Marko Marin: "Sevilla want to keep me, they want to buy me outright" I know it's not very ethical to take advantage of people with clear mental disabilities but if someone in the Sevilla board is actu

One glimpse at the Willian thread before that game and people were praying we go no where near him. We have the most fickle fans in the league.

Did he play? Was he good? When are you going to buy him? :Goober:

He played 20 mins, you could see it's a player with lot's of experience and talent, but has a long way to go before he will play like before Chelsea..

And i am buying nothing, i'm not even an Anderlecht fan

Are you a Chelsea fan?

I'm an Anderlecht fan.

And I'm also a Belgian that is tired of 16-17 year old players being snatched away from our "Mickey Mouse League" just to waste 3-4 years on the bench of a foreign team that's far too big for them to start at. :)

Then what are you doing on a forum for Chelsea fans?

Lol no need to get a little defensive. Just curious.

Well, you came over as offensive. ;-)

I came here after they signed the guy in your profile pic, and stayed because it's a fun forum.

I liked Chelsea in the Zola-days, I kind of disliked them in the first Abramovic years, now I like them again.

I don't like the fact youngsters come to England to bury themselves though. If young players thought about experience in stead of money, Anderlecht would have Januzaj and Musonda Jr. in its starting lineup today. They'd start getting plenty of first team experience, plenty of CL matches and they could transfer to England or Spain or whatever when they're like 19-20-21 years old. For tons of cash instead of some copper coins. We don't keep pumping out these talents by accident. We know what we're doing apparently. Let us.

For example, if Chelsea had bought Eden as a 17-year old, he probably wouldn't be the superstar he is today...

Well coming over as offensive was not my intention nor do I think my questions were offensive, but alright ;)

The reason why they buy the players so young is because they want them to be eligible for the "home-grown quota" (I don't like this rule and wish it wouldn't exist, because of the reasons you stated just on a bigger scale than just Belgium). Also, it's not like Belgium has been pumping out these talents for decades or something. You are having a golden age, like Spain has been having. Long may it continue, of course.

No we've been pumping them out since about 2005, when we had a lost generation (bar Kompany, who made it by his own sheer talent and willpower), threw away everything we knew about training kids and started all over again with a new system. Since then, other countries come visit our centres. Even the Dutch. :)

There will not always be an exceptional player like Eden, but our level won't drop all the way down again, our base is solid now.
