Norwich U18's v Chelsea U18's (FA Youth Cup)

[eldo 868]

What a dull game.

[eldo 868]

Norwich missed 2, Chalobah scored.

Piazon makes it 2.

It ends 4-2 for Chelsea.

through on penalties

can't say i would have been upset if we had lost I have lost ALL faith in the abilty of our academy to produce even a squad player ,,,

looks like a massive waste of money ,, Something is badly wrong either our scouting or the coaching of the youth

Why waste of money?

[zolayes 14,489]

Why waste of money?

we have paid big money for many of our under 17 signings

Why waste of money?

Not too many of the lads were found in or around the Fulham area were they, they were bought in

Don't you think basing your opinion on them over one game is a bit harsh?

If we are only looking there then we won't do well.

Obviously,The point still remains until we start producing senior squad players on a more regular basis Zolayes is right, its a waste of money buying these kids in only for them to be pimped out around the globe and make nothing of themselves here

not based on one game or one season ...the last player to come from our academy and graduate as a first team player was

John Terry ,,,who the next one will be be God only knows

Since that what you wrote is really overused by chelsea fans, i will ask you this. Who was the last one to come from Arsenal academy before Wilshere?

I dont give a shit about arsenal ,,Im talking about OUR academy and the money we spend on it and the return we get from it.

we have spent a lot ,,,and got back a pittance in transfer fees and FUCK ALL where it matters..on the pitch

that's got nothing to do with our lack of youth coming through. There is no need for comparisons to be drawn with other clubs. It's a simple case of being dissatisfied with what WE have done.

Ake, Chalobah and Islam appear to be great prospects to my eyes.

People who think Piazon will son walk into the first team will have to be very patient I think.

Thank you. In terms of potential Piazon is one of our best young players but in terms of hype he's also probably the most overhyped. Feruz is also hyped alot but although he was poor tonight he has done very well this season and no one assumes he should be starting every game after scoring a deflected shot like Piazon TBF.

Also there's always one self-piteous person who cries about Terry being the last one to come through, oh woe is me, Chelsea are rubbish with youths. This is getting tiresome. Name me one player we have let go who could have been Chelsea quality since Terry. Just one. Beckford? Lita? Mancienne? Sahar? Cole? Don't make me laugh.

It is not Chelsea that was wrong it was the youths. They were not good enough. After Roman came in he spent alot on the academy and scouring it's only now it's coming through. The likes of Mancienne would have gone through a system made for where Chelsea were before Roman came in. Now stop crying over spilt milk and try and be happy our youth is doing well which right now is the most we could ask for
