Ollie 4,400 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) I want the best players playing for Chelsea first and foremost. Carol, Wickham and Henderson are good players but they aint gonna win them the league. I personally think Henderson is very much overrated anyway and 21m? ok have fun with that, i know Sunderland will. Wasn't long ago we had almost half the England team. JT, Lamps, Parker, Johnson, Bridge and Joe Cole in the squad at the same time then Ashley Cole joined us so even when Parker and Johnson left, we had another one. And all our players get booed anyway. Chelsea comes first always for me although i want to see England do well in World Cups and Euro's, the last 2 were a disgrace. Didn't even qualify for Euro 2008 and i kinda wish we never qualified for that awful WC. If i could get a couple of English players, i'd get Ashley Young and Jack Rodwell but i don't want us just getting English players for the sake of it. Look at Arsenal.... They don't give a shit. They've only had Walcott and Wilshere represent England in the last god knows how long and Walcott is NEVER England quality. If a player is good enough, he'll make it to the National team regardless who he plays for as long as the standard is high. HE may need to drop down but if he's genuinely good, he'll come back up somewhere. And for a team like Chelsea to get Lukaku or Neymar, this will help Belgium and Brazil too so it's still good for football. Giving any youngster a chance in a European giant league is good for football, English, or anyone. Edited June 8, 2011 by OllieCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve5221 91 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Before we start raving about Liverpool and how "English" they are and are trying to be, lets remember that they only buy players that fit a certain criteria(this was said by the new owner Henry, they have to be the right age and have a large future sell on value). This is a template used by US sports teams (do any of the yanks on here know the name of it?).The cynic in me thinks that they can see how much established PL English players are worth in thier prime and they are looking to sell these players on when they reach that stage for a profit. I dont think they give a toss about the players...Does anyone else think this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 If they are good enough i will happily see them wearing blue but tbh im not up for dropping a few league places just to get a better reputation in England.Basically what you said.I'm all for having a lot of english players, granted they are good enough !! And the fact is, english players are no longer good enough ! They are only few of them we can say they have a « world class » level, and there are only few young players who can become very good players.So I won't admire and jealous Liverpool for having Henderson and Caroll. Henderson might become a good player, but if we want to beat team such as Barcelona, he wouldn't be a starting XI material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,363 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 .The cynic in me thinks that they can see how much established PL English players are worth in thier prime and they are looking to sell these players on when they reach that stage for a profit. I dont think they give a toss about the players...Does anyone else think this??When we realise that football clubs are businesses -the players are the companys display items, nothing else. So, no nothing wrong with being cynical about it Steve, thats the reality of it. Bread and Circuses, and it's all about making that particular brand, be it MUFC, Chelsea FC, Real Madrid, profitable.

eldo 868 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 What's the point in buying English players if they aren't top talents?English players should come through our academy...I don't know why are you upset so much about Henderson. Houghton, Chalobah, Bertrand, Terry all captains of their teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinineUltra 1,170 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 English media hypes their players so much, but in reality i can't see that much dominance on the field. For example, England U-21 is full of stars of tomorrow and will they get scrape out narrow wins, if that. What goes around, comes around, I guess.. The club doesn't have the obligation to bring through players, players have to come through, if they make it - great- if they dont, a new club. That's how it works and for an international club like Chelsea, having many international players isn't a bad thing.In my opinion, best youth come from South-America, Balkan region.

Thing is though, they have added another mediocre player to a mediocre squad. Well done Liverpool If we wanted Henderson or players of that calibre we could sign them in 10 minutes. Signing good players takes a little longer. Tthe transfer window doesn't officially open until the 1st of July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aiming a little higher if the summer goes well. There's enough time to make some good moves. I'll start panicking if we haven't improved the squad by August.

Blue In Green 86 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 So no-one thinks we should be trying to provide for a healthy future England team? As an English football team?That's makes me very sad..Chelsea has a worldwide fan base. Being England's U21 would be bad for business. Having one or two is enough. You want us to have Nigel Reo-Coker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
