I like sala too i think he is a good player , very stong he can also cover a number of positions !

The thing that worries me is we have so many special young talented players in the midfield or defensive area, but we only have borini as a special young forward. Other than borini i don't see anyone giving us another option,( i count sturridge as a first team player) i like a good variation of young talented players that have different skills, so we can save money in the long run in the market. Di santo has had a very tough time at blackburn, and that could knock the premiership taste out of his mouth tbh. I think our scouting network should work hard in finding a potential future second striker in the baggio or aguero role like a little zola, so in the future all these young players can do for us what barca's academy do for them and that is service the first team. The young players we have in the academy now we are well on our way in doing what barca do, these boys are the most exciting in our history !

I see your point as they have different qualities but that is just my opinion. Josh plays the game with pure elegance were connor plays with instinct like gerrard does.

This video was posted on another thread a few weeks back !

McEachran is a better more refined player. Clifford is similar to what gerrard was when he was young !

Thats a big shame esk i remember lampard being excited about woods a few seasons ago.

I don't want him to stay now he can F off, he is a money grabbing prick who ain't that special. We have young players who are hungry to succeed now, is it me or is it just english players in our team that act like greedy pricks when contracts are being negotiated ?. We did not even know essien was in talks he just signed it, carvalho had no problem neither did mikel or ballack when he took a huge wage cut. Terry lampard joe cole act like bloody morons, they let the media stur things up so it puts pressure on the club.

When did i say that you piece of shit ? rooney terry essien Drogba and ronaldo make decisions for themselves based on their bodies. Mikel is a clever individual who came from a very privileged back ground, he was educated in a private school. He knows when he will be risking his future fitness, all them players you have mentioned have been out for a further 3 weeks or so after they have played under an injection. Pain relief injections are a short term solution but a long term problem. Players from affluent background's usually are very careful with there injuries and they understand long term is better than short term.

We don't need Gourcuff anyway with kakuta and josh we have 2 very special playmakers.

We really dont need wingers with no pace what so ever !

He is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to similar to brano, strong centre back that has the agility to play right back.

Yes like you can tell the future, you have already said essien will never play another season again without getting injured. What else can you see in that big fat south american crystal ball.

Essien is out with long term injuries to the knee, thats 1 injury. Torres injures his ankle then he pulls a hamstring then he breaks a nail then his make up comes off. He is way to fragile, he has even said he is afraid to be kicked out of this league.

Yes but man utd bought ronaldo (a quick 18 year old winger with tricks) for 12 million and added so many components to his game that "one trick ronaldo" became one of the best wide players of this generation in the world, he was also only 23 when real madrid signed him. Torres is a injury proned world class player that might only play 20 games a season in all comps.

Mikel is a very mature player he is one of the youngest ever players to be trusted to play in a championsleague semi final at anfield against a crowd that scream like wild apes for 90 mins. He has made a decision on him his own about his injury, he does not want to be sebastian deisler who used to play 60% fit and he ends his playing days at the age of like 25. John terry and rooney play when injured and then they are out for a extra month, rooney played in the championsleague when he was like 50% and he just aggravated the injury more !

I like him more than mourinho he is a better manager in my opinion, his calm attitude breezes through the club. He is also very smart tactically, he knows which games to play mikel or too play essien. The game against fulham he started mikel because he knew its a derby match that Fulham will be up for it, so he started someone who can retain the ball in midfield, he started with mikel and he had a 93% pass accuracy for that game according to opta stats. The game against liverpool at anfield which really clinched the title he played kalou on the left knowing mascherano was playing right back, he clearly told the players to keep getting the ball out to the left wing and kalou beat him a number of times.

I would rather have kevin davies !

Players are dropping like dead flies.

We have by far the best young talents in the league, i think in the next 10 years we will have a majority players from the academy.

The scary thing is he is only 17 lol and he already shows the vision of someone twice his age . The fact that kakuta and josh are so good technically means in the future any one we sign or even borini upfront are going to have a absolute field day in terms of chances in and around the box. I watch young players like kakuta, josh and bruma and just think, we have 2 players that will save us 30 million in the transfer market in the future, because it is very hard the find these types of players and clubs that will sell them.

He has made it at premiership level but he is not the cream of the crop and in my opinion he never had the chance too because he lacks in technical talent just a wee bit, but as a target man he is good.

He should not playin the sate he is in why are ivory coast doing this ?

He has a fantastic footballing brain with really good vision, he is very similar to jack wilshire in terms of his ability to find space and use his vision. I really like our youth, i watch chelsea tv every day and i see players like kakuta bruma and josh with there footballing ability.These are the types of players that make it in football not the players who dominate youth and reserves with pure power (carlton cole).
