My Blood Is Blue Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 Gutted it never quite worked out for him here. The injury he suffered was a massive blow and no doubt set him back. Good luck to him for a successful career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was flattering to deceive even before the injury The most overhyped academy product we are ever likely to encounter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeping Dave Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 6 443 minutes across 2017/18 to 2021/22 scoring 16 goals and recording 22 assists. We’ve bought an awful lot of players who won’t come close to what he has achieved with us. In terms of titles he’s won the U-17 World Cup, the FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Europa League and FIFA Club World Cup. Sadly that Achilles injury ruined his career. Much like Loftus-Cheek I wish him nothing but good luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely paid tribute to a Chelsea product who has had a career at the very top end of football ruined because of injury. In that context your immediate response was to belittle him while apparently turning a blind eye to the club throwing massive money on players who are a long way off achieving what Callum did here with us. Smacks of bad taste mate. Have a word with yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well good on him. Sadly he hardly played a role for City in their success. He’s got everything to prove and has not achieved even half of what Callum has. Maybe he will, but so far he hasn’t. If you never rated Callum I can only speculate how badly you think of Palmer? At least Callum didn’t cost us £45m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Callum didn’t cost us £45m. And what did CHO contribute to the list of medals he won here? The double standards are quite amusing.

But this the Callum Hudson-Odoi thread. So let’s keep Palmer out of it. If you want to belittle Callum’s efforts here it’s your choice. I just think it’s bad form.

Couldn’t disagree more with this Paul - personally. He was electric when he burst onto the scene. I remember he started vs Arsenal in a pre-season game and he had Bellerin on toast all game. He was about 17/18 and I remember thinking WOW. Bayern Munich obviously saw something. Sadly he got a serious injury and seemed to lose that yard of pace and more importantly, explosiveness - coupled with a few poor loan moves his prospects fizzled out, but there’s definitely a player there. Wish him all the best. EDIT - it was this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely pointed out we’ve paid over £100m for two Man C academy products that so far has one PL goal between them after you pointed out CHO only has 4 PL goals.

You think Callum is pants and never showed anything here. That’s your right, I’m not going to try to convince you that Callum has produced much more in the world of football than two high profile signings we’ve just made for ridiculous money. If you think I’m wrong, that’s your right as well. I had just expected a fan like yourself to be a little more gracious towards an academy player having a career at the very top ruined by injury. I concede I was wrong 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
