Really impressed by his Under 19 performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I've never heard of it, I don't think it means much, apparently it's based on past calender year, so doesn't really make sense for Chukwuemeka to be nominated as he hardly played for our academy teams because of being with the first team squad, but didn't actually play for our first team either, so must be based mostly on his performances at U19 Euros. Even more strange is the inclusion of Wolves players Fabio Silva and Ki-Jana Hoever, most Wolves fans agree that Hoever has been very poor for them and nowhere near good enough, and not sure what Silva had done in the past calender year to be considered a 'golden boy'. No doubt Chukwuemeka is one of Europe's best young talents, but this 'gold boy' list doesn't mean much, there will players left off it better than some of those on it, seems the list is compiled from Tuttosports journalists, so probably just naming high profile youngsters that have either moved for big money or that have had game time with some of the bigger clubs, I doubt that there's much though beyond that been put into it. Ronnie Edwards was one of England's best players at Euro U19, and was also very good in the championship last season, and has been linked with a big money move to Chelsea and Spurs, I bet if that move had have happened he would have been on the list just based on him moving to a 'big club' for big money.

Its just a UEFA award like Ballon Dor for young players, Tuttosport arent great sports site as it is. I think will be won by Camavinga, Bellingham or Musiala anyway Edited August 16, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Chelsea about to sign promising midfielder Cesare Casadei from Inter for €20m.

More competition at CM for Carney He is miles behind Carney in development, he is older than Carney and has never even made a senior football bench. Highest he has played at any level is under 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I get this move and don’t blame Chuk for making it. But I remember many fans slamming the club and Gerrard for not giving him enough first team meetings for being the reason he wants to leave. It really did feel like any excuse to have a dig at Gerrard. Then he got it bad for not taking him to Australia. At least now we know that was never the case.

They just said he wasn’t good enough yet for a lot of first team minutes in this league which I agreed with. The ironic thing is he would have got a lot more minutes than he will now at Chelsea for a few years at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
