Tractor_Saint Posted 14 August, 2009 Share Posted 14 August, 2009 Interesting - could this be the new CB signing? http://www.chelseafc.com/page/TheReservesProfiles/0,,10268~900399,00.html "A regular member of the England U19 squad.... Now in his third year, he is primarily an attacking midfielder but previously filled in at full-back and centre-back during 21+6 youth games in his first campaign" Otherwise (might be a stupid question) who's he been bought in to replace?

Saint Mikey Posted 14 August, 2009 Share Posted 14 August, 2009 Unless he's a right-winger, I find this strange. His profile lists him as an AM, surely Lallana is best placed for this position? Anyway, not grumbling about another addition, cos we need the numbers and I doubt we are paying anything for this kid. Just think there could be other areas we need to strengthen.

Anyway, not grumbling about another addition, cos we need the numbers and I doubt we are paying anything for this kid. Just think there could be other areas we need to strengthen. He's a right winger, used to play as an attacking right sided full back. So a good signing in a position we're short in. Well done Wilkins on this one...

Watching that it looks like he plays mostly in a central attacking midfield position. We've not really had anyone in the role in the two games to date with Schneiderlin being more of a playmaker and Wotton being the bruiser. I think it's a role that Lallana should be playing but his versatility seems him stuck out on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amsterdam Posted 14 August, 2009 Share Posted 14 August, 2009 Looks like a utility player to cover/put on subs bench for the first teamers.

qwertySFC Posted 14 August, 2009 Share Posted 14 August, 2009 With Pardew wanting other teams to fear us , mabe Jacob will be the real pace for Rickie ... looking more like AP & DW getting things in place for service for Rickie to be a goal machine for us.

On the fringes of the 1st team that is competing for Champions League, Prem and all cup competitions you would have thought a loan spell to the CCC would have done him more good. Why Chelsea are prepared to let him get knocked about in League 1 confuses me if he is that close to Prem football. Could just be that they hope he will turn out to be a 1st teamer for them but has allot to learn or they are dressing him up so they can ask for more money if we try and buy him in Jan. Not saying its not a good move for us but think some of the wording is more window dressing than anything else. We relied on a few loans last season, some worked and some didnt. Hopefully with the new owners we have a bit more room to filter out the chaff and just get the quality help we need. Looking better each week though so hopefully we will have a competitive team in time to push for playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
