I’ve never seen Rio Ngumoha (2008), I hope he can become a future star for us.
A signing
He’s better than Mcaidoo who we missed out on big coup
Glad we are taking advantage of Chelsea’s overstock piling of youth players
Always rated him
Sign all the left wingers
He better score a hattrick in the league cup if we’re breaking our youth wage structure for him
This dude is regarded as probably the best talent in chelsea’s academy. This is a big move for our youth academy.
“Musiala level talent” according to a single redditor on the Chelsea sub. Im taking this as gospel now
I’m too old for this.
You could make a CL winning team out of all the Chelsea academy players they’ve sold/let go young.
But if he’s super highly rated … why is he leaving?
I love this signing, I really love it. When we signed Joe Gomez from Charlton and Harvey Elliott from Fulham, Solanke from Chelsea, Stefan Bajcetic from Celta Vigo, Sterling from QPR. It’s my favourite type of signing, to see them grow through the ranks, contribute to the team, mingle and bond and learn from the senior figures, go from boys to men and then hopefully one day, certified legends. Hope he trains hard, shows his talent and makes the break through one day.
Saw a 480p highly pixelated YouTube video with odd music and I’m completely aboard with this signing, seriously though whenever we can land someone regarded as very talented before they become ‘mainstream’ and their value sky-rockets, it’s good for us
Apparently our wage cap is 50k a year so would love to know how much we offered the kid.
Everyone that follows youth football seem to be raving over him and saying how it’s a massive loss for Chelsea
Not sure how relevant this is but I just landed in LHR and saw a driver holding up an LFC International Academy sign
Wow, I’m really glad, seems like all comments are how talented he is, can’t wait for his debut in the league cup!
Rated him since conception
Let’s hope we get the deal done. This kid is very highly rated. Check out this comp to see what sort of player he is. He’s still only 15. It will be a coup if we get him. I heard Arsenal, Man City, Bayern, Newcastle, Spurs all been chasing him over the last month after word came out he was exploring leaving Chelsea.

A LOT of chatter from ‘twitter scouting experts’ (who don’t support liverpool) stating he’s a top tier talent
Huge for the academy, last season was a massive boost with all the lads getting first team debuts and it’s already paying dividends
Love a move like this. Last year did a nice job reminding me of what the academy can do.
(2008) obviously referring to the year he signed his first professional contract, obviously, definitely must be that

Huzzah! An actual LFC transfer!
From what I can see he’s very highly rated, so a great move for the academy.
We are so back
Huge deal for us this, apparently.
Beyond this, shows a broader trend of top talent leaving Chelsea and wanting to come here.
There’s a lot of talent in that academy. Hope we take advantage of that.
Why is this tap in merchant so obsessed about the year of birth of these kids all of a sudden? Is it for the shock factor or what?
