Ed001, what do u think of billy Gilmore and his season so far. Will he be a future Chelsea player.

{Ed001's Note - hard to judge him on this season. He was left out for a large chunk of it and Norwich are so bad it is not easy for him to impress. But he doesn't look ready for Chelsea yet.}

If anything he needs another loan at a club not fighting relegation. Gallagher will fit in seamlessly.

Do believe Gilmour needs to Bulk up a little bit.

But that will come with age.

Ed001, I think Gallagher and Broja are ready (and perhaps Baxter) .

{Ed001's Note - I agree on the first 2 defo.}

BG has talent but you would expect that if he is a Chelsea academy player. This is the issue I have with the expectations some people have of our academy players as soon as they play a few good games they are the next best thing. He is not ready for the first team squad perhaps a loan to German club might be good for his future development.

You like what you've seen from Broja then, Ed001? Think he looks the business for Soton for sure, but obviously they play with a lot more space to attack than Chelsea typically get. Haven't seen enough in terms of back to goal play from him to form on opinion on whether he could be a good enough focal point up front against a deep sitting defense.

{Ed001's Note - he does look good mate, a natural centre-forward though, but they often seem to play him wide.}

Oh and on Gilmour, he's not the type of player to be a good fit for a horrible team. He's already shown in previous seasons that he can contribute to Chelsea (vs Pool, vs City, vs Arsenal he's all started and done well) . But in a Norwich team with a horrific lack of quality he's never going to impress that much.

{Ed001's Note - I agree with you on that but it must be said he is still recovering from a long-term injury that has clearly set him back a fair way. He does not look the player he was before it, yet. He needs to keep playing regularly to regain his level before he can be judged.}
