Bertrand Traoré

[ulvhedin 525]

said this before and will say it again, remy is a must for next season.

I hope so also, would hate it if we change Remy for Falcao, however considering rumors it seems very possible :/

There's no reason he can't play as both a winger & striker in his career. He's just like Eto'o. Seriously, just like him.

Bertrand Traore should now qualify for a work permit

great news get him straight into the squad

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Was always intrigued by him, if the work permit is sorted its great news for us. Its hard to say whether he can make the jump to the Prem and be our right sided goal scorer but I like the thought of having him in our ranks and developing with us.

If he qualifies as a HG talent, that would be very interesting. Does anyone know?

Not a chance. He wasn't Chelsea player until 2nd January 2014. If he stays now he won't have 3 full seasons or 36 months between 15-21 age.

Though for now he will only be registered for Champions League spot.

That's not true, he was here as a trialist for a long time and trained with the youth team...

I'm aware of the HG rules pal. Just wondering whether BT counted since he has been at Chelsea for quite some time (unofficially).

I think unofficially will be the stumbling block. The HG rules talk about players being registered with a (qualifying) club but Bertrand wasn't registered with us until he signed officially in Jan 2014.

Sandro played all of last season without a work permit...

He wasn't Chelsea player until 2nd January 2014, how can you claim that is not true ??

Chelsea & Mourinho seemingly try to cut any connection between Chelsea and Traore before January 2014 claiming that he was on a 3 weeks trial only when it is widely known that he is here since 2010. It's clear as day that it has some shady deal in there. Similarly, Chelsea have Josi Quintero hidden somewhere (?) for some time before he turns 18 which will be soon but until now he's not Chelsea player. Another shady deal.

(Though I checked this now and he apparently signed contract last summer but can't play, dunno why. It's hell of a mess with youth signings )

What? Really? How?

[The Mak 4,459]

If he is coming back, I'm hoping he can push Cuadrado all the way....back to Italy.

Bertrand Traore’s work permit to be able to play in the UK will be successful

Good news for us. IMO Traore probably will do the preseason with us and before the market closes in September he will go on loan to another Premier League team.

Regards.

Maybe Jose isn't buying anyone to actually give youth a chance.
