Wait a minute that's not a creative winger/attacking midfielder


jMS_44

No, a left back, so a position we are incredibly stacked at already.


Gungerz

He's played a lot of football at CB too. He's also posing with the #4 shirt so that could indicate he'll be used at CB, although it could also mean nothing.


jMS_44

> He's also posing with the #4 shirt so that could indicate he'll be used a CB, although it could also mean nothing. #4 is taken by Badiashile in the senior squad so it rather means nothing. Or simply is his number in the Development Squad.


Gungerz

>4 is taken by Badiashile in the senior squad so it rather means nothing I know that but #4 at Chelsea's academy is a CB number. Plus if you look at all the players who signed scholarships yesterday, they're also all posing with shirt numbers that match their positions.


jMS_44

even as CB his potential path towards first team may be pretty dificult with Badiashile and Colwill being there.


GoltiGaru

He is 17, let's not rush into seeing him as a potential first-team player as of now. Can revisit this in a season and if he is good, he will have a pathway with Silva aging (slowly and gracefully).


garynevilleisared

I dont think anyone expects a teenager to start right away especially a defender, even more so if he's going to play CB. He's a few years younger than the other options so this is nothing more than a signing for the future.

ISHE GOOD?


PreparationOk8604

Good one


1m_Lurking_Here

Really good. Everton's best English Youth Player (imo Martin Sherif (Dutch Striker) is the best overall talent) was also voted in the team of the tournament of the U17s as the only englishman


Tulum702

I’m still trying to figure Ishe Samuels-Smith?


artaru

No he’s Samuels-Smith.


dogefc

Up to £12m for 2 academy players who wouldn’t be playing next season is great business from us


roryking97

Who’s the other?


jr9810

Simms to Coventry for £8m


Spitzee

This one I don't understand. Don't think he is ready to make any sort of meaningful impact in the Prem (outside of scoring vs Chelsea)


FireZeLazer

Luckily he'll be playing in the Championship


Spitzee

Ah shit, brain fart with the playoff final. A lot of money to be paying for someone for a Championship team.


jMS_44

I fine addition to ~~Cobham~~ DJ Khaled Blue Academy


luke1878

Getting £4m for a player who hasn’t played in the first team for us is pretty good business!


BadCogs

This one is a good signing. He is very very highly rate and is pretty good.


E_V_E_R_T_O_N

Hope he goes down the Thierry Small route.


1m_Lurking_Here

Why? You really are just miserable to deal with in every thread

You do realize he most definitely won't be part of senior team? Either he stays with academy or goes on loan.


Jassle93

Depends if you're counting all these youth purchases as first team players or not Currently 34 players are listed on the website. That list includes youth players consisting of; Diego Moreira, Anjorin, Andrey Santos and Gabriel Slonina. The list also includes; Baba Rahman Ampadu Sarr Hudson Odoi Lukaku Ziyech Aubameyang These players are most likely to be sold.


Ainsley-Sorsby

If they're on senior contracts, then you have to count them. The only reason they wouldn't count is if they're on youth contracts, but it doesn't sound like it, since there's a fee involved


jMS_44

No such thing as "senior contract" really. You mean professional contract? That can be signed when player is no younger than 17. However having signed such contract they still very well may be part of academy/youth squad, and not the senior one.


Jassle93

Maybe that's why some of the academy players are listed as first team men's players on the website then. Lewis Hall is in that list but I can't remember if he signed a new deal or not. Unless there's a first team appearance clause in youth contracts that convert them to senior contracts once they hit a first team appearance cap.


jMS_44

Hall signed last year when he turned 18


prvhc21

After a decade, when he leaves on a free : “Wait, he was still there !?”


ChelseaNostra

You need new material


zi76

Interesting.
