When Frank Lampard first took over at Stamford Bridge he was widely credited for getting the younger players into the first team, but it’s starting to look like that only happened due to the transfer ban.
His trust in the youngsters started to fade as time went on and he’s basically signed a whole new team this summer, so the club has gone in a drastically different direction.
That inevitably means that some players will need to move on, so there could be some bargains to be had for other teams if they move quickly.
Callum Hudson-Odoi is an exciting player to watch who should have a big future in the game, but it now looks like he’s set to move to Bayern Munich:
Update @Calteck10: The talks between @FCBayern and @ChelseaFC about Callum Hudson-Odoi are entering the decisive phase

It’s never nice to see one of your best homegrown youngsters leaving the club, while these fans seem to be laying the blame directly at Frank Lampard’s door:
I mean if Odoi leaves then Lampard has lost 90% of the fan base automatically and there is absolutely nothign that will change it. So he has to be careful here

If Hudson-Odoi was to leave, I would seriously question Frank Lampard and his decision making.
Frustrating. https://t.co/ArxBILxvEE

There are genuinely people out there who would rather keep Lampard over Odoi Imaoo.

If you honestly believe if Hudson-Odoi will comeback to Chelsea if he joins Bayern on loan regardless if there's an option or obligation to buy.
He won't play for Chelsea again, he'll play for a team that's near perfection, why would he come back to be benched by Lampard.— ? (@CFCJuxn) October 2, 2020
Odoi is leaving? Lampard making sure his son can play on the wings when the wingers aren't available. Mad oo..

Lampard to release Hudson-odoi and play Mount on the wing ???

Sack Lampard if we sell Callum Hudson-Odoi. Enough is enough.

Blood on your hands if Callum Hudson-Odoi leaves Frank Lampard.
No one else but you.
You played a 31 year old over him when you knew the 31 year old was leaving.
He’s better than any of KDB, Salah and Lukaku were at their time of departure.
Blood on your hands.

Mason Mount does appear to be the obvious exception to the rule because Lampard will play him as much as possible, but it shows how unpopular the manager is when the fans are turning against him so heavily.
Hudson-Odoi isn’t going to be the difference between silverware and failure this season but he’s a popular player who’s exciting to watch, so it would be a massive call to let him leave.
Lampard deserves to be sacked if he let go of hudson
Odoi go… we sack lampard
lampard allowed Barkley to leave instead of cheek; now he want to let Odoi leave. very soon, he will be watching Chelsea matches all alone.
I c total madness in lampard, first u allow tariq lamptey who is able to back up chilwel, secondly ross barkley who has d energy in d midfield and now odoi, wat madness iz dis, ar u try to split up chelsea or wat, sincerely lampard u deserve to b sacked..
Odoi naturally is a winger why play mount in the wing and bench odoi? Funny.
plastic supporters should keep mouths shut !! see at the end of the season !!! it took clumpyklopp 5 years
If I were a manager I will play Odoi on his natural position (wing ) than mount,if he let Odoi go he must be sack.
Clearly lampard is becoming biased does mount has to play every game for sure when he sometimes costs us and then pulisic had an hamstring injury same as azplicueta y is pulisic injury taking so long or its just for the sake of mount getting an england call up excuse me Frank Chelsea isn’t england national team if you want to only English players go to the 3lions otherwise sack lampard replace him with any coach who isn’t biased case closed.
What is so special about odoi if he wish to leave let him go after all there are many players in Chelsea.
frank you doing amess coz how can u play two strickers in one and play two midfielders as winger and bench a right winger and expect goals frank just play each player in a specific position and u will get then point and am amos from kenya
