Loli'm sure poch will put pay to that next year.

But wouldn't that suggest that Aurier has less upside cause we're aware what his level is when playing against adults? (based on 250 career games)
I'm sure everyone is aware of Chelsea winning their 5th FAYC in a row. An incredible achievement. Shame they haven't managed to successfully bringing many (any bar Christensen) through yet properly. Maybe they just aren't good enough as I can't imagine any other reason the managers don't select them.
Anyway since the start of the run, they have only lost 2 games, against us and Fulham, and have only gone ONE game where they didn't score, and that was our 2-0 win at WHL in 2015, when Onomah was playing like a mad man and was all over the place, and CCV put in one of the best CB displays I've seen at youth level. That was a great game and really good age group to watch with the 1882 mob.
One of the hardest games they evidently game across. Just thought I'd post as A) I saw it on twitter and thought it was an incredible run by Chelsea that deserves recognition and B) because it shows how impressive that victory was that night against such a formidable opponent.
Imho Skipp is bring over hyped. He is good, but not great. Obviously I want to see him make it, but come on. TOB is another one.
They are not like the Onomah’s and KWP coming through, who we all had eyes in as special players at same age. Skipp does not do that to me.
Special thanks to Dinzeyi for paying for my season ticket. City were 3/4
binks misses out on england's euro u17 squad so our only player there is parrott.
Cheers, was just about to ask this. Haven't seen Parrott, what type of player is he?

I see Zenon and Chris Paul have been released from QPR. Hopefully they get picked up elsewhere.
I think you're harsh on Skipp. Relative to his position I think you could make a case he is on a similar level to KWP and Onomah at the moment. I think his attacking/passing side is underrated as he is restricted to certain roles, and I imagine it will eventually disappear, but as a DM he's the closest we've had to Veljkovic. And again they play the role in a very different style.
I have high hopes for Skipp and the way he has taken and dominated u23 football is reminiscent of Veljkovic and Onomah however stylistically he isn't on their level, and won't catch the eye as much. I think he's one of the best players I've seen in the academy. I reckon Skipp has the best chance of playing for us in the future based of his style, work ethic and ability. Also for those who may not have seen Skipp, I am by no means down playing his ability, it just isn't on Onomah's level, who had it all.
I think Skipp's potential at this moment is a top PL CM/DM
