He's young and learning....so not what we need to e frank :)

Agree. He needs another season in the Championship.
Said this before and after the U21 match confirmed my suspicions.

Player will know this as well.

Has he ever played a game for Chelsea?

Says he played in the Checkatrade Trophy. I'll be surprised if he ever plays a "proper" first team game for them.

Chelsea are all about stockpiling the talented kids from all over the country. They don't appear to give a toss if any of them actually make it to a level where they might be picked by Conte. It feels like they're more interested in making sure other clubs don't get them than having them for their own squad. They, more than any other club apart from Man City, can afford to do that. Pay 17 year olds huge wages and not worry about the consequences if they don't make the grade.

I agree Abraham was left isolated and did ok under the circumstances. He's not the sort of striker to thrive when left stranded up front. He kept trying hard.

Players can perform better a worse depending on the team around them or how they play that's what we pay a manager for building a team that get results.

The thing is they get loaned out and the loaning club pay the wages so Chelsea effectively get a freebie talent that they can then sell later on to a club further down the pyramid or keep if he turns out to be a superstar. It's effectively a money making machine

And one which our academy is aiming to replicate. It's a business *shrug*

At the end of the day we are looking for a striker who will score enough goals against the lesser teams in the division to keep us up. I don't think that this lad will be up to it.

Too much of a risk for us as totally unproven at PL level.

We need 2 strikers and need to get both right.
