Callum Hudson-Odoi

[DDA 9,924]

HANDS OFF!!!!

[DDA 9,924]

If we even consider selling CHO I will seriously go fucking ape shit.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

He's only got contract till 2020 so not much we can do about it. i can so see him tearing bundesliga apart so better fucking make him sign a new one. If we lose both Hazard and CHO with Willian and Pedro staying i will lose all faith in the club.

ATM it is 60% (maybe more) the scenario most likely to happen. Combine that with 2 years of transfer bans and no activity this January, it will send the club down to a mid table spiral.

Been warning of all this since well before I joined here 11 months ago.

The incredible fails in the incoming (poor players in plus failures on crucial buys due to botched negotiations ie. Nainggolan, Alex Sandro, Romagnoli, Sergi Roberto, Icardi, etc etc) transfer market and selling market (De Bruyne, Salah, Costa, etc) are catching up to us.

The board is shit. Devastatingly bad record. It won't change until we are sold. It isnt like Roman is a brilliant self-made billionaire. His fortune, after numerous fails, is due to uber corrupt inside deals during the post-communist liquidation of state assets for pennies-on-the-pound prices. In the past 8 or so years, he has lost over 60% of his net wealth. He is now a huge target to be destroyed by the US/UK/NATO empire due to his ultra close ties to Putin.

The ex-Sibneft crew runs Chels, especially now. They do not know football to an acceptable level. Time to sell.

I know much of what I say about Abramivich is heresy in certain parts, but it is all true. It isn't rocket science to background it.

Sorry but if hs goes to Bayern he'll be on the bench. Hed get more minutes there than here but 1000% he is behind Coman and Gnabry if he goes there.

Hudson-Odoi not ready for Premier League says Sarri

Hudson-Odoi could join Dortmund in January

https://www.101greatgoals.com/news/chelseas-hudson-odoi-could-join-dortmund-in-january/

Callum Hudson-Odoi is one of the hottest prospects currently honing his craft at Chelsea.

The 18-year-old has made 31 appearances for Chelsea’s under-18 side, in which he has scored 16 and assisted 10.

Hudson-Odoi has also played 21 times for Chelsea’s under-23 side, scoring 11 and assisting six in that time.

The young attacker has also already made nine appearances for Chelsea’s first-team.

Five of those nine games came this season under Chelsea’s new boss, Maurizio Sarri.

Hudson-Odoi’s most impressive display for Chelsea came in the Europa League vs PAOK Thessaloniki.

Chelsea would come away 4-0 winners and Hudson-Odoi would score one and assist one.

 

After his impressive display vs PAOK, many people expected Sarri to start giving Hudson-Odoi a chance in the league.

However, Sarri has stated that he is not ready to play in the Premier League:

“I don’t know if he is able for the Premier League at 18, especially in a big team.

“If he’s already ready now to make a difference in the team like Chelsea, he would be the best player in Europe in two years.”

 

Dortmund want Callum Hudson-Odoi in January

However, Borussia Dortmund clearly do not agree with Sarri’s assessment of Hudson-Odoi as they are reportedlygoing to try and sign the youngster in January.

Hudson-Odoi’s current deal runs out in 2020 and with his first-team chances limited at Chelsea, he could well be open to a move to Germany.

Dortmund have already had great success poaching young English talent from big clubs as they signed Jadon Sancho from Man City.

At just 18 years of age, Sancho is a key member of Dortmund’s first-team who currently sit top of the Bundesliga.

Sancho has scored seven and assisted 10 in 24 games this season and it seems Dortmund are hopeful of having similar success with Hudson-Odoi.

Chelsea are said to be trying to tie down Hudson-Odoi to a new five-year deal. But unless his game time is increased, Hudson-Odoi will unlikely be willing to stay at Stamford Bridge.

I have to LOL at this:

“I don’t know if he is able for the Premier League at 18, especially in a big team.

 

WTF does he think DORTMUND is??

