Lucas Piazón

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.

Just dribbled into players as he usually does.

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.

Yep.

Considering it was his first senior game ever, it was pretty impressive.

[Madmax 9,219]

Great. Hope to see Lalko break through as well.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Great. Hope to see Lalko break through as well.

100% agree, a forgotten possible gem imo.

Lalkovic is currently a bench player at a mid-table Portoguese side at age 20...used to show promise but I'd say he's been bypassed by Piazon, Bamford, and B.Clifford, and that's only the older players.

[ja1 1,166]

Well the oldest of the younger players..

don't you think he should ripping apart the U21 league if he was that great talent as we all think he is and like the chelsea board thought he is When they bought him in 7 milion pound! the same price that we pay for azpi!!! and the same as marin!

just came in my mind after chelsea U21 match recently...
