Lucas Piazón

I'd be surprised if he makes more than 5 appearances unless we have serious injury problems.

What winning nothing and losing them to bigger and better things before they reach they peak? no thanks.

I mean playing them regularly in the shit cup games and seeing how far they get.

Yeah Arsenal have won nothing, but they hae developed some great players and cashed in quite a lot.

If we could use that model with our ability to win things - we would be unstoppable!

[Sheva. 5,373]

He's not with the U-21 squad for tonight's game, so most likely he's with the first team.

When was the last player who we let go and went on to become a star somewhere else?

Sinclair, Borini, Stoch, Carlton Cole, Jack Cork.

Sinclair, Borini, Stoch, Carlton Cole, Jack Cork.

add Robben, Diara & Thiago to that list. Hell Crespo was still money & Veron captained Estudiantes to Glory when he returned to Argentina.

Sinclair, Borini, Stoch, Carlton Cole, Jack Cork.

Sinclair isn't Chelsea standard, Borini is currently flopping at Liverpool, Stoch p***ed off to Turkey where he's disappeared, Cork did well in the Championship but he (as well as Stoch and Borini) WANTED to leave, while Carlton Cole..come on.

Stoch has actually done quite well. Hes actually been quite a good player for Fenerbahce. Borini is a good player I'd have him back in an instance so I'm hoping he scores against us tbh (just so we can buy him back thats the whole joke).

Sinclair, Borini, Stoch, Carlton Cole, Jack Cork.

A clubs with teams no where near as strong as Chelsea. If we played all them lot in our starting lineup, we would be a midtable side.

Sinclair, Borini, Stoch, Carlton Cole, Jack Cork.

Not one of those players would be playing regularly, if at all, for Chelsea. None of them is remotely close to being a star. We have hundreds of youth players that come and go, we really have two choices.

1) Keep every single one until they are 35 which means having about 20 youth teams and spending millions of pounds on players who will never become anything.

2) Use our best judgement and let most of them move on. This means that inevitably, a few will develop into decent players.

I believe the question you put forward was what players that we've let go became stars elsewhere - hence that little list. If you ask me whether I think those players would be stars at Chelsea - no they wouldn't.

Great performance by Kaka Piazon tonight!

Great? Really? Decent game. Not a very good one, let alone Great.

Just dribbled into players as he usually does.

[Madmax 9,219]

Wasn't this the first senior game of his career? I seem to remember reading somewhere that he hadn't featured for Sao Paolo's senior side when we'd signed him.
