Kaká

[J.F. 1,484]

Yay for the amazing handling with the whole 'home-grown' thing by Roman and pals!

Term X -

We should really think of signing some English/Great British youngsters to bring some kind of duality between our foreign players and the home grown.

Josh McEachran

[zolayes 14,489]

They are basically gone.

More on the lines of James McCarthy, Phil Jones, Henderson, etc.

the three you named are no better than the ones I did

Brazil national team in an English club led by an Italian coach, owned by one Russian.

One big family

I am all for this if its a loan deal. At the end of the day if he comes to us fit you never know what it could turn out like. He could be exactly what we are looking for in our midfield. I am all for giving youngsters a go but there is only so much game time they are going to get at a club like Chelsea. Josh is only 18 years old and i cannot see him becoming a first team player until he goes out on loan for at least 6 months to another Premier league team so he can show how good he is. Us Chelsea fans know this but to be fair i don't think the coaching staff have enough balls to give him a consistent run.

Kaka has been very injury prone but so are a lot of players, this does not mean they automatically stop knowing how to play football it just means they might lose a bit of pace. Will he get injured again, yes he might but if we get him on loan then this is not really our problem unless we decide to sign him permanently.

[eldo 868]

I agree, on loan yes, if we want to spend 30m on him, then we should rather risk with someone younger.

We will need 8 home grown players in a squad of 25.

We will need 8 home grown players in a squad of 25.

And might help if they had Premier League experience also.

Anyway, This only counts if the player quota is reached.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Oh, and btw.. So much for the home-grown quota, lmao.

If Kaka signed for us, McEachran wouldn't even get a look in, that's why I hate the idea of this big money coup.

Bruma?? Borini??

I have to say Borini for Swansea looks the business! Whether or not he gets regular starts for us is a different matter! I'd like him to get his chance though as optimistic as it may sound!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

A huge drawback of not fulfilling the quota of homegrown talent is we have to have a considerably lower squad (shades of this season).. No point in doing that again
