i dont "feel for them" at all.

players like papy and baba were starters in their teams. they saw chelsea coming, and they happily took the chance to grab some money and "play" for a big club. what did they think was going to happen? jose would drop GC, JT and zouma to play papy? jose would drop azpi/iva to play baba when he did not do that for 13/14's best LB in the world?

these players would definitely know what is going to happen and yet they sign for a big "club". that goes for the "youth signings" too. so these guys pretty much self destroy their careers.

Who?

[WilsonMay 12]

Was he even on the bench?

[OhForAGreavsie 6,060]

Who?

I was going to say that. Got to admit though that you tell it better than me.

I think he knew that he would just be squad filler when signing for us. I don't blame him though, going from the last year of a contract with a half decent ligue 1 team to one of the biggest clubs in the world with a big salary increase is not bad. Even if he leaves next season, there will probably be clubs like West Brom, Villa etc looking to sign him.

IS HE READY OR NAH!?

Or if he can play in the pivot.

Baba is one for the future, but Papy is something else. I can't see him ever getting a chance for the first team at this rate. What on earth was he bought for?

Sums up why England's youth players rarely live up to their billing too, jump at the money and the 'big club' stature and don't stay put for their own development. At the same time dude, you can blame their representation. Agents are one the biggest reasons these kids are jumping ship, after all it's in their interest more so than their clients to secure a big move. There are exceptions, and that's if your talent enables you to walk into these big teams and be a regular. Sterling is showing that, as was Shaw, Stones would have probably been a regular fixture in our squad.

But yeah, Papy and Baba knew what they were coming into. The former was signed as a last minute deal to compensate for losing out on Stones and the latter was just brought in for additional cover.

PLAY HIM ANYWHERE
