Waterfall 893 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Gets no hype compared to other players, but really consistent and solid all-around francozola, Bosnian Blue, Muzchap and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I agree. He's not as naturally talented as McEachran/RLC/Chalobah but has really worked hard and improved his game this season. Best player in the reserves for me this past season (even over Boga, Feruz and Aké). I hope he gets as fair a chance as the RLC and Chalobah. Been performing for England U19s too. zolayes and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I agree. He's not as naturally talented as McEachran/RLC/Chalobah but has really worked hard and improved his game this season. Best player in the reserves for me this past season (even over Boga, Feruz and Aké). I hope he gets as fair a chance as the RLC and Chalobah. Been performing for England U19s too.I think the lack of hype around him is because he does not have the natural talent and technical ability of the likes of Chalobah/Josh/RLC doubts inevitably rise about his ability to take these performances to in the Reserves to the next level.

Styles 9,790 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I don't buy this 'not as naturally talented' talk at all. He's technically very good and unlike some of those other players mentioned he is very good with both feet.

Jusek 2,031 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Under-21 squad member Lewis Baker has today (Monday) signed a new three-year contract, keeping him at the club until 2016.http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3331409/title/baker-signs-new-contractWell deserved. Not much talk of him, but definitely talented lad with some leadership qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Certainly deserved after his performances in the NextGen last season. Would be interesting now to see if the club will send Lewis out on loan this season or keep him with the U21s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 It's one thing being two footed and making great passes but this dude takes set pieces with both feet too. I find that amazing. Is there anyone in the world that does that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I've never seen him do it but I think I remember an Arsenal fan saying Cazorla does it, not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Brilliant. Very under the radar talent but he's got good potential and is already a great leader. Hopefully he carries on his quiet development and surprises a few in a season or two or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusek 2,031 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just scored a free kick with his left foot against Soton. Also assisted a goal with left footed free kick. He's right footed btw.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Baker not included in the U21s today. Anyone think we might see him vs Swindon?Not me.He trained with the first team today. And Steve Holland said that one youth player will be with the team tomorrow. So I think it is likely that he will be on the bench tomorrow. Whether or not he actually plays is another story.

Stats 7,142 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Baker not included in the U21s today. Anyone think we might see him vs Swindon?Yes, possibly. Steve Holland confirmed that "there may be an opportunity for one young player to be involved for tomorrow".so realistically can only be Baker as he was not included for the U21. Would be amazing if he can get some minutes. Fully deserving of a first team call up. Was our best player for the reserves and youth cup run last season. Has added more goals to his game, two footed player literally. Takes corners and free kicks with both his left and right foot and is ever so consistent. Would be really good for him and for us as he has been at the club since he was 9 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I really like him.Whenever I saw him play for the U-21´s or in the NextGen Series last season,he was impressive.Maybe Mourinho gives him 20 minutes or so,if we lead comfortably.
