DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Rhys Taylor has replaced the injured Lewis Price in Wales' squad to face Georgia in Swansea on 20 August. The uncapped Chelsea goalkeeper, 18, has yet to make a senior appearance at Stamford Bridge and had been in the Under-21 squad to face Romania. Derby goalkeeper Price was forced out with a cartilage injury. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/i...als/7556448.stm Good news for the lad. Shows he must be coming along quite nicely.

EskWeston 696 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 He has done well in the last couple of years, particulary last season. I believe he is training daily with the first team keepers at the moment which will help him a lot, hopefully he will get a run out for wales also. But 18 is still very very young especially for a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,363 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Will give him a lot of confidence , he will feel his status enhanced. International Chelsea Keeper at 18 -dream come true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, i am sure he feels on top of the world at the moment, being involved with the first team, i believe he was part of the fan training day which would have been a big experience for him.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Absolutely fantastic for the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 I dont think he trains daily with the first team yet, but I think he is involved quite often when they play in-training games, and shooting drills. Works with Mark Beeney on a daily basis I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 5,343 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thats great news for Rhys, i cant see him ever becoming our first team keeper because of Petr but he'll gain vital experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lampards Bitch Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) As Esk said he was at the open day training. I have seen him play a few times and he looks good. I hope all goes well for Rhys next week. Edited August 14, 2008 by Lampards Bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo814 1 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Great news for him. Learning from Cech and Cudicini has got to be a dream in itself for him, let alone a sr. squad intl. cap, even if it is for Wales. I like the fact that we are actually developing some talent instead of buying it in. I hope he stays healthy and doesn't let it all go to his head...
