They are drip fed rather than put on full solids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea4 1,521 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Ola Aina has praised Conte but not so much Mourinho. "I heard him a lot! It was really good. I would much rather have a manager telling me ‘Ola here, Ola there', than not hearing anything at all and being left in the dark. It was really good for me and playing on the left is normal for me as well." Igi26 and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abreu03 292 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's amazing the quality of that boy, raised the better side of the squad, plays well on both sides of the field. Chelsea has a great side for the future, and also for now. New Lahm, haha. jernej93 and Stats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I didn't see the game how did aina perform?? I heard reports he had a good game?? Despite shit opponent he was miles better than Ivan. Except how to fake a dive he is already a better footballer than Ivan.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Looked far better than he was in most of the youth games. Wasn't looking like the guy that can do something sloppy at any given moment. Encouraging but I'm looking forward to tougher test to give a verdict here.

ja1 1,166 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Really? I thought he's been performing for the first team like how he does for the youth team, and so I've been impressed with him. I actually think his skill set is quite unique for a full back. His close control and dribbling is very good, passing is accurate. Well balanced. Most full backs struggle with the ball when not given space and he makes his own space. Marcelo makes a similar impression on me, just for being so comfortable on the ball. Despite him using his ball control to get him out of dangerous situations facing his own goal he still has an air of dependability about him. If Ivan continues his dire form this season I think Aina has a good case for being a starting XI player if we don't buy another full back.  Bellerin ofc is a good example of RB going straight from U21 to starter.  bababoom, kellzfresh, The Skipper and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccg 1,528 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016  With Ivan out, Ola hopefully shows enough for Mr Conte to keep a hold of him and saves us afew £$,also he is homegrown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes at the stage Happy was when he entered the 1st team. Our defence is a complete shambles and it doesn't matter how shit hot the rest is, if we dont have a good defence then everyones going to take the piss out of us again. Been like this 2 years, bringing in wannabe. Time to get a couple of good defenders. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ideal situation would be Cesar with a new full back (be it right back or left back as I'm easy with Azpi on either side tbh) and Ola and Ivan as the squad options.

I wouldn'e even have Iva as an option in defence. Only time I would use him is if we had special teams like US football and use him in set pieces. Cahill too. Theyre just not fast enough for the Conte era. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Can we not move this thread into current players section not youth team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccg 1,528 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Yeah lets keep him on the right hand side of defence and get a new natural LB, Hector of Germany would do 4me.20mill should do it,im not sure who plays LB at CFC U21 etc(saw Ola afew times) but its better in all areas to have natural players in natural positions. eg Azpil does a decent job defending in LB position but gives very little in the attacking areas due to him being mostly right footed!
