He is very unpredictable and always looks to cross! Jose's comments on Perisic not only being creative but having physical attributes like no other player make me think Chong is his type of player. He can develop into a complete footballer.An actual RW, this boy is worth his weight in gold. He is part of a dying species.
He is indeed.He's with the first team squad for the pre-season? Wonderfull if so.
Seems more likely we buy someone like Bale or Perisic to start and Chong can get some games this year in Cups and when injuries/suspensions happen some games, or maybe a loan in January to get some Champo starts, and then next summer Mata moves on and Chong is the #2 choice RW behind whoever we buy.Im so excited about this guy. We have a vacant RW spot, all he needs to do is step up big time.
If youre good enough, youre old enough.
I am excited as well, but he's definitely not good enough yet. He's only 18, still plenty of time to get some scrap minutes and continue to build his experience.Im so excited about this guy. We have a vacant RW spot, all he needs to do is step up big time.

he's a type of player who should go straight to the first team, he's playing in a position which doesn't need that mucxh of discipline like CB or fullback so if he fecks up nothing much happens. Also the timing is very right for him right now too. Let's see if he can impress on tour but I am sure he will catch the eye... Even if we buy someone he should be fighting for the no2 spot there. Don't think we should play with Mata there at allThis guy has a massive future ahead of him... Love watching him play. It's a bit concerning that he has already torn his acl but hopefully he gets stronger physically and he's young enough that it won't affect him
Do people think it is too early to give him a loan to a lower league team or maybe Scotland? I just am not the biggest fan of youth team and reserve football for development of young players. When you looked at that England squad it was amazing how many players had multiple loans to get regular game time. If anyone would have any info on how that kind of thing is decided I would love to know its always fascinated me.
Read a few posts above you - Chong has been training with the first team squad in pre-season.It seems that he would fit better than any other player from the academy in the first team. But, somehow, it looks that Jose has some weakness for Gomes.
So was that Giggs fella but he didn't turn out too badly..Read a few posts above you - Chong has been training with the first team squad in pre-season.
I suspect it would take another year for Chong to start making any sort of impact on the first team, he is still incredibly slight, but I think he has a very good chance of making it here. I'd say he's actually more likely to make it here than Gomes, who I think has too much of a laid-back playing style for the Premier League (which I think will hold him back even more than his size). I reckon Gomes will eventually end up playing in Spain rather than here.
Clearly Chong is the greater talent. Just look at their names, it is a given.Looking forward to seeing him play alongside some of the first team./ Hopefully he can cause Mourinho a problem. The young player I'm looking froward to seeing even more though is Greenwood.
Yes for 16 he looks a huge talent, genuine world class potential. Wouldnt be surprised to see him breaking through the season after this at allLooking forward to seeing him play alongside some of the first team./ Hopefully he can cause Mourinho a problem. The young player I'm looking froward to seeing even more though is Greenwood.
Considering he hasnt played Gomes at all bar one cup game last year when he played the last game the season before.....that is a strange statement?It seems that he would fit better than any other player from the academy in the first team. But, somehow, it looks that Jose has some weakness for Gomes.
As long as Jose doesn’t, he’s fine. If Jose does, we’ll be seeing him played up front with long balls launched at his impressive mane of hairNeeds to cut the hair, people will wrongly associate him with Fellaini.
Yes.Serious question: Does his hair not cause a lot of drag force? He runs pretty fast...
Doesn't particularly affect speed that much.Serious question: Does his hair not cause a lot of drag force? He runs pretty fast...
I doubt it actually affects speed but is it not... annoying? to get going fast with so much hair?Doesn't particularly affect speed that much.
