Scored another 2 this afternoon in a 4-2 victory over WBA. Now reading that he is on 16 goals and 10 assists for the season. What a season he has had for a CM including making his first team debut applr.gif

Hopefully a loan at a championship team is on the cards for next season.

Full highlights if anyone is interested:

If I'm not mistaken, this is the match that guaranteed we finish the regular season on top of the U21 table (and obviously we qualify for the play-offs). That's really remarkable considering that all our best U21 players are out on loans!

Baker shows we have amazing academy but bad first team integration...

As much as I hope to see RLC-Baker at some point, I dont expect it. The board, owner, expectations, coach, playing style, history tells there wont be much chance for the likes like Baker, RLC, Feruz,...

I hope he makes it though

Fact is England youth setup is the bigger problem. There need to be a Chelsea B team, its hard to integrate players when you are relaying on other teams to help and develop our kids to make the jump. Simply being at the mercy of other teams to develop our players is pretty shitty.

Another problem is that academy plays completely diferent style of football than senior team. Different philosophy etc. One reason why Barca or Ajax academies are great is because youth and senior players play in same system and style.