They have a puncher's chance at winning the CL this year, they are a clear top of table in the Bundesliga.

They play YOUTH, real youth all the time, including many of their key players.

Ridiculous statement. 

[Hamilton 2,120]

Starting to lose faith in Sarri with such shit comments. So CHO is not ready, but he keeps on playing Pedro and Willian who are garbage on most games all season..

Chelsea reject Borussia Dortmund offer to swap Pulisic and Hudson-Odoi 

https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2018/12/23/18153665/chelsea-reject-borussia-dortmund-offer-to-swap-pulisic-and-hudson-odoi-report

By all indications, Chelsea are continuing to push hard for the signing of young American Soccer God Christian Pulisic, but are hoping to do so without losing the even younger and potentially even more talented Callum Hudson-Odoi in the process. As recent rumors have claimed, Chelsea’s plans call for Pulisic on the right (replacing at least half the Willian-Pedro combination) and Hudson-Odoi on the left (as Eden Hazard’s successor). And that would certainly be ideal.

But real life tends not to work out ideally. Hudson-Odoi appears no closer to consistent playing time (he didn’t even feature in the League Cup in midweek!) and thus no closer to signing his contract extension. With only 18 months left on his current deal, the sharks are circling, looking for a tremendous bargain. Bayern are at the top of that food chain, but apparently Juventus and Real Madrid are keeping an eye on the situation as well.

Also keeping an eye are Borussia Dortmund themselves, who may have even proposed a swap of Pulisic and Hudson-Odoi. That’s the claim from Goal’s Nizaar Kinsella, adding that Chelsea rejected the offer and will be hoping to finally convince Hudson-Odoi to sign his extension in January.

Again we get a manager that does not do youth.

Our board are truly lost. I'm pretty certain at this point that they have nobody actually doing their homework on managers and players ect. It's as if they see who's the current flavour of the month and go with that. Zero long term planning.

[Superblue 6,372]

Really don't want to see someone of his potential leaving.

Perhaps the club can come to a compromise if he signs a new long term deal, they'll agree to loan him out to a club for 18 months and get some serious game time, whether that's a Bundesliga or lower Prem team. 

We dropped the ball with Loftus-Cheek with regards to taking so long before we loaned him out and we'll be lucky if it all works out and he forces his way in as a first team regular. You have to believe that another season or two of first team experience for RLC, he'd be such a far more polished and tactically solid player for us. 

CHO still has time on his side but there are similarities where he is on the cusp of the first team but not playing. And being involved in the first team squad is meaning he isn't getting games from any of the other groups at the club. The idea of 1 step back for 2 steps forward may need considering in the club's benefit of CHO's development.

They have always been POOR at talent judging and buys. The initial 3 years of giant spends were partially directed by Mou, at least the last 2 of the 3. Dont forget thr two biggest buys of Romans first year were Veron and Crespo! BUST and super costly ones. It didnt take a genius to buy an Ashley Cole or a Drogba or a Makélélé. Lampard and Terry were already there.

But look at all the other HUGE busts they had back then. Shawn-Wright Phillips, Shevchenko, Torres later on!  Boswinga cost over 30m quid in todays money! Yuri Zhirkov the same.

They got lucky with Eden. But then more busts. Cuadrado, Malouda, Baba Rahman, Felipe Luis, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Bats, Morata, etc etc. And the idiotic sales! OMG. Robben, De Bruyne, Salah, etc etc. Overall they have had huge wastes of money, and as players get more expensive, their errors are compounded. So many donkeys over last 15 years, some massively costly. Dont even get me started on the botched transfers.

A billion quid clown car. No other remotely team has nearly as much deadwood as we do. It is madness that it has gotten to this point.

Whilst I agree with everything you said bar Malouda because he at least had one immense season under Carlo, above all we have to accept that despite all of these retarded decisions made by the board... we have won a cabinet full of trophies. Weird how football works, isn't it!
