Sturridge

This defence of your youth policy is gallant but without foundation.

The reality is that Chelsea just don't bring youngsters through. Most fans just admit it. You seem to think you can defend it!

Maybe the Chelsea youth coaches aren't good enough.

Ryan Bertrand - another player you ruined

In fairness we gave Bertrand enough chances, even played him in the bleeding Champions League final. Just isn't quite good enough unfortunately.

You only have yourselves to blame for that if you brought him through.

i think we should just give ip on this pundit now he is clearly on the wum.

If he actually thinks we ruined Bertrand then i don't know what to say.

I' d appreciate it if you could expand on how we have ruined these players. Does not playing them mean we ruined them? Does loaning them out,like Mancienne,to lower league clubs mean we ruined them?
Just what exactly did we do to ruin them?

We sold Sturridge to keep this guy:

happy.

Why, oh why?

Pundit talks so much nonsense. The youth problem at Chelsea is a fair premise, but all the arguments against are ballacks.

At least if you're going to criticise use valid points. Not Mancienne and Bertrand and think Chelsea ruined their careers - they're average players.

Chelsea have a really promising group of young player now. Let's see whether they're good enough for the top level or not. If they do then fair play. If not then tough shît.

I'm all for encouraging young players into the team. But it cannot always be done. And at this level it's harder. When Wolves start bringing through world class players regularly then criticise the youth systems at the top level - and that won't happen, by the way.

I don't know what more the lad has to do. He scores loads more than Chelsea's strikers in a lesser team.
He even plays like Drogba. I'm baffled.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He absolutely does not play like Drogba or he'd be here. Benteke plays more like Drogba, as does Costa. Lukaku is the type of striker that loves his space to run into or to run on to, to finish.

Bony plays like Drogba...this is who we should be looking at...

I was very vocal I with my praises for Bony last season, and thought we should get him especially as he would have been a small £10-12mill risk. I thought he was quality, and had the attributes to fit into the PL. His record in Holland was also spectacular. I think his value has gone up to around £20mill now. We missed out.
