Christian Atsu

[Madmax 9,219]

Says the fact that he went on tour with us. He did have a great preseason and his talent is undoubted, but he's still very very 'rough' and needs a lot of work. Especially off the ball. Vitesse couldn't play him as a winger because of that and he ended up as a striker.

Going on preseason means sweet fuck all. Traore is what, 18-19 and a reserves/youth player while Atsu has been at Porto. Don't know how anybody could consider Traore a better prospect. That's not taking anything away from Traore or his talent, of course.

You should really have a look in the Traore thread and see the comments there Some people wanted him thrown right into the first team when he got his license!

Interesting article

Give them Musonda and Boga next year, I want to see what they can do.

What he said made sens, but should not tell that in public

[Amblève. 4,995]

Albeit it's been posted a couple of days ago on the official Chelsea HP, he's included in the provisional WC squad for Ghana.

Let's face it, this guy was never bought to be part of our team. Buy cheap, hope he impresses on loan, sell for £10m. It's like printing money.

He offers something different to our team....I would not be surprised to see Jose keep either Atsu or Piazon next season as squad depth..

I'm probably off but Atsu reminds me of what Malouda could have been if he was used as a hybrid winger-midfielder. Pacey, good technique, great dribbling, defensively aware. Not a player that will "wow" you but one that is solid allround and efficient in his actions.

Malouda .. when he was good he was very very good ,,but when he was bad he was FUCKING AWFUL

If he were to be in the squad or next season, what will happen to Salah?

Jose mentioned that Salah plus 1 of our loanees would make up the six to go to war next season

[Xtraxion 100]

Best player on the pitch imo right now.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

Shown some flashes..he certainly knows how to find space..some crosses need to be better but that goes for our first team regulars too..one for the future maybe...tho there's alot of competition for places under contract for us.

Ive always thought we should get Gronkjaer back to coach crossing

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Once again he looks a valuable asset to have.

This made me smile in real time

[zolayes 14,489]

getting hammered by the "expert pundits " so he must be ok ,,,,

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

Atsu needs playing time...being Chelsea's 6th attacking midfielder will do f*ck all for his development

At least if we loan him out to a more competitive league (Germany maybe?) and he does well, it would increase his 'value' in the market
