Wondering people's opinion on how highly do you rate our youngsters and do you think there's a chance of them stepping up? The main ones I'm curious about is Christensen, Ake, Baker, Loftus-Cheek and Chalobah. Personally I think Ake and Baker will be the main two if any. Christensen has been great in Germany but I think that league suits his style of play more.

I think Musonda and Kenedy will be top talents too. I think if they all work hard they'll definitely make it in top teams if not with us.

I would like to see Loftus-Cheek out on loan with a Championship team getting regular game time and with a strong manager, say Brighton. At the moment his laconic style doesn't sit well at Chelsea and he needs to liven up. Christensen I agree, German football suits him and I have never been overly impressed when he steps outside. Ake and Chalobah I have always liked but I get that feeling that they are going to have to further their careers elsewhere. Now, Lewis Baker I like and think he can go somewhere. His Rotherham and Huddersfield loans are doing him the world of good and another season with a small Premiership team would be perfect. I think he has more about him than Bats although in fairness to him, he has not had a decent run for anyone to really say yes or no; obviously he is not catching the eye of Conte in training.

Baker will be in the squad for next year but two clubls, Bournemouth and Brighton ( if they get promoted) have declared an interest in taking RLC on loan!

Lewis Baker has been on loan at Vitesse the past two seasons C1915. I think your mistaking him for Issy Brown.

@C1915 I think you're mistaking Lewis Baker for Izzy Brown.

Personally at this rate none of them will become first team players at Chelsea, because of the amount of players we have and the lack of rotating within the squad. Loan deals are good for experience but all that happens is, they come back to Chelsea and sit on the bench (like ake) these players need to be playing most of the time like dele Ali and Marcus rashford.

Also I would to see Traore and obviously Abraham get into the team along with rlc chalobah baker Kenedy musonda and ake.

I think most of the names mentioned have the qualities to make it at Chelsea. It'll boil down to patience and attitude - not following the same route as Solanke.

Ake and Baker will be playing for a top team in the future no doubt. I have a feeling Chalobah will be around the Chelsea first team squad for years to come but I'm not sure if he'll ever be a regular starter for us. I haven't seen much of Christensen but he must be doing something right with all the rave reviews. I suspect Brown, Abraham and RLC will be very good premier league players but maybe not at Chelsea or another top team.

Gentlemen above: My apologies, I meant to say Izzy Brown and I feel LEWIS BAKER should go on loan in the Championship or better as I do not think the Dutch league is strong enough to develop our players for more than one season.
