    Chelsea already know what he can do in league one, so if they are going to recall him from Bristol City and want him in the shop window to maximise a potential transfer fee then surely they'll loan him to another championship side.

    Agreed, if one want him.
  • Unused sub again yesterday.

    He's waiting for the phone to ring! :-)

    Would be good news if we got him.

    He'd be a useful back up to Naby when he returns from suspension.

    If he still isn't playing there in January he'll go to Vitesse. He'd be very well suited to the continental game where there are fewer, how shall I say this, big lumps to go up against. I could see the continent being his future long term, he has lovely technical ability.

    I'd have him back in a heartbeat. I think I rate him more highly than most. But I can't see it happening. Germany might be another option with him, especially given how young English players have had success there. But I think he's first choice LB for England U-21s, in a pretty talented group, so it's clear there's a player in there capable of higher than League One. With a club like Chelsea, they'll have the network and connections outside of just the lower leagues to find a good place for him.

    Looking likely that he’ll sign on a permanent deal at Bristol City.

    I thought Bristol City had an option to sign him on a perm deal anyway once this loan deal finished

    Chelsea will regret that; he’s top notch

    He was down the valley on Friday watching us.
    Nothing to compare it to, but I get the feeling an unusually high number of ex players are close to the club. Rhoys Wiggins was down there on Fri too

    My son was sure he spotted Joe Gomez outside the Odeon before the match.

    Very likely, he was at The Valley for the Portsmouth game, sat a row away from me.

    I imagine they too realise the importance of the playoffs for our future, and how big a game it was on Friday

    Karlan Grant was also there but had to leave on extra time to get back to his mum’s house who lives round the corner to The Valley before flying out to Dubai.

    This must be the reason we sold out, all Roland's ex players on comps!, did anyone spot Thuram?, or did he drop his ticket.
    Christophe Lepoint was outside the ground but couldn’t work out how to scan his ticket 
  • Harry Lennon and Ollie Muldoon were on the pitch at the end

    Lacazette the Arsenal striker was in the east stand supporting Naby Sarr.

    You must be wrong, she normally goes on holiday in the middle of the season  :)

    Championship side Bristol City have signed England under-21 international Jay Dasilva from Chelsea on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

    Been doing that for a few years

    Bit like Preston and Brentford they're doing a good job of unearthing gems and utilising them to their benefit, only difference is Preston havent really made any big fees from theirs of late

    Bet Chelsea have a tidy little buy-back clause.

    I still think our Jay will excel most when he moves abroad where his height won't be quite as big (er, pardon the pun) an issue. Think he has the technical ability to play in Spain, or maybe even somewhere like Holland while he hones his trade. 

    That said, as Kent says, Bristol are building a decent side.

    And a very decent investment when Da Silva is inevitably sold on.
