And I have seen average teams winnings titles just because they have a top striker...

I am chill, I have reread what you said and I would rewrite everything I said if I have to... The overall point of my argument is that the club and Jose is doing the right moves, so people should stop criticizing them and acting like our youth players are our saving grace and that if they were here Chelsea would be winning all games by 5-0!

Not in the slightest! Nobody in here knows the strategy Mourinho is taking, he has been here for only one transfer season. It is absolutely pathetic to say he isnt creating a 'dynasty' because he decided to loan a few promising players (as if a dynasty meant using young players)... Jose is for the long term and he knows that. If he was worried with the short term results, he would have spent hundreds of millions on a bunch of players and released a whole other bunch. Did he do that? No! All he did was loan some players (he doesnt yet trust to lead our team) and relly on the dudes he was once victorious with (the old guard, so to speak). There is nothing wrong with that, even if it is not working! A youth player must first spend sometime with the first team, then he goes back to the youth, then he comes back and get some more involvement with the team, then he goes on loan again if necessary and then he starts playing. That is how Barcelona, Ajax and Santos have done throughout all those decades (the three best developers in the world). You dont rush it! I also want the same things you (and others) do, which is to have a balance between big signings and youth. But, just like the people who run the club, I have a different mentality on how we should approach and ultimately reach that balance. Going slowly and taking things step by step is the best way to develop a player. You dont throw them into the trenches because the risk is too high...

That is not the point. The point is that saying Falcao isnt even the best striker in France is meaningless for the argument of buying or not buying him. Ok, Falcao isnt the best player in France, so what? What part of it plays into the argument of him being a good signing or not? The only conclusion I get to is that you are saying we shouldnt buy him because he isnt the best striker in the world. Like clubs only have to sign the absolute best in order for it to be worth it...

What? You hoped Mourinho would have gone for a 'dynasty', what does that fucking means? Who said that creating a dynasty is playing inexperienced (and even doubtful) teenagers? We have a lot of promising youngsters, but nothing concrete yet. We have no idea how the finishing products will look like. There is absolutely no reason why Mourinho (or anyone else) should bet their success (be that long term or not) on pure bets! The development of a player takes time, no one will come out with 18yo and earn a starting place at a club with big aspirations. The risk is too high! Some Chelsea fans are totally inexperienced with how these stuff works (we are new to it and England isnt known for knowing how to develop a player), so they simply believe (in their narrow minded vision) a player has to be given a chance in the first team if they show potential. Acting as if this was all a mathematics expression based on a linear growth. However, that couldnt be more wrong! There are many nuances to it, both regarding the actual footballing part of it (skills, attributes, tactical awareness, etc) and the mental part of it (ego, dressing room ethics, etc). (I can elaborate more on that if you want to) This is the problem I have with the people who think our youth academy is all flowers...

You are such a bitter human being...

Yeah right, everyone of our youngsters are future Ballon D'or winners and we wont have to buy any other players for the next 10 years! I dont even know why we have Mourinho and Emenalo in charge, you clearly know a lot more than both of them...

People in here are so naive when it comes to youth academies and their expectations, it is unbelievable!

It is not like FIFA didnt know there would be huge games after the 15th of November! This voting is a bit ridiculous to be quite honest...

If the voting was still open, Ronaldo would win it hands down...

HULK!!! Excellent assist from Oscar...

The problem is that only one or two people make that type of comment and then, all of a sudden, the whole forum goes nuts and start discussing stupid things like Jose getting saked. Members should just ignore when they see stupid posts... (it would help the forums a lot)

So what? I think Falcao is better than all the strikers you listed there, bar the two PSG stars! It is hilarious how you treat my statement as only my opinion and yours as a pure fact. There are a lot of people out there who think Falcao is the best striker in the world right now. It absolutely makes your point invalid because saying he isnt even the best striker in France means fuck all. Just like saying Ronaldo isnt even the best player in Spain means fuck all...

And Ronaldo isnt even the best player in Spain...

Have you actually bothered to read the rest of my one line post?

It is because Jose is shit, cant you see it? We were definitely better with TFSW, we were world beaters with the free flowing football we were playing. We obviously need him back. GO RAFA!

I'm Bosnian for the day!

Wow, I agree a goalkeeper made 2 mistakes in 15 appearances! It obviously proves he is a shit player and should be benched...

Oh, for some reason I thought Ibra and Cavani were the joint-top scorer and Falcao was right behind! Thanks... But it only adds to my argument: Falcao is in a much worse team and still has great numbers! (excellent really) No, he is not worth Torres + £52 million, but who is?

He has 9 goals in 13 games dude, what are you talking about? Monaco are in a big squad formatiom period, they just started buying good players (having off-loaded 12 of them) and they were in the Ligue 2 last season. Even if they have bough great players like Joao Moutinho and Jaimes Rodriguez, they arent half of the team Atletico Madrid is, which counts a lot for Falcao's lack of goals. And even then, he is the third top scorer in Ligue 1!

LOL, absolutely pathetic! 1. Bayern - Cech kept us in the game, we would have lost way before if not for him. 2. Villa - Ok, although I disagree it was a mistake, he could have saved it. 3. City - No one would have saved that, no one! 4. WBA - The only horrible goal he has concedes this season, I grant you that. Now, look up at the other top keepers in the world and tell me one that has fewer mistakes than Cech....

Let him stay there for 1.5 years, I dont care!

I'd much prefer to sign Gundogan or Witsel than to sign Pogba...

Mourinho went to see our Belgiums and Falcao happened to be there, imo. This is a complete no story! But I would love for us to sign him...

Oscar said in a interview today that Mourinho tried to sign him two years ago when he was in Real Madrid, but the negotiations didnt go through due to Real's big number of CAMs...
