the wes 7,212 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Leeds United chairman Ken Bates says Tom Taiwo's family was wrong to take their son to Chelsea.He told the Telegraph: "So many players are poached bybig clubs and disappear. The parents have a heavy responsibility tothink about their son's long-term career ahead of short-term gains. TomTaiwo [taken from Leeds by Chelsea] is on loan at Carlisle. No disrespect to Carlisle but it is not quite what he thought he would get when he signed for Chelsea."Frank Arnesen [Chelsea's sporting director] is supposed to have spent over £30 million and not one has come through. The problem is that in Chelsea's position they need the instant finished article, so they go out and buy.'' Telegraph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 @stevei think he should shut the fuck up, c'ause he should know better, 2010 will definit. be the year of our youngsters, and i think Taiwo isnt a bad player at all... so leeds WAS a big club at the moment it isnt any more... he nearly ruined us and did the same to leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Not one has come through hey Batesy? Erm, look again pal. Michael Mancienne has made a name for himself and has come through our ranks. Sam Hutchinson has come through, . As has Fabio Borini and Jeffrey Bruma,Wish people would think before they speak.

Cameron 30 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Not one has come through hey Batesy? Erm, look again pal. Michael Mancienne has made a name for himself and has come through our ranks. Sam Hutchinson has come through, . As has Fabio Borini and Jeffrey Bruma,Wish people would think before they speak.No player has come through as a starter for Chelsea. And if Borini and Bruma count as players who have "come through" - then Arsenal have had 20+ players coming through in the past few seasons.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 What Ken Bates fails to see is that Sam Hutchinson, Michael Mancienne, Jacob Mellis, Fabio Borini and company have all broken into the first team to some extent. The old bastard needs some new teeth ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
