With so many people mentioning Oscar lately I thought I'd throw another name into the mix is Joao Moutinho. We probably don't have interest but if Oscar continues his inconsistency he would be a great player to replace him. His passing and work rate was a joy to watch when Monaco beat arsenal and he's also quite good defensively. But obviously I really would prefer to see Loftus-Cheek do really well.

sorry but to everyone biging loftus cheek up I don't think he will make it at chelsea
{Ed018's Note - whys that?}

There are opinions & then there is just pure negativity & it's putting me off coming on this site now! What makes you an expert to say he won't make it? I doubt very much he would of even gotten on the bench for us if the best manager in the world didn't think he would be good enough!
{Ed018's Note - at least let him explain his reasoning behind it}
07 Mar 2015 06:44:13
There's no possible explanation for that comment mate
{Ed018's Note - I for one believe he will be apart of the first team next season and that he has the potential to be an outstanding midfielder but I'd like to hear why a Bluekaz doesn't think he will make it at Chelsea}

RLC is really good but I for one just got handed to by my brother, he listed over ten players in the last couple of years that I boasted where going to come from our Academy and tear the world apart but sadly none of them did for one reason or the other, Bluekaz has his reason and I'm sure he'll happily eat some humble pie, but I for one I'm just going to wait and see.
With that said Boga, RLC, Solanke, Ake and Bamford at least the first two for me have to, if they are good enough they have to push for it and signing players like Pogba or Icardi or whoever shouldn't halt their progress it could be a positive on do many levels plus Ake and RLC for example could take mikel and ramires spot assuming we get a midfielder.
Here's to hoping.

I agree with you Ed. I'd honestly stick him I'm a 3 man midfield in a premier league game. He'll also have Matic to guide him through he looked like a steam train going through the middle against sporting.
07 Mar 2015 09:44:34
heres my reasoning 1)ive beeen a chelsea fan for many years now and whilst i'm sure RLC is a wonderful player but the stats don't lie no youth player has come through since Terry what about mcceachran? a few years ago he was tipped as 'the next big thing' but faded away. or kakuta another big sensation
2) jose has never been one for playing youths and him being on the bench is good but not a huge achievement. in all honesty I believe and I pray that i'm proved wrong because I like the look of the kid but we may end upo like united and pogba and let an immense talent leave due to the amount of polayers we already have, I mean come on if we sign pogba or another cdm where would rlc play or fit in and he can only stay on the bench for so long
so excuse me for not getting excited because I for one have seen it all before and I fear I will see it all again
{Ed002's Note - (a) Chelsea have a number of players they expect to come through from the Academy in the coming seasons. (b) Loftus-Cheek, Ake and Christensen have all appeared this season.
Pogba did not leave Manchester United because of the number of players they had.}
07 Mar 2015 12:17:51
but my point is we always have players on the verge but they never seem to break through maybe this will change with ake and rlc and others but i'm not holding my breath tbh
07 Mar 2015 14:48:47
Yea but there's no need to be negative bluekaz. It doesn't help, you look at failed prospects Kakuta and McEachran both never had the power or dominated under 21 games like Ruben has.
07 Mar 2015 15:54:31
im not being negative but I think we should all calm down a bit and once they are playting and getting minutes regularly we can get excited

Please, name one player except John Terry who made it in last 11 years.
