Mikel was our only player not to loose possession against Bayern. Makelele only peaked around 25-26 let's hope that's what we see in Mikel.

On the subject of Bruma and Van Aanholt, neither (in my opinion), will be able to compete with our English back four of youngsters (Bertrand, Hutch, Chalobah and Kane). Also with light to Kakuta and McEachran, though Kakuta is very good player, I can't see him making it sadly especially with De Bruyne and Marin. McEachran however we should cherish. Someone that sublime on the ball at his age is talent. Need to nurture him properly.

Varier, like your rationale of our players, sadly I only get to see CFC on TV nowadays, and rely in 2nd hand info about the fringe players.
Do you think it's time to play, say Josh and Piazon in the 1st team , and if not, anyone else?
 
Piazon is about 3-4 years off. A loan is a possibility but I'm not sure what club would suite him. Very talented though.

McEachran I think should stay with us. Though he won't start I think he would get more benefit from playing with the team. Maybe 1-2 years off a regular player. The last loan to Swansea was a waste. Perhaps a loan to one of the promos would be a good move.

Another player to watch is De Bruyne. Excellent player. Really should use him next season.

I have seen De Bruyne, and he does look the business. Josh to me should be in the 1st team this year and be played in the appropriate games as Bertrand was.We seem to be far more reluctant to give our kids a trot than other clubs, and I don't know why. We seem to have talented youngsters on loan all over the shop, and never see any come through. Hopefully this might change next season. This young Piazon has got people talking, and also Kane.
Anyway, thanks for the info, the inside track is always better than he rags.
 
I'd rather have seen Josh playing than paying 12mil for a turd like Meireles. he needs to be given some responsibility otherwise we'll never find out if he's any good.
