As you can see in the Tweet embedded below, Bright Akwo-Mbi and Jamal Musiala have left our youth setup for the German giants.

Why panic? I mean lets be honest for our record with youth, which I dont expect to dramatically change even with Frank it isnt going to be a colossal loss. They could end up good players yes but if we have seen one thing in the past its that young players dont always pan out either. The academy is very good, true, but its not like weve had one year only and the rest have been mediocre  weve seen before different age groups all being successful.... the academy will keep producing, losing two or three is not necessarily the biggest problem, not getting them involved with the first team is.

Jamal Musiala - Bayern Munich

Musiala is a player Chelsea may already be regretting letting go.

He has already scored three times for Bayern Munich since being handed his Bundesliga earlier this year, including a fine strike in the recent 3-3 draw with RB Leipzig.

The attacking midfielder moved to the Allianz Arena in 2019 following his departure from west London.

There's no doubt he would be part of Frank Lampard's plans if the Chelsea boss had been employed at Stamford Bridge earlier.

Now he looks set to become the latest English youngster to shine in Germany and now it could cost megabucks to bring him to the Premier League.

This aged well.

Doing well for Bayern. Hats off to the guy.

Fucked up letting Jamal go. Seems like we tend to let the class players go and keep the average ones. SMH.

half of the only 6 players rated over £100m on T-Markt were either ours or had a try-out with us and we did not sign them (Mbappe)

lolol

in the top 100 highest valued players

only 3 other players were let go by a club for shit money because that club thought they were not good enough

Serge Gnabry (by Arsenal)

Luis Alberto (by Liverpool)

and of course, another ex Chels (Declan Rice)

if that is not a damning statement on our lack of discernment in terms of letting great young players go

nothing is

 

Kimmich's low fee was because he ran his contract down and forced a move (Bayern's favourite power play, often for frees) same for de Vrij (who left on a free to Inter after refusing to renew) Sancho refused to renew with Shitty as well
