Indeed, we missed out on Pato, who I think will be a massive star in the future. Milan, Barca and Madrid have a long standing relationship with Brazilian players and we need to tap into that market. If we get these players in while their young it will save us spending the stupid amounts of money on any half decent player on the market.Its time for the club to step up its efforts to make Chelsea more appealing to young talented players from South America.Africa is another market we should be getting into. Look at the many top African players there are out there now. African players have come on massively in the past 10-15 years or so and they will continue to churn out top players such as Drogba, Essien, Mikel, Kalou, Eto'o, McCarthey, Geremi, Okocha, Weah and er..............Djemba Djemba.Arsenal seem to have that market well covered. We need to branch out more to get the top young talent asap and stop buying stop gap players who'll give us 2 seasons if were lucky.

He's probably looking at it from the point of only having 1 or 2 days to prepare for the game instead of the normal routine build up during the week.Either way, we should have more than enough to see off Derby

Also if we were to become public in our interest in a player it could be seen as tapping up

It was a good idea to use Cole and SWP on the wings. Just a shame they were hoofing it up to Crouch every time they got the ball. Result.........Croatia pick up the ball and attack.

Bridge I thought had a nightmare.I think hes a fantastic player, but last night wasnt one of his better games. Then again England wernt that good overall.

It wont load for me ......
