Guest av1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Here The lad seems to have had a few injuries and couldn't get in the Shrewsbury team. Not the most inspiring player report I must say. He appeared on the bench for the first team, in April 2016, when then manager Guus Hiddink selected three academy players for the squad. Injuries hampered his development after this first taste of professional football, but he did return to once again captain the youth team to European glory. As is the custom with Chelsea youngsters, Colkett's development was away from his parent club, through a number of loans. His first football league experience came at Bristol Rovers at the start of the 16/17 season. He played 17 times in League One, scoring three goals. In January 2017, he was shifted to another club in the same division, this time Swindon Town. Despite amassing 19 appearances for the Robins, the club were relegated to League Two. In July 2017, he was again, loaned out. This time to Vitesse in Netherlands, the central midfielder made 11 appearances with three coming in Europe. However, once again, injuries curtailed his time with the Dutch side and he returned in January 2018. His fourth, and most recent loan spell came this year at League One side Shrewsbury Town. He struggled to break into the first XI, with most of his appearances coming in the Checkatrade Trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 If true you would have to assume it's Terry's input having known him at Chelsea. He must rate him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Okay, let me get this straight. @AVFC_News and the M*rror are both reporting that we are after a 12 month loan deal for Charlie Colkett. The information out there says that his contract with Chelsea is up in the summer. So who the hell are we loaning him from after June? #AVFC Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually misread the name at first and was going to ask if his brother was Davey. Then I realised my error. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he was originally trained as a decorator. He was once painting a wall which had a big gap above the skirting. He was going to hide the gap with some decorators filler but he had run out so he couldn't caulk it. That works? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I believe that any player we're linked to will have comments on here both praising and decrying them. No pleasing everyone. Get experienced player in - "he's too old !" Get a youngster in - "he's too raw !" Or...."yes to both !! Just what we need !" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hopefully couple of moves this week because time is running out. Be great to get at least one starter quality in to lift the crowd in the first of two must wins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Nick Powell is exactly the sort of player we should be signing. Maybe Rangers or Celtic fancy Lansbury or Bjarnason instead. Still need a LB, RB, CB, and DM but can't see much more than a LB and maybe a midfielder coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I don’t doubt Chester has a dodgy knee but that doesn’t excuse some of his passing this season. He’s been atrocious. As someone else mentioned, he’s always the bridesmaid. He just isn’t physical or imposing enough to be the dominant, leading centre half. He looks much more comfortable with a Terry figure alongside him. The harsh truth is he probably isn’t good enough. If we want to progress, we need an entirely new back 4.

That or that he needs a more physical CB beside him. Surely that's the other option? Edited January 21, 2019 by praisedmambo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
