cidered abroad Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Lloyd Kelly is not 5ft 10. I had a chat with him last season at Clevedon and he towers over me. I'm 5-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rates him very highly. Said he's quick, skilful, bags of energy and can cross. Not sure whether he'll chip in with any goals though. Sobering chatting to colleague about how badly they've been treated by their wretched Belgian owners. My Charlton supporting made said similar "bit small, but fast and extremely talented".

italian dave Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I hope this is a done deal and we don’t have a repeat of the right back saga two years ago: sort out all the outgoings and then the incomings fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure mine won’t change yours either, but I thought he looked really comfortable when he played in the central role at the end of last season. Very assured.

Ohbasso Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 23 minutes ago, The Original OTIB said: I didn't call him a "flair player", and he's 5' 10". I’m sure he’s not 5’10” that must be an old stat from when he was younger, I’m 6ft and I’m sure he’s taller than me. When you said he’s got too much flair I just took it to mean flair player but no worries either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted August 9, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 39 minutes ago, The Original OTIB said: I think not, he's not tall enough and has too much flair to be wasted as an enforcer (largely, no offence to footballing centre backs). 30 minutes ago, The Original OTIB said: My opinion and I'm sticking to it, thanks. 28 minutes ago, The Original OTIB said: I didn't call him a "flair player", and he's 5' 10". You have presumably believed the internet that Kelly is 5’10? Do you therefore believe the internet that Zak Vyner is 6’2? Your opinion may be that Kelly is 5’10 but your opinion is wrong.

Rich_s Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 51 minutes ago, cidered abroad said: I'm puzzled. Why do we need to loan in a young left back when we have an England under 20 international who is clearly ready for progression from our Academy? The Youtube video is great. Dasilva looks a real prospect. Lovely close ball control, pace and vision. To easy to get wrapped up in YouTube video but the lad has something. I reckon that LJ must think that Kelly isn't ready. Personally I've been impressed by Kelly and I'm perplexed about over protecting younger players. If you are good enough then you are old enough in my book. I do think that we are over-protecting some of the academy chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we need to loan in a young left back when we have an England under 20 international who is clearly ready for progression from our Academy? Because he's better than what we have? Kelly may have all the promise in the world, whether it be LB or CB, but throwing him in to replace Bryan, whilst having no decent backup for him, is playing a dangerous game. Many were moaning at our lack of backup over the past couple of years, but many seem to be happy to throw two youngsters straight in (along with Pring) - and have no backup!! Forget about playing Pisano there, it was nearly the end of the world when Wright was moved to RB last season to cover him!! Fact is, 9/10 these Chelsea kids are bloody good. As others have said, other ex pros glow about him, and they should know a thing or two about decent players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagon Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Has Kelly had much of a pre season. I don't remember him getting mentioned much at all. As much as I want him to push through consistently into first team is he a little way off in fitness anyhow at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
