I know but with Mourinho's record in sending young talent out on loan, them not getting a sniff of the first team, seems like an odd choice, especially if it's to increase the fan base out in the far east/japan, what's the point if he never plays for chelsea apart from on pre season tours of the new cash cow.
Know you haven't brought him yet, but what's the odds he's better than Lukaku? Super Sub Remy? Able to spell Costa when he's suspended for one eye poke to many?
