Let's hope it's a move Chelsea live to regret, look forward to the next under 21's game to see him in action.

His name is like a quote from The Wire.
Chelsea might own 3/4 of prem players but I'd rather we weren't dealing with them even at this level. Especially when Kane might be looking for a move in the summer.

I thought strikers we where stacked in the academy ?

At 19, you’d have thought a season loan would be where he’ll end up, Parrott, Devine and Scarlett are better off playing for lower league sides than our U-23’s.

you wonder if the under 23s is worth keeping unless you are playing players up age groups, really loans or sales with a massive percentage in our favour would produce more talent

I think that’s exactly what they use it for, I’d expect Donely and Lanksear(not sure of those two’s exact spelling) getting game time there next season.

Harvey White nearly made the breakthrough this season and Skipp has been a bit involved, but I think they’d have both been better off playing league football, championship level or wherever they are wanted.

I don't really watch any youth football, but this kid definitely has something about him.
