadly couldn't make it. My advice would be to stay calm and wait for Jose to give a few first team starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 No point getting too attached now. Kakuta also got the same hype about a few years ago but sadly couldn't make it. My advice would be to stay calm and wait for Jose to give a few first team starts.Kakuta was always a headless chicken to me to be honest. Pace is fine at youth level, but Boga has a bit more about him than that, naturally creative and such. He could do well if he works hard.

mufilika 101 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Was very good for the U21s against Everton today, he scored a brace too. This kid is just incredible. zolayes, Yeboii and Stats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 In my opinion its not about how good you do for the U21s, its about how good you do for the first team if you get a chance. Josh and Gael Kakuta looked brilliant players at U21 level but where are they now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think this kid is different. I hope in the cups he can play some games. And next season maybe he can be in the team.It would be great. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
