As a Chelsea fan , I'm really worried about our youngsters. Let's take the centre back position for reference : Cahill can continue for 2-3 years , so his starting spot is assured. And for the other spot , we have Kalas , Zouma and Omeruo. Not many would've heard of the latter , but if you'd watched the confed cup , you will know he's destined for greatness. And we also have Christensen who is 2 years younger than the 3. So outta the 4 , 2 have to miss out or go on a cycle of loans which will hinder their development. Certainly the ones which are picked for loan will force a transfer and I believe all of them will haunt us in the future if we let go of them.
I was confident initially, but I looked at your injury list midnight yesterday, and it seems Baines is now injured as well, joining Mirallas, Distin, Jagielka on the sidelines? Plus Barry is ineligible too, so can only really see this heading one way.. Hope to god I'm wrong though.

Wait, why did you even sign Lacina Traore?

In all honesty , Haz.T is very good , I'd say almost as good as Oscar. Thorgan can become one of the world's best in a few years , and the same applies to Piazon. I am not sure about Atsu and Bertrand Traore , but I've heard the former can be a solid squad player while the latter can become very , very good. The problem is similar to the one I mentioned at CB , too many promising youngsters. Haz , Willy , Oscar look immovable from their spots in the XI , so we have to sell some of the young guns , who will surely reach stardom. And from what I've seen , none of these guys are like Kakuta. They work really , really hard.

In all honesty I'd give people 10/1 odds on you ever having seen him play in a competitive match.

I have no clue on those odds and evens. But I have watched him a couple of times for Belgium and Chelsea u-21. I've watched some highlights of him as well on YT , so I can safely say he's pretty talented !

Two times and YT is nothing.
If that were the case I'd be an expert on every single player in Europe.

IMHO watching Scout Nation HD-like channels is pretty good , cause I feel it is pretty comprehensive.
