Never really convinced me he's the real deal has Chong. Think he knows his career is best off at another club.
Garner, Greenwood and Williams have all signed contracts this year, Tuanzebe signed one in July I think, Gomes still hasn't but there's little information from his camp compared to Chong's.To be fair if Chong has turned down a new deal and wants to walk for free, he is the one youngster currently on the scene that I don't think is good enough.
Would be far more alarmed if it was Williams/Tuanzebe/Garner/Gomes/Greenwood etc.
I am ain't bothered much either. He could turn into something but as it stands he hasn't shown anything special in the first Team.To be fair if Chong has turned down a new deal and wants to walk for free, he is the one youngster currently on the scene that I don't think is good enough.

Yeah I know that mate, was just using them as examples that if we are to lose one youngster, Chong would be my choiceGarner, Greenwood and Williams have all signed contracts this year, Tuanzebe signed one in July I think, Gomes still hasn't but there's little information from his camp compared to Chong's.
Oh, my apologies.Yeah I know that mate, was just using them as examples that if we are to lose one youngster, Chong would be my choice
I keep all options open. But it is important to keep my focus on the season. I will see where it goes.
Yes, they offered it (a new deal), but at the moment the season is also in full swing.
Meanwhile, Chong has told Voetbal International that he’ll “Discuss with my family what is best”.
Haha don't apologise mate all good, ah see what happens I guess, if he stays then all good hopefully he can be decent, if he goes then good luck to himOh, my apologies.
Seems the news earlier was premature. I'll post Chong's quotes below.

What's there though? I agree we should loan him but doubt there's much to come from Chong. Looks really limited.He hasn’t been overly impressive but he’s still very young and has plenty of time to nurture his game. I’d prefer we didn’t just give up on kids when there is something there.
Loan out would be the best option.
That's incredibly unfair, he's looked raw and nervous but if you've watched him in the U23s and academy then he isn't limited. He'll need to adjust his game to the reduction in time and space he'll get in the prem but that's why he needs a loan move or two before he's ready for first team action.What's there though?

Clearly it would seem Chong feels the same.You are correct some of the Kids like Chong, Larid and Gomez need to be sent out on loan. They should be signed up for on a new contract and sent out until they are ready or moved on if they don't make the required progress. Its very difficult for a kid to come into a team that lacks leaders.
Not if he goes to a club outside of England.Will we be due any compensation if he goes on a 'free'?
I agree that he’s underperformed but he’s done very well at youth level. Maybe he’s just not ready yet - he’s still only 18 (?).What's there though? I agree we should loan him but doubt there's much to come from Chong. Looks really limited.
haven't seen him in u23's but the first team is where it's at and I haven't seen much depth to his game.That's incredibly unfair, he's looked raw and nervous but if you've watched him in the U23s and academy then he isn't limited.

Also hasn't signed a new deal and his current one expires this summerWho cares! I would be more concerned about Gomes than Chong. He impressed me the least out of the current crop.
Exactly. That’s why it’s a bigger concern.Also hasn't signed a new deal and his current one expires this summer
Cannot repeat this enough but Gomes has been injured for some time now. It seems every time he is not in the squad this narrative of him being ignored comes up but injured players don't get picked, I think the club really need to be more upfront about injury news. Chong admittedly is fit but honestly I would not pick him over James, Rashford or Greenwood and so it is less of a surprise.I expect Chong and Gomes to both leave at end of the season. Even with the lack of attacking options we have at our disposal neither are getting much of a look in.
From their perspective leaving and getting a chance of regular football probably makes more sense than being sent on loan.

I'm fairly sure we have an option with Gomes to extent the contract by one year. We'll certainly invoke that option.I expect Chong and Gomes to both leave at end of the season. Even with the lack of attacking options we have at our disposal neither are getting much of a look in.

I agree, surely he’d just be benched at Juvey if he went there, he’s clearly not ready to start in a decent side.It's just agent games if you ask me, just like those Barca links with Gomes. Just ignore it.
I know he’s injured but even when he was fit he wasn’t playing and if he was fit now he wouldn’t be ahead of any of Perreira, Mata or Lingard. Most likely he wouldn’t even be on the bench, same as Chong.Cannot repeat this enough but Gomes has been injured for some time now.

He's the one player that I don't mind leaving, didn't see any glimpse of greatness when he played against Rochdale and their 16 yo rb had him in his back pocket. Granted it was one game, I feel like that LW is not a hard one to fill.
Would prefer our other dutchman with the buy back fee to come back. Seems to have a bad mentality considering he hasn't played well at all for the first team yet now doesn't want a renewal.
Might play well for the reserves but without sounding harsh, would he actually hack it at Rochdale?
