I know Hagan got his contract early, but on the evidence of two seasons Dylan Thompson seemed to get more games so yeah hard to see him progressing . Kristensen from memory had one good game, Chelsea Youth Cup I think, when Welch was with the first team. Maybe he’ll do a Con Ouzoundis, not first team squad material but a strong u23 defender helping younger CBs.I think it is more on the progression pathways of the players. The club have put their hat on Welch and see him for the long term. Kristensen and Hagan are different types of player. Hagan very combative and a traditional type of CB. Kristensen is well balanced and can play with both feet.
Welch had a slow start to season, making errors and poor decisions. Physically he has it, and he got stronger toward the end of the season, so hopefully he kicks on.
