Nathaniel Chalobah

sell him with a buyback, that would probably be the best option.

that's not a bad idea we should do that with most of are loaned out players I think Barcelona does that with some their players in the past

Good goal as well. He's still only 20.. when confident/motivated has quality. Got an assist for their 5th goal as well. Wonder if he'll be rewarded with more chances

We work with them as they were machines, not our youth for future.

Pure bussiness. That is the sad part of chelsea.

No surprise not even one made it here.

The youth project here is all fake, forced. Trying to look cool, bring 100 players in and they get 5minutes to show, then they are loaned out and again and again.

Matic is clear example. Would never made it here if he wasnt sold. He had great potential, but no one at chelsea had a single clue. They loaned him out. Then he is sold and within 2 years in solid environment around people who actualy give shit, he becomes one of best DMs. I remember how clumsy he was in begining. There was europa league game, he came as sub and realy was like a piece of wood out there (being harsh). But he shown some promise. And he got another chance and another chance. Year later he was brilliant. Try get such chance, people or project here. Its all about money. About club. Sadly.

Then there is Bertrand. Another mistake from the board to sell him. Sure he cant be blamed if he wanted to leave. All he got was words that he will play, but no one rated him.

Thing is, there are better players out there. Its easier to throw few millions and bam, you get top player.

But try get the same loyalty from such player. A youth player will fight for the club. He will stay loyal and wont flee, hide or not give fuck when something is wrong. He will lead the team. Take a look at Terry. No money can buy you that.

If I had two chances; current Messi or 20 year old Terry. I would pick Terry every single time. You can buy players. What you cant buy is youth player coming through ranks and become the face of the team. For decade. They are inspiration. No money can give you that.

Sadly the board knows two shits about how to develop youth.

One of the best posts I've seen on this forum!

Nat and Trevor's mom passed away.  Napoli held a minute silence and dedicated their win to them.

He should have been getting minutes after his loan to Watford. Bloody hell.

Not really. A lot of wishful thinking and rambling.

The whole piece summed up in one line: "He didn't get many minutes in Napoli but he played well in some youth tournament".

Great goal from Chalobah.

[Abreu03 292]

He is much better than the Mikel.

[nono 791]

More potential than RLC imo. Looks much better on the ball.
