Looking like one of the greatest robberies to have taken place!

I think he is another player who is going to attract considerable interest this summer. He's our best wide player, quite easily. A bit inconsistent, but wingers tend to be inconsistent entities, so that is a normal aspect for a wide man, for me.

I would agree. Has also proven his fitness can stand up to it, in the second half of the season anyway.

He's great, and I love him. You know exactly what he's looking to DJ but so many times he pulls it off. Top, top player. More to come too. Hope he's ours another year...

I think I'm on record, possibly earlier in this very thread, of saying CHO was a busted flush and I wasn't bothered about us signing him.
I'd like to also go on record and say that I'm a f***ing idiot.

Unless teams put 2 or 3 people on him he tears teams apart.

I've given recruitment a lot of shit for their strategies/decisions, but CHO is a great example of their better side. Excellent stuff lad

Cooper signing though clearly.
Well done, Callum.

Comparing the cut-in and curl merchants:
CHO: cost £3m, premier league goals 7; assists 1
Antony: cost £86m, G1 A1
Or in other words 1 Antony costs 28.6 CHOs, or to have enough Antonys to match CHO's output it would cost £344m.

5 goals 8 assists on the other side from the lad who wouldn't have cost them a penny. Elanga may not have had quite the same impact post injury lay off, but he's still creating.

He'll have been so relieved to get that second today after hitting the post a few minutes before. He's a real asset.

He’s become a very important player for us as the season has gone on. Somehow he plays better away from home than at the WFCG.

Bargain of the season. Others say Barkley at Luton, but CHO is much better IMO.

Obviously I enjoyed CHO’s post match interview where he said “obviously” 9 times. Obviously this means more goals to come this season.

CHO and Elanga know what it's like being at the big teams (not all that great) and neither sparkled while at those teams to suggest super strong interest from that level of team again so there is a good chance we will keep both for a long time which I am delighted about.
We should keep looking for players in similar circumstances this summer

Bukayo Saka is another player who everyone knows is going to come inside and shoot in one swift body movement.
Although it looks predictable, it's not always that easy to stop if it's a player whose hips don't lie (Shakira, Shakira), a player who simply waits, draws you in and teases you to make a challenge to foul them, then just jinks in an instant with a quick-fire shot.
Hudson-Odoi was top drawer at doing that in his Chelsea days and looked a huge talent. It was mainly the injuries he needed to get over and to gain some confidence in his body. You can see why Chelsea at the time turned down bids in excess of £30m for him. One other bid was a loan with an option to buy at £70m, which Chelsea turned down too.
What an absolute bargain and he looks to be enjoying his football again.

It's all about working CHO into that 1v1 - do that and it's probably 50-50 whether he gets a shot off. Do it three or four times in a game and the chances are he gets a goal.

He was brilliant today. And not just for his superb skills -- also for his courage and guts. With Wood losing it, MGW quite poor, Elanga looking lost, we desperately needed someone to stand up and make things happen for us. He had the mental strength to do that. The really good players do it in the big games when their team needs them most and he passed that test with flying colours today.
