“I have to say it as I see it,” Lampard said. “I know Callum’s talent and he has got huge talent. Hence why the club were so keen to get him signed up [to his new contract]. We’re all delighted with that. But there’s a lot of work for Callum to do. Lots of work.

“You can look around and look at fantastic examples and not even at this club.

“I don’t like to talk about other club’s players but Raheem Sterling is an incredible example of a player with great talent, whose work ethic added to that talent and improvement in a short period of time through absolute dedication, has seen him become a complete player, who we are all wowed by.

“He is a great model for Callum because Callum has those talents. I want him to be the absolute best because he has the potential to do that and some of it is about hard truths and I saw some hard truths in the game the other day – ways that he can improve. He needs to listen to them and he will. Then he can be that player for us.”

Fantastic player.

 

Looks to have lost a bit of his pace though. Hopefully its more of a matter of getting fit again, and not from him trying to bulk up.

He is so young, he can still get faster by plyometric training etc would not worry. If it is not because of his achilles tendon, any muscle imbalances will surely be outgrown at some point.

I am not so sure if he has lost some of his pace. In one recent youth game, his pace seemed pretty good. Obviusly, it is not as good as his speed last season, but I think that after couple of months training, he will be as fast as last year. His tendon needs to get back to 100% and then his muscles he lost needs to get back to his old strenght

140 minutes on the pitch 1 goal and two assists. This guy always makes a difference! And all of this after long recovery from horrible injury. Just the beginning...

This weekend should be his first PL start in my opinion. He is a difference maker. Should be a massive addition

Don't think so. The carabao cup, sub against Brighton and today.

The way he bullied the Lille player 

In Hudson Odoi I think Chelsea have a raw diamond that I truly believe will turn into a world class player. Not only he is a total baller, but there is something about him that makes me think he is destined for great things, it's his charisma that stands before all other things.

Years back you looked at Januzaj and although some skill was there, you simply could not see it in him, or at least I could not. He looked like an introvert type of guy, nervy, there was nothing about his attitude to make you think he will make it, he was plain boring.

Hudson Odoi is none of this, he got swag, he is good looking, it looks to me he's got things very settled in his head and knows very well what he's capable of and the heights he could hit. 

If he indeed is going to reach the heights I believe he will, then I think he will also reach the C. Ronaldo level of hate, he is simply too charismatic to be the type of guy that everybody enjoys watching, he will sure be loved by Chelsea fans and completely hated by others, no matter he'll be winning games for England or not, simply because of his insane skill, looks, charisma, Chelsea DNA etc.

Confirmation from a member of the team that CHO was training like a beast but being held back.because we had a manager who wanted to wait 5 years to trust him.

Quote

"The club have done so much for me and I'm so thankful for that," he told BBC Sport.

"The decision that I made was a very good one for me and my family. We all thought that it was the right club to be at.

"I've been here all my life, so there's no need to change yet. My mum and dad are happy where they are and I'm happy where I am."

Well...

Well... 

Well he certainly took his time to decide to renew. Again a lot of talking but a young guy who is still learning, maybe just let your football do the talking and get on with it.... plenty of opportunities for him now again to kick on and show his worth but for saying the club have done a lot for him and whatever else he is coming out with he would of renewed a lot lot sooner in my opinion.

Notice the "odd" word or sentence there?
