I'd love things to turn out rosy, as it is something many of us have been calling for.

One plus of the transfer ban

It will man, it will. If we dont win shit this year, we will likely establish at least two youth players that will help us win trophies in the next 5-10 years.

We’d have established at least two youth players without fucking up our chances regardless. Same as we did last season with Cho and RLC. Lamps would naturally give more minutes to homegrown.

All this is just making us less competitive in all fronts without any real benefit.

now if the manager and coaches believe James can offer about the same, then it kinda makes sense given how little Zapa played.

It's not only about age and youth. Pulisic and CHO are better than Willian and Pedro. Mount is better than Barkley and James I'm sure will prove to be better than Azpi. That's not the case with Abraham and Tomori at the moment and that's why they should play less.

In certain situations, yes. Better at what? We use the word “better” which usually encompasses a lot: like a particular characteristic that we value, an ability we value, and finally perhaps a deficiency we don’t mind. In other words personal preference plays a big part. At defending and tactics, not even close.

pulisic was average against Leicester and that will happen a lot this season given his age and fact he’s not used to the PL.

cho had several poor games last season, which is also normal and expected.

senior players oscillate less. Willian is a weird one, but I’d not put Pedro in the same boat.

experience is much downplayed around here. And yet you look at the teams winning silverware and the vast majority of their players are very experienced. When a team like Ajax loses to a mediocre team like spurs in UCL, folks say wow but they are a young team, as an excuse.

even the physicality is different with younger players usually being more lightweight. So they are far more likely to get bullied by say a team like Leicester.

so it is relative imo. Point being it’s nice to have options. I don’t agree that merely throwing youngsters in the team will make them develop.

Extended his contract and loaned him until January. 

What in the fuck are we doing?

Good bit of business there by the club.

another Chelsea board masterclass. Well done

[Milan 17,835]

This does not sound like he is coming back in January. Or anytime. At all.

[the wes 7,212]

“Zappacosta’s on loan for six months, with an automatic renewal until June 2020 if exceptional conditions with relation to Chelsea’s transfer ban don’t arrive. These conditions are a precaution on Chelsea’s part, since they cannot sign any new players.

“He’s an important player and therefore we accepted these precautions which, however, aren’t particularly significant. The player will stay here for a year and prove his worth. After that, considerations will be made in June 2020.”

So Zappacosta and Drinkwater are on loan till January just in case if someone of our players get serious injury because we can't sign new players.
