It was a perfect time to give Bamford a chance here, 4/5months then if he didnt impress flog him,with Costas injury doubts,Remy being Remy and the sad demise of Falcao,imho sensible timing to keep him and a have a good look.But then its CFC we're talking about !

I don't know about you but I think that Champions league hopes are all gone unless we win it. So it is perfect time to check if some youngsters have what it takes to play for Chelsea. Players like Bamford, Traore, RLC, Kenedy, Baba and maybe even Musonda should be given a proper chance to prove themselves. 

But this is Chelsea .. we will rather bring Pato who is injury prone and had average stats in Brazilian league than play Bamford in those 2 games that he will eventually play. #sad

We still need to secure a respectable position in the league table, if we secure top 8 we could probably convince potential signings that this season was a one off, especially if we are in the top 4 or maybe even top of the "second half of the season table" but if we finish mid table then it will be hard to convince players.

Although I do agree we need to play some young players, not Bamford.

Sorry, but that's not at all convincing. There is no difference between 7th or 17th. The motivation for players to join us with CL football is the name and ambitions of the club and the money we offer. Heck, even Inter still manage to get players based on their name alone, and they can't even offer decent money anymore! 

When we're safe from relegation, and top 4 is certainly impossible, there are NO excuses not to play youngsters.

Of course their is, top players wont want to join a team that just avoided the drop, whereas a strong end to the season with a respectable finish and we can probably convince them that this year outside the CL is a one off and we will back, especially if Leicester and Spurs get in.

I'm not saying it is an excuse not to play them because it aint, in my opinion we should be stating with Ruben at least now, but a strong second half season is very much needed in my opinion, not just for the reason I gave but to bring some sort of momentum and feel good factor back ready for next season.

Why not Bamford?

 

Because, in my opinion, he isn't good enough.

But I just don't agree with the assumption that to players would refuse to sign for us, even if we finish 17th. The ambitions for next season will be the same whether we finish 8th or 17th; we are one of the most successful clubs in Europe in the past 12 years and everyone knows our financial powers.

I'm not saying it won't be a factor at all, but saying that all top players would refuse to sign with us because of it is pretty baseless, imo.

Needs to break into a PL team or he risks ending up a championship striker for most of his career. 

Time running out for CFC chance imho ,thought keeping him here for 4/5 months then deciding to keep him or sell him would have been the perfect oppurtunity
