Chong signed a new 5yr contract.

You watch highlights of the reserves and he looks a different player... Less tentative, direct, quicker getting shots off

Maybe all he needs is a bit of confidence or a goal to prove to himself he can do it at the higher level

I don't rate Chong at all, another squad filler at best.

On the other hand we should do everything in our power to retain Angel Gomes. Very disappointed with Ole under utilising him.

He’s not a squad filler at the moment or next season though.

He wouldn’t take up a squad place as an U21 player. It’d be like having an additional free option for cup fixtures and emergencies.

I suspect he’ll go out on a season long loan though.

Never been that impressed by him. Needs a loan imo.

Having said that I wouldn’t be against starting him over James in the odd home game between now and May.

A lot of people write off mct.....then he got a decent run in the side. Perhaps Chong will show more if given more of a chance?

Fair point. James hasn’t been great for a while but keeps getting the nod. Can’t see us losing much by giving Chong a go.

He's actually one of the worst footballers I've ever seen. Hate him and his stupid hair.

Hahaha I do wonder how much of the hate comes because of the Fellaini wig

And last time out he looked decent and almost scored a goal. This is good for the club, and hopefully Gomes signs next. I think Ole can get these lads up to speed. Everything he's touched this season has turned to gold.

I hope Gomes does sign next.

Chong chose to stay as he'd be loaned out at inter (doesn't suit Conte's style). They also want him as he's part Chinese and Inter are owned by a Chinese business group.

I guess you have to be aggressively optimistic if you’re Fred’s shooting coach
