They won't overpay like City does though. Can't see them offering more than £40m for KDB. City supposedly offering £50m plus atm.
reckon Bayern might give Wolfsburg a player as well to sweeten the deal.

Edit: what pants said

Who has come through your youth system in recent times?
Lotus-Cheek, Ake, Kalas, Christensen, Baker all close to ready for a step up. We are only just starting to see the real fruits of the efforts Roman put into the youth academy when he arrived.

Still guys like Musonda, Boga, Solanke, Abraham who atm are a bit young but look very promising indeed.

None of whom are first team material yet. So nobody since JT by the look of it.

And Soton fans have five times more reason to be spitting vitriol at anyone but they don't.
I know 4 Soton fans in RL and they are all pretty bitter about things and have the same views on the players they sold. They are angry at the club for selling Jack Cork and hate Luke Shaw, ok at Schneiderlin leaving, lolling at Lolvren and Lollana and pretty pissed at Toby.

You make it sound like it's easy to pick Chelsea standard players when they're barely teenagers. The other big clubs like Arsenal, United and City also struggle with this.

Yeah but how many Southampton fans are on this board? One? The whole world doesn't revolve around this forum, step outside here and you'll find all supporters are more or less the same.

Points taken. I don't have real friends so my only experience is in here.

No. But that's not what was asked.
You could say anyone who has been in your youth system has "come through" it.

Most people would interpret coming through the youth system as players being developed into first team regulars.

How many first team regulars has your academy developed since JT?

Falcao, Valdes and RVP played for United's U21's last year. Does this mean that United can claim them as academy products too :D

Bertie should be still here, but it's been a struggle to guess on the right childhood talent that's going to end up good enough to play for Chelsea.

We seem better at identifying late teen talent like Zouma, Courtois, KBD, Lukaku etc
