airmark:
Respect yourself. Dont ever call my brilliant assertion on boathand, foolish or juxtapose it with dayo's senseless view on lampard. It's on record that manchester city flogged boathand out of england for being wack. It's also on record that he is the only bayern player among the lahm, robben, muller, ribery, neuer's of munich that has not been honoured by world football governing body. I can give you five veterans from accra hearts of oaks that were better than boathand at their peaks. Next time you call my view rubbish, i may do a joshua on you and knock you out of this ring.

Hahahahahaha

Chic2pimp don buy market o

What's the joke around anonsensio?

Shout out to Tommy Gravesen.

raumdeuter:

diggz:

Chai

Wtf

Ronaldo the rapist...my man has been raping defences from Munich to Madrid.

Arise Lord Ororo...time to get your snoop dogg on and give it to them doggy style.

This is not actually the way of football, it's the way of super rich football clubs who pay little or no attention to their own academies, it is the way of Chelsea.

Ajax won't bother about 15 year old Gilmour because they have an academy that has and can still produce much better prospects.

Barca's trust in La Masia makes it nearly difficult for you to see them chase a prodigy. Last week they announced the opening of an academy in Chicago, following the previous launch of schools in Austin, Texas, Florida etc. By the start of next season there will be 36 academies spread across five continents, including four in Canada, there are currently 27 in operation.

Spurs are even beginning to mind their business lately. Harry Kane, Tom Carroll, Josh Onomah and Harry Winks have all come up through the ranks while Danny Rose joined the Spurs academy from Leeds in 2006.

So I tell you, snapping up 15 year old Gilmour is the way of Chelsea, and it's an ugly trend.

For all Billy's talent, does he deserve to end up at Nottingham Forest or Vitesse?

We have 38 players out on loan across various divisions, with none of the three academy players who are in the first team a regular. What is the essence?

Nice analysis.


But unfortunately I completely disagree. Barca fans will tell you that the club policy has moved emphatically away from the la masia model. Who was the last La Masia graduate to break directly through to the first team?

Spurs have always had an academy that churned out players for sale - Livermore, Caulker, Ryan Mason, Tom Carroll and so on. Harry Winks, Josh Onomah etc don't really have a future at the club and will be sold - that's a betting statement.

Right now academies all over England are poaching up players that they know will never play for them. The only club in EPL that is really producing homegrown talent is Southampton. Almost every other club is engaging in this ugly practice...but because there's so much money in the game, the players and their parents go along with the ruse.

Have a look at this Article

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/jan/21/academy-graduates-arsenal-illusion-flawed-system

Especially this excerpt

There are some obvious reasons why this is happening with renewed energy now. Clubs aren’t really expecting to build a team out of these players. In part the academy is a kind of due diligence exercise, a necessary sweep just in case that one-in-a-million player turns up. A single genius redeems the whole process, never mind these precious stones seem to turn up only as part of a more thorough process.

Second the academy can pay for itself by selling players, or via deals such as the one that took Afobe from Wolves to Bournemouth, from which Arsenal made £1.5m.

More to the point under the homegrown players rule eight of your 25-man squad must be homegrown (that is, grown somewhere in England). Hence the pressure to keep those age group teams churning on with their collection of possible sell-ons and helpful bench-warmers. Meanwhile the rest, the fill-ins who were always likely to be released anyway, become the football equivalent of net-bowlers, there to make up a practice team.

Griffon:
He is not bad, what is bad is that, he won't play.

I feel it's not just right to cut the education of lads short by flashing cash in their face. This was exactly the same case with Islam Feruz. Just 16 and he was not bad.

Where is he today? I am pretty sure that boy doesn't even know what Stamford Bridge looks like. It's been from one loan move to another.

We need to work on our prospects and set up a system that ensures their integration into the first team after few years of education with the academy. Until we get that right, let's simply leave these boys in their parents' homes.

It's just the way of football mehn. It annoys me too but there's a different angle to it as well.

From our side, when we splash that kind of cash on a youth prospect we are hoping his comes good for us, but most importantly we are keeping him out of the hands of our rivals.

Now even if he flops, 500k is an inconsequential sum. I'm sure Roman has lost more than that amount in cash behind his sofa.

From the boy's side, he's hoping he comes good at Chelsea but quite often Chelsea isn't the target bro. The target is just a career in football at any level. Chelsea(and the money) at this stage is likely to be just a bonus when the boy and his parents might know that his true level is Nottingham Forest.

chic2pimp:
£30M for the hottest young prospect in European footy currently. Are you having a laugh?

He's nothing more than a slightly fortuitous French Rashford. If we must sign a black pacy short french forward, I'd rather we sign Lacazette who is a proven striker and costs way way much less.

Lacazette has more goals too.

Mbappe ko, Mmmbop ni

nateevs:
City pays only £30m because Jesus was at Palmeiras. If he was at Monaco, playing on a world stage, £30m will be the money spent to get to the negotiating table.

At the start of this season, nobody except Monaco fans or Career Mode players knew Mbappe. Gaby Jesus was already top striking for Brazil, the most successful national team in the world.

Coming from Palmeiras is irrelevant, it's not as if signing players from Brazil is cheap.

If Gaby Jesus is going for 30M, how can I justify Mbappe for 80? If A whole Alexis Sanchez and A whole Ozil combined went for around that 80M Mark, Who the fück is Mbappe? Who is his daddy?

sinizia:
LMAO. . Maybe as Buhari said a fight against the BH is a fight against the North, it automatically means Shekau is Buhari's twin brother.

Guy you suppose don discharge that clown since. His post history has already betrayed his ideological leanings.
Don't be surprised if you see him on crimewatch tommorow after they arrest him for trying to radicalize punters at a betting shop.

bykebyke:
Cristina is a queer though....and a rapist too.




Let's not forget.

Messi does some weekend work for ISIS in Iran. He's also a convicted felon lest we forget.

Ororo has never been convicted of any crime in his life still.

It's always important to remember the facts

lordfalcao:
the mbappe dude is good. But for 80 mil I don't know what to say.

Mbappe is not better than Gabriel Jesus and that dude cost maybe 30M.

Mbappe is just on a streak in the cups. Of course theres a lot of potential there, but for someone who's been averaging less than 2 shots a game and just over 1 shot on target a game, I inclined to believe he's just been lucky as that goal output on such nearer underlying numbers is unsustainable long term.

Anything over 30M is too much for that dude
