bethos1 802 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 he's very young, he could develop, but he's erratic, doesn't seem to have a brain and to top Ramires, he tries the flashy thing and 9 out of 10 times it doesn't work. Nathan is a lot like Piazon. Neat player, nothing beyond that. I rate that over a flashy Ramires.Meh nothing too be excited over then I guess, let's hope it turns out good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 that's some weird business. He's been with the guys in the tour, now he's playing, and the club even addresses him as a Flu player. Bizarre, lolAnd Chelsea account handler, it's FlumineNse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Bertrand Traoré played for us 2 years ago in pre-season when he wasn't officially a Chelsea player@ChelseaFC: Kenedy starts tonight after Fluminese gave him permission to play in tonight's game. Weird situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernej93 569 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I bet they also rate Ramires... Kenedy is Ramires in the wing through and through. So I'm sure there are fans.You compare his left foot rocket with Ramires? His biggest weakness is probably poor defensive contribution and you compare him with Ramires?He is fast, strong dribbler with powerful left foot but he is young and naive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hope we don't play defensively or passively against what is really a 50% strength Barca side.Definitely think our CB pairing may struggle with Suarez's movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Lol, really? Did you watch any of his games? You compare his left foot rocket with Ramires? His biggest weakness is probably poor defensive contribution and you compare him with Ramires?He is fast, strong dribbler with powerful left foot I did my homework recently about him. Watched a bunch of matches (which aren't many as he didn't play even that much).He dribbles - hence the flashy part of my post. He's raw on it, hence the part that it doesn't work out many times. Ramires is one of our fastest players, so the comparison stands. As for the power in his left foot, it needs some calibrating, but I'll give you that. You just proved my points further that he's a flashy Ramires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illmatic 901 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I don't know what surprise me more. If Kennedy starting, or that Mou doesn't parks the bus against Barca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Bertrand Traoré played for us 2 years ago in pre-season when he wasn't officially a Chelsea playerI know... Just saying its quite funny and unexpected to see him suddenly start without ever being announced by the club. For all we know, he might be officialy signed and not on "trial" like Traore was. Doubt he will stay with us for next season since I suspect he might have problems getting a work permit (?), so it seems kinda odd that José is giving him minutes and not players who will be in the team next season who probably need more gametime (Traore, Cuadrado, Remy, Willian etc ) . Well, Hope he does well and suprises everyone though .Edit: Seems like he actually is on some sort of trial here, odd one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I don't know what surprise me more. If Kennedy starting, or that Mou doesn't parks the bus against Barca.no parking at all, Kenedy can't remotely do what Willian does in the wing. Unless he learned it in a couple of weeks and wants to impress Mourinho (although he won't have a work permit). We're going pretty much open to the match with Cesc partnering with Matic, unless this is a 4-3-3 with Oscar playing deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If you guys ever need streams just go on YouTube, search for a match, and filter it to show "Live" results.I've watched both of our preseason matches and most of Copa America on YouTube streams. Fairly good quality most of the time and easier to find than most other streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Finally can see some preseason thats not highlights.Score, don't care. Just hope we are gelling well and show some positive sparks.I'm sure there will be people getting suicidal if we don't win 3-0 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 what if Kenedy finds his inner Marin tonight, LOL that would be legendary, stuff of legend indeed.While I think it makes sense to watch the kid with our players before signing him, if we have the chance, 1) for Flu to have agreed this while Brazilian league is going on, it's because it's a done deal and they're waiting whatever detail to make it official and announce it; 2) one match, in preseason shouldn't be parameter for anything, as Marin stands as our best preseason player I can remember in recent years, lolSo I don't get why we're doing this... although that would be the reasoning.
