Callum Hudson-Odoi

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

He's 100%  gone, if he wants to go... he will go. Club never stands in players way if they don't want to stay ie. Matic, Oscar, Ramires, Costa, Courtois etc...

We would have stood in the way of both the latter two had they not acted up the way they did. in fact, we did just that with Hazard.

Perhaps but if Real agreed a deal we would of let Eden go 100%. If the deal suits the club any player is available in all honesty.

This situation is everything that is wrong with the club.

Not trusting youth, not giving chances, slow in handling the deals, always waiting for the last minute. 

I get City didnt play Sancho, but they had top players on wings. We have jack shit and Odoi still doesnt get a sniff. 

But IMO its not even about playing time. Its about trust. Odoi is our biggest talent and I havent seen one bit of club doing anything to show any faith in him. Buying players like Pulisic,...sure a good player, but what does it tell Odoi? Big middle finger.

Odoi knows club will always prefer shit out of form Willian compared to him. And they will always buy foreign players that will get instant privilege ahead of Odoi. Odoi might get a game or two, but regardless how he plays, he will sit next game because his name isnt Willian.

If he leaves, I totaly understand. Hopefuly he stays, but move to a club with trust in youth might give massive boost to his career.

I dont blame Odoi, but the board. Fucking pathetic. 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Also I find it hilarious that Sarri keeps saying "we are short on options, Odoi injured etc" Pointing at Odoi injury in every interview. Just how convenient that Odoi got injured and suddenly we are out of depth. As if pre injury he was always playing or in plans, right? 

How many games he didnt even make the bench and wasnt injured? 

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

I get the outrage about him not getting a chance here but hes hardly going to waltz into Bayerns starting 11 in the next 18 months either. Or Juventus' 11. He has huge potential obviously but you would think this guy is prime Messi reading some posts. It is a shame after a promising pre-season he doesnt get more of a look in but such is our record with youth I am genuinely surprised anybody is shocked. The game against Watford he was poor, timid... he played better last season under Conte in the game time he got, looked more confident too. Further proof he can still improve here rather than Bayern. I think his minds made up though.

Regardless of how much he has or hasn't played, he has been a member of the first team squad since the start of the season so obviously if he's injured it will be reported.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Really hope if he goes we won't see him back in a few years at another club.... Again!

We can easily outprice Bayern and Juventus. If wr offer him the better  package he would  be mad to leave everything behind for worse conditions.

After watching Zolas press. . . I am a lot more positive on our stance with Odoi. We obviously don't want to lose him, it's now up to him if he wants to leave. That bloody Sancho is the worse thing that happened to aid this situation. Little twat.

Reiss Nelson too.

My Goodness, look at the space they have to operate in over there in Germany. It seems Odoi wants his very own highlight reel for youtube.

I honestly do NOT get the the outrage about him no getting minutes. OK maybe there is a point about Cups, but not PL. He's 18 and not nearly at the level of the senior players at a club like Chelsea.

If he has indeed already agreed with Bayern and is not going to sign an extension, then do NOT sell him. Drop him to the youth team and let him rot there for an year and a half. Sometimes it's more important to show to the other players and the next CHOs that the club can play hardball.

There are a lot of players at his age that show as much potential as he does, or more. The development from now on will determine what he will do in football... forcing an exit at 18 is definitely NOT a good start.

It's interesting to know if he is really forcing a move away or has expressed frustrstion about the lack of minutes he is getting. I just can't see him being too big for his boots, especially after an interview post victory win against POAK. He scored and assisted one saying, "I had to pinch myself, it was a dream come true. To do this for my boyhood club". He obviously wants to play but I don't think this one is over yet. The journo breaking all the news in relation to Byern is Hogstein... he must be a Byern agent or some shit.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Yeah he did seem humble and grateful. If somewhere else is willing to definitely give minutes then can't blame him for having head turned.

I think part of this is CHO using Bayern's interest as a bargaining chip.

If he stays now in many ways he becomes a £40m player, which will put a bit more onus in him getting squad player minutes minimum, something i imagine him and especially his agent are aware off.
