Callum Hudson-Odoi

[LAM09 7,043]

Nothing to do with no nonsense, the reason why the club took a "no nonsense" stance on Solanke was the fact he wasn't good enough nor had the potential to be, Odoi by comparison is arguably our best winger currently and has elite potential.

The bar is at such a standard. [emoji849]

I've yet to see anything "elite" about him. Kudos to those that have seen his immense talent, though.

He played today as a LW where he is at its best. Played a very good first half. He started his second half slow and made some bad passes. After 5 , he got back to his rhythm and played made some good passes and crosses. In second half, he had a pretty free role. He was often seen in the middle of the pitch, but also on the right side of the pitch.

The most important thing was that he is still very fast. That was my only concern. He played 60 minutes and then beast Anjorin came

Speaking for myself of course, but I usually look for quickness in general. How quickly a player gains control of the football (first touch) and then, assuming he has good technique, how quickly he can make use of his good technique. That shows how natural he is with the ball at his feet.

The final pass and/or finishing is the tricky part because even the talented youngsters may not have that well-developed yet. Power, positioning, decisions, and concentration, are typically things they will have to develop still.

So, for me Cho’s quick feet and good technique make him a very good prospect, even if there is risk in betting so much on him. There is always a risk.

I understand you, Im not happy about all of this either, but thats just the way football is nowdays.
We can always say no and he becomes next "Mbappe or Sancho" in Bayern, Liverpool etc.

Or another Solanke...

Bro, Solanke should not be mentioned in the same discussion as Odoi. Callum is light years ahead of average.

They both wanted more money. I'll continue to compare [emoji6]

England forward Callum Hudson-Odoi, 18, will seal a new five-year deal at Chelsea after returning from injury. (Sun on Sunday)

Did not know he had injured his signing hand as well.

Think when this deal is finally signed most of us will have aged at least 3 years. How in the fuck has it taken this long...? We are normally pretty efficient in tying players down with new contracts (Luiz, Pedro, Ruben, Zappacosta, Giroud, Mason, whomever else in the last year and a bit alone)...

Who knows what is happening behind closed doors, could be further negotiation about wage, assurances over game time or other clauses. Could be Chelsea wanting to see how he recovers from his injury before agreeing megamoney contract with the kid. Who knows.

Erm, new deal finally confirmed?

Seems the stage now where it's 99% done, like when they announce teams have agreed terms on a transfer.
