Good to know the club are searching for right team when they are trying to get loans for players rather them financial need. To bad some haven't worked out like that in the past, with Davila and Delac coming plainly to mind.

I'm really happy to read about the strategies and philosophy in the club now.

It's a good investment - to sign the players when they're potentials and consequently less expensive - and then give them chances to keep developing until they're ready to finish their development with us, especially with a master in polishing gems like José Mourinho.

Everything seems to be coming together, great timing (getting Emenalo in place, Roman's change of vision, Mourinho joining and the signings themselves).

I do hope they really start taking the Academy more seriously - and it won't be just nice words to get a few thumb ups - England desperately need to revive their academies and I'd feel so proud if we were the pioneers doing that. I want to have more cases like John Terry in the team. It's a respectful thing and England needs to keep its status as one of the big countries in football for EPL to continue to be successful.

It was a good article at the right time and explained some of the decision making, especially about the part about Lukaku, Ba and Torres.

Interesting point about Vitesse always giving our players the game time they promise. Hopefully that means that they intend on somehow fitting the four wingers we currently have on loan there into their plans.

Piazon and Kakuta can play through the middle, so I guess that provides some flexibility to their plans.
