The sentence above is my concern. I do not know from what (web)site it does come from, but come on. To say we have included Ferreira because we do not have cover for Ashley.... And Bertrand is a gardener ?

ps : I hope it isn't our official website.

No, it's from the Guardian.

The rules are a little confusing, but from my understanding, it seems Bertrand couldn't have been included because out of the quota of 8 homegrown players, only 4 can be association trained and not club trained.

Terry is the only one who comes under club trained.

Lampard, Turnbull, Sturridge and Cole complete the 4 man association trained quota.

Since Bertrand has been out on so many loans, his time at Chelsea isn't long or consecutive enough to fulfill home trained conditions.

So essentially, if we had to register Bertrand, he would have to be registered as a non homegrown player. But AVB chose to pick Ferreira for that spot instead.

I can only sympathise with Lukaku, but especially with Bertrand.

We've sold Yury Zhirkov and let Patch go out on loan, promoting him to second in the left-back pecking order.

But instead of getting experience against Bayer Leverkusen and Valencia in the final two group stage games, he'll be playing reserve fixtures at Griffin Park. My support in AVB has decreased dramatically.

Youth integration? Is it fuck, it's the same overpaid, underperforming has-beens.

I still support the man, like i once did with Carlo.

But i been criticizing from the beginning for two things.

Criticize for Lampard from Pre season. And criticize him for youth from the beginning of the season!

Let's hope AVB realizes the error of his ways and correct this mishandling of youth, and Lampard in the coming games.

Guys think maybe your overreacting a little bit with the kalou case. yeah hes not a juan mata never mind a leo messi but sometimes with the exclamation marks i feel its a little taken out too far

and well mind AVB won the europa league [yeah its different from the CL i know] with a porto squad though consisting of some nice players. it were hardly a one like man citys squad with their tevez's [insert overpaid midfileder who can get in starting team number 3,4,9,11 and 6] and also consider braga did not have much of a team ethier in comparison

but yeah its annoying how we cant give bertrand and lukaku the CL experience and it will rather be a bit of a sad sight to see em at the reserve matches while our squad is sparring with the valencias leverkusens etc. just feel worse for bertrands case

though hopefully this season will cement the making of mceachran into a fine player and who knows bolton might do the trick for kakuta and we have more good midfielders

Just keep hope guys yeah theres been some undesired options guys. but i wouldnt exactly say this would do damage to a decent to good extent of my faith in AVB....just will make me go o_O

and though kalou aint exactly candy to everyones eyes. we got mata and maybe a few others that could hit form and do more good than well what you guys are thinking the bad of kalou to do

and besides still remember about a year ago some of you guys were cheering on kalou. even one of ya guys were gonna get a shirt with his name on it. who says that wont repeat itself

Leaving out Bertrand from the CL squad and having Ferreira on bench while Ivanovic is also there is fucked up... if I were Ryan, I'd be really pissed. Our youth policy is the best in the world. And he's already 22, and hasn't still got a proper chance and is still being looked over. It pains me to say this but it would be best for him to leave the club if this continues.

Precisely, now or never. Instead Bertrand and Lukaku will be trying to keep warm in the stands while Paulo Ferreira and Salomon Kalou are playing.

I know what you mean, we have just signed the penalty box monster for 18 million pounds and he will be rocking his baseball cap in the stands while Kalou is losing the ball.

I don't really mind about Lukaku's presence, he will have the opportunity to shine the next years (and even in the second part of the tournament).

The fact Kalou can play is a really good sign that the club want to increase his worth, with all my respect to the corrupted UEFA Champions League, for the standing Chelsea gain for the recent years ; the group stage became like a health walk for us. I don't mind if Kalou scores goals against Genk if we can kick him out to a Bundesliga club for £8m instead of £5m
