Oh dont get me wrong the titles are ****ing fantastic and ill never regret them but we have the best Youth academy in the league and its high time some of these kids got a chance and if that means a few years without titles to build a team for 10 years then Im ok with that.Originally Posted by plague
Your academy isn't built to produce players for Chelsea's 1st team. The entire ethos behind Chelsea for the last 10 years has been to scout talented youth players, give them better money than other academies, give them 3-5 years to improve, loan them out to subsidise those wages and then sell them for a profit bases on potential rather than impact. It's brilliant from a money making sense and it's working a treat.
It's also crept into your first team, as soon as a young players value begins to depreciate you put them up for sale. KDB, Salah, Cuadrado all had slumps after a year and as soon as someone offered more money than what they cost your board had no problems selling.
Buy Low, Sell high. Drop anything that starts to drop in price. Wall Street logic.
But, in regards to Arsenal... We are gonna walk the league next year. You heard it here first. Arsenal to go unbeaten and Tottenham, Chelsea and West ham to get relegated.
Wenger who! I haven't even sobbed into my stuffed gunnersaurus for like days probably...
Chances of convincing Giroud to come out of retirement?

Giroud?? That Chelsea legend?
Nice to know you apparently know more about my club then I do. Roman wants to inbed the youth but wants trophies at the same time.
I don't want to start a pissing contest with you, so firstly I don't claim to know more about any club than anyone else.
But, loving a club doesn't mean you know more or less about it than anyone else. Those two things are mutually exclusive.
I can't claim to know more about Arsenal than you or anyone specifically because i'm a fan. I only claim to know more than others because I am in fact the most interesting man in the world. (insert meme here)
Hehehehe.

Youve been there and back again?
The transfer window madness is definitely in full swing. Emery is supposedly in for Balotelli on a free.
The world has gone BONKERS!
Balotelli is always the back-up to missing Sanchez.
Enjoy the show. Mind you, it's fun when it's not your team

Balotelli did not do too bad at Nice....maybe he has settled down from his childish prianks
Lichtsteiner to Arsenal... now I kinda would have liked this a few years earlier he is 34. But he is quality and can link up well with Xhaka...

Makes sense.
I've read that Emery is saving pennies where possible so he can give Ramsey a new contract and build a team around him.
Sokratis is pretty much done as well. 15 million Euro is a decent deal for a 29 yr old CB who played almost all games for Dortmund last year.

Give me Caglar Soyuncu and Jean Michel Seri and i'll be over the moon.
If we sell Ospina we should be able to find a replacement without too much fuss as well.
Heard Fellani is on as well
dont want to bite... but hell no. that bloke is seriously stealing a living.

Emery is a fan
Turns out the journalist who reported it misunderstood something that Emery had said.
We want another tall defensive midfielder if available. (ala Steven N'Zonzi / Adrien Rabiot )
He also wants to explore the free agent market for experienced players. ( ala Lichteiner)
Somone put those two points together and made the Fellaini links. Nothing concrete in it.
