LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Nah I dont agree with that mate, when we signed Deco he was well past it, he looked awful in his final year at Barcelona. Kaka on the other hand has really started to find his form the last couple of months, stunning performances against Valencia and Sevilla show that he still has a lot to give.That's true. There was that impressive stat about assist too. The crucial element will be if he can settle in time, which means he must be present in pre-season. Hope you're right, like I said though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 10,227 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 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 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I agree, on loan yes, if we want to spend 30m on him, then we should rather risk with someone younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
