and so will Chelsea if they get Ince (which they probably won't)Peoples objection on this forum is the mere thought that Chelsea would be bold enough to take one of our top youngsters - I'm just making the point that if we can do it to Barcelona of all teams, then we can't get too high and mighty if someone tries to do it to us
It is a completely different situation. Hasn't Ince got a professional contract? Chelsea have broken these rules before, so some fans are bound to be suspicious. I wouldn't be complaining that Chelsea have tapped him up if they get him, I'll just be disappointed that he wanted to leave us.
He got 2 against Leeds today. How in gods name Henrik has he got more chance of breaking through at Chelsea than here surely your only messing.
Chelsea are really big on getting their youth system working (not that we're not) - but I think Abramovich has made big moves on making the club self-sufficient, and a key feature of this will inevitably be youth getting a chance at Chelsea.For me, as much as I like Rafa, bringing through youth is not his 'forte' (for-tay), and he will always prefer a Rieira/Maxi/Yossi to taking a punt on a youngster
Here we go same old Rafa doesn't trust youth nonsense.We are eleven months into Rafa having total football control. Rafa will bring these guys into the first team. We have seen glimpses of that this year and now that he has his men running the system we will see more strides towards our first team being brought largely through the youth system so that they fit in with Rafa's ethos
Who exactly controlled the youth system before this season?Rafa is a cautious manager, and part of this caution manifests in him being hesitant to take a risk with an inexperienced player.I don't particuarly hold that against him, it's just his style - that's why I'm amazed when we are able to recruit the likes of Sterling and Chelvey, they must have huge egos to think they can crack this 1st team - but here's hoping
Only shows your lack of knowledge of our new youth system philosophy. Which is driven by Rafa and involves some of the best youth development people in the business
Tough luck Chelsea, can have Riera if you want?
