I really can't comprehend you guys at all. You can't eat your cake and have it back. The board clearly had to choose between ake and Christensen and decided to sell ake at a very handsome price with an inserted buy-back clause and you guys are complaining . Haba.

Today you clamour for the club to buy a world class defender(vvd, bonucci) and relegate cahill to the bench, then you want Christensen promoted as a starter bearing in mind that we still have zouma, luiz and azpi, now we have Sandro and Alonso and you want neither sold that's 7 defenders and you still think ake shouldn't be sold when it's very clear he has no future in the club?? HABA!!

You can't have it all!! There are limited registered players you know??

That's the problem I have with us( Chelsea colleagues) we clamour for youth promotion and integration and at the same time agitate for the club to sign the latest world class stars, what sort of hypocrisy is that?
How can you clamour for the signing of vvd when you already have luiz, azpi, Christensen and cahill and still wish to keep ake?

You're happy about the record breaking signing of Sandro when you already have Marcos Alonso, what message does that that send to Kennedy and Ola Aina.

Some Chelsea fans on other forums were sad that traore was sold when it was as clear as night and day that the boy absolutely had no future whatsoever at Chelsea. We are clamouring for world class strikers, he has already gone to 4 different teams and countries, do you really want his future to be that unstable??

The thing tire me.. We want all the youths on loan to play for our team, yet we fret and trumble and wants world class signing when other teams signs world class signing..

Abramovich is a very ambitious owner that never likes settle for less. We are not arsenal Tottenham Monaco or Napoli who are always contended with top 4 finish

The club should choose between going the direction of elite European teams like barca by signing good players or go the direction of bottlers like Dortmund by signing youthsss...

bigkesh:


Madrid are eating their cake and still have it
Barca use to do to


It's all about sense...If we had defenders better than Ake,no p,but we don't
You can't be benching and selling the best youth team in the world for Baba,Mikel and co
A backline of Azpi-Luiz-VVD with Ake,Christensen and Cahill means you will eat your cake and have it


A midfield of Kante,Veratti and Fabregas with Baker,Chalobah and Tolusso means your cake still get icing

A front line of Hazard-Insigne and Lukaku with Pedro,Musonda,Michy and Traore means you are doing well


Spurs and Arsenal aren't failing because they really on youth,they are failing because they 'Over rely'on them

You see Asensio and Nacho? That's how to groom a player in a big team
See Kimmich

what he said made sense.. How many youth are in Madrid's and Barca's first 11? 1 or none

Apart from asensio how many youth team played more regularly for Madrid this season? You will find out 2 or none.

How many youth played regularly for barca only sergi Roberto...

When last did a youth break into barca 11 from LA masia?

Despite barca and Madrid having youth scattered over Europe.. When it comes to the competitive front they don't use youth and keep bidding for world class like hazard every season..

You think by having enuf youth in Madrid team playing regularly dy would go back to back and win 3 UCL in 4 Yeatrs.. Football no dy like that..

We overrated the german burnthisligdown, thinking the best lb in the league, seen using bayern munich legends to mop the ground, was ripe for epl. Once beaten, 1million times shy. Take your trojan to norton fc . Walker is my favourite. But i know spurs will prefer to sell him to ajax capetown and add buy-back clause, rather than selling to us.

nobi lie...

airmark:


We dont want another baba rahman. Recommend him to your team. We are looking for players for ucl knockout stages. We dont want ''give him time'' type of players.



Sometimes i just read some comments smh. Soccer is a serious business, when you are up for bigger things, you upgrade. Conte will be so foolish to leave cahill in his first 11, aiming at his first ucl title.

baba NLA Cahill to be dropped? Instead luiz will be sacrificed.. Cahill 8 goals every season worth more than 15 goals a striker will score a season. He is very important to our cause..

England didnt even deserve to get to the penalties with a Legit German goal chalked off and the Germans dominated play possesion and chances

1- No one is having we should have 5 youth players in our XI

2- Madrid has 10 world class players in their XI,we have just 3.......Big difference
Nacho,Asensio,Jese,Vasquez and co are not playing because of Players like Pepe/Varane,Bale,Isco and James..........Not Cahill,Mikel,Baba,Matic,Pedro and Alonso


It is hard to play a youth in Madrid's team because it is hard to find an U-22 player better than Ramos,Modric,Rinaldo and co.........


But here
Ake is already better than Cahill
Baker is better than Matic
Chalobah is better than Matic
Andreas is better than all our defenders not named Azpi


Don't ever compare our situation to Madrid's

ill say this is the simplest truth. Chelsea rely on


lower ability + extreme experience


instead of


higher ability + minimal experience


That's the reason we have no room for young lads down here.

I don't even think things will change in a decade from now. And trust me, we would still buy Ake for 120M in the next few years

I think you're comfortably leaving out zouma. Of all the youth defenders, zouma and Christensen looked like the nearest to graduate to the 1st eleven.
If the club decides to sell zouma now, you'll see how people here would lament the sell of another potential prodigious defender, meanwhile we still want the club to buy bonucci and VVD and still retain ake. simply put, so far as we have Christensen and zouma, ake has no future at the club.

On what grounds would you ever say baker and chaloba are better than matic?? We already have lots of midfielders in our loan army, the likes of pasalic at AC Milan, Nathan, RLC, chaloba, Lewis baker and so many others but would we be satisfied if conte now decided to use fabregas, Kante and pasalic, and use chaloba and Lewis baker and RLC as backup?? Would you?

If he does that you'll hear the same people clamouring for youth integration saying the club isn't ready to challenge for trophies

Look at us now licking our at the prospect of signing vitolo from Seville for 35m as BACKUP for hazard, what the hell happened to Pedro, willan, boga, musonda as backup?? We are just hypocrites if we can't sort out our priorities and wishes. We can't have it all.

how did Madrid get their World class players? I might be wrong but only Ramos seems to have come through the academy.

diggz:
E clear say person head no korrect for cfc board if dey sell Ake to Bournemouth for 20mil.....

Andreas Christenson must break into the team come next season.

We shouldn't afford this prodigy to waste on the bench.

If we can pursue a 21 year old John Stones last season for £50m, why not stick to Christenson now?

This daily mail article highlights a lot about him

Ramos is a Sevilla product.

Carvahal is their only first teamer from youth team.

However, most of their substitutes are from the youth team

Sergio Ramos was a 1st team player at Seville before Madrid signed him.

He's not their academy player.

Carvajal sef is not even a direct graduate. He was bought back from Leverkusen.

you mentioned Madrid superstars, let me ask how many of them came from the youths?

Which way do you want Chelsea to go? The way of youth or the way of becoming a world beater?

We already have Kennedy,aina,zouma,chalobah and musonda last season and they showed us they are not yet ready to make the bench regularly talk off benching the regulars.

Can you tell us how Ake is better than Cahill , how chalobah is better than Matic and how Andreas is better than luiz or Cahill. In what aspect of football particularly. Only Andreas and ake are looking serious to me for now.

One thing you don't know is scrap what Cahill, matic luiz Pedro and co you think the youths are better brings to the team we will finish out of the top 4..

The team have enough youth in the first team. Its not wright to keep stalling their progress.. Sell them out with buy back clause, loan them or sell outright if they are not ready...

Dongorgon5:

Cahill is very much important to Chelsea if you like it or not. Come next season he is occupying the left side of our defense be ready to see him.

that asensio na good player, give him two years he will keep bale to the bench...

However, most of their substituted are Academy graduates.
