Ye man totally agree, England is miles behind Spain,Germany and Netherlands in developing young players.Its like FA really couldn't care less, I have the impression they just want to make as much money as possible and thats all.

The problem is you have Allardyce and Pulis impressionists coaching the kids of this country.

Any potential English Messi will be in Tesco stacking shelves by the time he's 17.

I have to admit, I would criticize the FA but they basically gave Scotland half their national team... Commons, Mackie, Morrison etc. Fucking pathetic shows how bad Scotland is at bringing their own youngsters through as well, but that is mostly because English clubs buy them all like Feruz! Despite him being at Chelsea, since I support Celtic as well as Chelsea, I was disappointed after all Celtic had done for him and his family when he left. He wouldn't be in this country if Celtic hadn't seen him playing football.

There should be a separate league for PL B teams imo, playing roughly the same amount of games as the PL. Pity the FA know fuck all about trying to help develop talent.

AVB suggested that months ago about having the reserve teams playing in a competitive league like they do in Spain but got slated for trying to change the tradition and structure of English football.

David Moyes has tried it and Wenger suggested it too. Its the right way to go !

But those fellas that run English football are too afraid to change things.

But those fellas that run English football are too afraid to change things.

And that's why young players will continue to fall into the gap between reserve team football & first team football. This limits their development and we are left with a whole bunch of 22-25 years old who won't get the chance to represent England and/or play top level football.

What shite timing this loan move was.

Josh would have actually got some playing time under RDM with the fixture conquestion we had and not only that he would have had a FA Cup winners and at worst a CL runners up one aswell.

The timing of this loan move was fucking dreadful. He would have got the winners mentality being part off an FA Cup winning squad and one that got so far in the CL instead he sat on the bench with Swansea and never played in anything over than defeats.

I can't even begin to imagine the frustration he must be feeling right now.

Well he seems pretty happy sucking on his lollipops

I blame AVB.

[RamiCFC9 258]

AVB should be blamed 100%, actually Josh despite his age was one of the few players who can fit in his gameplan and what does the ginger did?Send him off to rot at a relegation shi te team, who don't give a fu k about CHELSEA's talents.

That's too harsh,we all expected Josh to play regularly or at least a few more games and AVB did the right thing by sending him out on loan.He knew Josh wouldn't get much game time and so for his best interest sent him out on loan to a good passing team,a style he had wished to adapt next season at Chelsea.

In my opinion,Brendan Rodgers is the man to blame,not AVB.

[RamiCFC9 258]

Every Chelsea fan was happy about Josh going at Swansea on loan (including me), BUT we are just fans we don't have inside information for most of the things, while AVB has(had), so he should've predicted this bollocks.

[zolayes 14,489]

I think people need to step back and think more calmly. Josh is very young . We were guilty of expecting too much too soon.

He hadnt fully developed physically and progress hasn't been what we hoped for . We had a similar situation with Kakuta. He too suffered

bad loan spells but now seems to be recovering and showing again the promise.Be patient there is still plenty of time for Josh , Gael and Lukaku.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Despite that zola, I do worry about Josh though. What if we've ruined him?
