WOW! Can't believe we managed to sign all 4 of them! They look great holding that kit.

Fake. That's the kit from 12/13.

[Cosmin 2,484]

In my opinion, that photo might be fake

sure that is fake u should know it a photoshop if It real the web will go down for a while

[Term-X 7,891]

we don't need 8

So you'd rather have a small squad?, heck.. why not go the whole hog and fuck with FFP too, and get sanctions from UEFA like City have done in the UCL, thinner the squad the better!. This is an english club, we should have an english backbone, some 'supposed' Chelsea 'fans' don't understand how important it is for the culture..

By the looks of it, we'll have a 17 man squad in a few years time.

how small squad? Bir_CFC explained it. 17 non HG + 4 HG + 4 or more U21's like Lukaku Zouma makes a full squad

Would obviously like to have an English spine running through the club like JT/Frank/Ash. I quoted you because you mentioned we need 8 which is not the case

Cahill will be the only home-grown player at Chelsea football club in a few years time then.

Quality english players come along once in a blue moon.

Who would have thought Cahill would have been as good as he was for us a few years ago?

Fair point..

Again though.. they are few and far between, so when an 18 year old becomes one of the best left backs in the country you have to take notice of that. Anyways, I'm not as concerned as it might seem, I know the club share my view, otherwise they wouldn't have chased Rooney, that deal wasn't entirely for football reasons.

Fabregas too maybe

He said the hardest player he has played against is Moses. LOL!

Isn't that what people were saying about Micah Richards when he was 18? It's now been several years since he broke out and despite being a key player for City in their 11/12 season, he really hasn't lived up to the hype.

I get what you're saying but I just think to base spending excessive money on a teenager (who has played only two seasons of senior football) because of some unfounded fear of missing out on the latest big English talent is extremely misguided in my opinion. Think back to all the hype that surrounded Micah Richards when he broke out, since then several other English talents have emerged. Yes we need to rebuild an English core, but you're making it out to seem as if landing Luke Shaw is the be all and end all. We would all love to have him in the team but if we miss out on him then there'll be another highly coveted English talent.

Micah was a big fish in a small pond, now he's irrelevant in a big pond. They even got Sagna to play over Micah...

Shaw could be really good, but I never buy into English hype. Except OX, OX is England's best young talent in years.....That includes Sturridge as well.
