Summer Transfer Window Rumours & Ratings

[FAITH]

dont think he knows how to develop youth unlike wenger

 

[pantskyle]

Your manager doesnt give youth a go unfortunately which doesn't help.

He also wins trophies which is the end goal.

What youth has Wenger "developed"? Arsenal just as likely as anyone to poach an emerging young player.

 

[Thistle]

The better the team the more difficult it should be for youth to break through. Do you really expect 18 year olds to replace some of the best players in the world?

We identify young talent, give them the best opportunity to develop at a level suitable for them with the hope of being good enough to make our first XI. The same as every other club in England.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Which is a crock. If they are good enough they'll play.

tbf, proof is in the pudding. Time for Zouma to be CB permanently. Wonder if Jose has the cajones to drop crispy.

 

[FAITH]

i guess if your at a club for only 2-3yrs whats the point in developing youth right?

True, that or just sell your best youth product(s).

Well he did it to Mata, Cole, Cech etc so I'd say he does have cajones

so no proof in the pudding then. Mata was different, Cole was cooked and Courtois would have left if Cech was still no.1

Fair enough, its enough proof for me.

He also played youth at Inter, Porto and Real.

What youth has he played at Chelsea mate? Didn't play any at Real or Inter unless occasional substitute appearances for Balo count. Not sure about Porto.

 

[The_Flying_Egg]

Barnsley get 16%

U are right, great news Barnsley fans were not happy when it appeared there was no clause. Sell, sell to the highest bidder Everton

Varane at RM?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Varane at RM?

Varane is not a RM youth player. He only got played when Ramos, Carvalho or Pepe were suspended, which admittedly was every 3rd game.

I didn't keep track of the discussion, thought it was just youth and not through the youth system.

How about Jese and Morata?

 

[Thistle]

I thought a managers job was to win trophies?

Jese and Morata were at Castilla while Jose was managing Real. Ancelotti gave them their opportunity.

No one is debating that mate.

Well **** you then.

Fair enough, i just dont see him having a problem at changing the guard at Chelsea as he has been doing it since he's been back imo.

 

[Zidane98]

So what's the go with Stones. I hear Everton are knocking back his transfer request and the 34th bid is at £40m.

Why don't Chelsea ask Everton how much they want and negotiate? Saves it turning into a saga.

 

[pantskyle]

If Everton can get 40m for Stones they should take it and run, it's a stupid amount of money for a young CB.

 

[chef]

Everton still owe Chelsea money for Lukaku too apparently.

probably why they are trying to ream you on any Stones deal

What youth has Wenger "developed"? Arsenal just as likely as anyone to poach an emerging young player.

Wilshere, Coquelin and Gibbs the ones to really break through to the first team recently that have been at Arsenal for long enough to be considered "developed" (Coquelin spent most of his time on loan though). Akpom may join them next season (He's been with us since he was 6).

Szcezney, Bellerin, Bendtner, Gnabry were all part of youth teams from age 16ish onwards.

He certainly gives more chances to youth players than the likes of Mourinho do, whether he actually develops them as players is a different story though.
