It’s like Chelsea have decided we want to keep you and to prove how much we do we will not play you.

He's appeared in five matches this month alone. He started three of them. He just turned 18 two months ago. He's only been a member of the senior squad for about a year.

Not playing him one match after denying his transfer request, a mere 3 days after he played 90 minutes (something he hasn't done really in the senior squad), is hardly saying "let's show you how much we want you by not playing you."

The club clearly wants him. They've said it. They've shown it this month. If he leaves, it's because he doesn't believe Chelsea will continue to do this or because his head has been turned by Bayern so much it doesn't matter. But Chelsea is doing as much as possible to show him they want him. The fans are singing his name every match. They want him to stay and are showing it far more than they did with other young guys we've lost.
