24. Reece James

[Yeboii 1,844]

Such positive news!

Hoping for new deals for Lamptey and Abraham with a loan moves/more first team games for Gilmour, Anjorin and Maatsen!

[Nicco 927]

So happy with this, one of my favorites players in the team

I'm absolutely delighted for the lad, deserved contract, may he continue to grow and develop here for years to come  

[1905didierblue 748]

So happy for him and the club. 

Great news. Now we should get Tammy done.

Btw, who all have we tied long term? RLC, Reece, mount, Cho. The core and spine seems to be taking shape.

Any news on his injury? Huge blow if he's out for any real period of time.

No word from Lampard. 

Looked like a dead leg? Newcastle player kneed him in the quad.

What a player this guy is and will continue to develop into an even more beast, exciting talent no doubt. My favorite player in the team after Jorginho.

Going to be a shame for England this summer. TAA and James both offer a lot of creativity that virtually no English midfielder has to offer.

James RCB, Trent RWB.

Using a back three you mean? That's how Jody found room for both Reece and Tariq Lamptey in the U18s.

Yeah I think that's the best way to combat the lack of creativity/overall quality in the centre as it is so with two top class right sided players seems to make sense.

Not sure who they can play on the left though, Chilwell doesn't do enough going forward to make it as a wingback. Maybe Saka from Arsenal?

I always thought Chilwell is known for his offensive output but is liability in defence? 🤔

From what I've seen he's okay in defense (not recently) but doesn't offer a great deal going forward. He had that spell in and around the 9-0 when his attacking productivity shot up but that's looking like an Emerson in August like fluke as opposed to a natural growth to another level.

As a wingback I don't think he would cut it.

I was impressive about his lack of quality today. Reality check. The worst performance Ive seen from a Chelsea player in a European game. Looked like a school boy playing against men.
