I think it's time to let KWP go on loan or sell him. Wasting his career with us
A wiki search suggests 14 games for us and 9 times for England U 21s.Any idea how many games he's played, at any level, in the last two years?
They 100% would be starting if they didn't have a transfer ban, perhaps not Abraham but Mount most definitely wouldI don't disagree with the premise, but let's not pretend that these guys would be starting for Chelsea had they not received the transfer ban.
The better point to be made with Mount, Abraham, etc. is that young players need to be given the chance, and won't let you down. There are plenty of very good young players who, if trusted with minutes, would perform and would develop into much better players.

If you watched Chelsea at preseason, Barkley was their best player, he got dropped despite being better for Mount
If Morris and Lampard weren't managing Chelsea they 100% wouldn't be starting for Chelsea
So to add to the mid table Bundesliga aficionados and people with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Yaya Touré regens, we can add to the SC stable... people who watch Chelsea’s preseason games.They 100% would be starting if they didn't have a transfer ban, perhaps not Abraham but Mount most definitely would

Who knows, I don't think Roman regardless of the transfer ban is looking to spend much or invest much in to ChelseaOk, but Lampard and Morris wouldn’t be in charge if it weren’t for the transfer ban either. So my point stands.
His plan years ago was to invest big and make them successful and get their turnover high. After that they become self-sustainable.Who knows, I don't think Roman regardless of the transfer ban is looking to spend much or invest much in to Chelsea
Absolutely, I am very open to the possibility that he isn't good enough for us.The problem might just be that KWP isn't that good. If one of the pre-game mascot children invaded the pitch and marauded down the left wing, I'd fancy their chances of out-muscling him, or out-jumping. I'm yet to see the guy make a tackle. I desperately want him to be the answer, but Spurs has done a lot more for him than he has for Spurs - so the derision towards the club for some perceived slant against KWP is weird imvhfo.

so poch isn't at all responsible for the player that kwp is today? do you think that playing next to no senior football up until the age of 22 is adequate preparation for becoming a premier league footballer? poch has had kwp with the first team for three years now and has effectively discarded him after three games, did he really have no inkling beforehand that kwp wasn't good enough? personally i thought his was good vs villa, did reasonably well vs city all things considered but then had a poor game against newcastle, do those performances really merit the way he has been treated since?
I think he's long since lost that reputation tbh. The likes of Onomah (who absolutely shone in our youth teams) going to Fulham and barely playing backs that up.KWP is a prime example for me of why Poch's reputation on here for being a manager who nurtures young talent is, for all intents and purposes, bollocks.
The way KWP has been dealt with is very poor imo. Should have at the very least been allowed to go out on loan. Fwiw I've never thought he'd be a long term player here, but he deserves better than what he's had.so poch isn't at all responsible for the player that kwp is today? do you think that playing next to no senior football up until the age of 22 is adequate preparation for becoming a premier league footballer? poch has had kwp with the first team for three years now and has effectively discarded him after three games, did he really have no inkling beforehand that kwp wasn't good enough? personally i thought his was good vs villa, did reasonably well vs city all things considered but then had a poor game against newcastle, do those performances really merit the way he has been treated since?
