Santiago. 1,500 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 So we already have KDB,moses,oscar,piazon,hazard,mata,thorgan,kakuta in his position so dont get the point in signing him.Me neither. How many wonder kids do we have now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Me neither. How many wonder kids do we have now?From what I've heard, this kid is more of a striker which differentiates him slightly from those players mentioned.Plus we're sorely missing an 18 year old striker with promise. We've got a 19 year old (Lukaku) and a 17 year old (Feruz) so this is simply plugging those glaring gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Hate Scouse 10,330 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Me neither. How many wonder kids do we have now?If anything it's incredibly smart for us to be getting in "wonder kids". They will play a huge part in our future and FFP.Either they get better and we sell for profit or they get good enough to play in the first team. Win/win.Am I also right in thinking the academy and money spent on younger players isn't effected by FFP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We all love to see these talented kids being bought.However, are Chelsea ready to give them a chance to play one day ?Please be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.Thomas Kempis.Just in case, I get an attack coming my way.

Peace. 4,352 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Already having Pierre Paul and Jacques isn't a valid argument. Expecting that every youths we have at our disposal will turn out to be good enough to play for an elite club is to build castles into the air. How many of them will turn out to be good enough to be a starter in a above average team (by that I mean a team contending for the Europa League, as in Tottenham, etc.) ? Not a plethora, definitely. And how many of them will blossom into a player good enough to be a starter into an elite team ? Even less.We shouldn't not buy that kid because this kid is deemed to be a future superstar. That is why I do not see any problems in us getting a lot of them. It's more or less a win-win situation... If they all turn to be good (which won't happen by any means), then we will be able to pick some of our choice to play in the first team, and make profit on some others. If they do not all turn out te be good (which will be the case), then we will have more chance to have in our hand two or three good players (yes, the more we have talents in our academy, the more the chance are that one of them will be a great player).P.S. If there's a problem somewhere, that's more about the way we handle them than how many of them we do buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy all the wunderkinds and eventually one is bound to break into the first team...A bit off topic but is "Pierre, Paul and Jacques" the French equivalent to "Tom, Dick and Harry"? Or did you make that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy all the wunderkinds and eventually one is bound to break into the first team...A bit off topic but is "Pierre, Paul and Jacques" the French equivalent to "Tom, Dick and Harry"? Or did you make that up?No, I didn't make that up. It's a French idiom. Though I don't know whether it is commonly used. I neither know whether I give it its real mean ! For me, saying "Pierre, Paul et Jacques" is equivalent to saying "X, Y and Z". Like naming unspecified people.From what I get about "Tom, Dick and Harry", that's : "Fig. everyone, without discrimination; ordinary people.". So no, that is not exactly the same idiom, into my mind.However, as I told you, I do not know whether I give to "Pierre Paul Jacques" its right meaning ! It could actually means the same as "Tom, Dick and Harry"..P.S. After some research, it could be the equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Reports on SSN that he hasn't agreed anything:http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8496098/Partizan-Belgrade-star-Lazar-Markovic-says-no-deal-is-done-with-ChelseaLooks a good player and 10 million (euros?) - would be a great bargain....I'd expect him to be purchased and loaned back out for a season though... But that's cool, seems to be working with some of our players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should not expect every player to make, but we shouldn't also expect none of them to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
