Great news about Bamford. Hope he plays enough to impress and takes the vacant spot left by Falcao next season.

Is it cheaper to buy the kids you are talking about in and loan them out than spend the money developing them in an academy? How much does it cost to put a kid through the academy system?With Chelsea apart from their academy players they also buy lots of young players and send them out on loan immediately. They don't invest much into development.
Don't see why not as our 3rd striker. He's shown by his interest in Stones that if a young player is good enough he'll be given a chance.Over Mou`s dead body
No idea about the cost but i meant investment as in time and effort. But Chelsea seem to have so many young players on loan UEFA has got to look into what kind of sham they are running. I wonder if there is some kind of limit to these player farming. Loans obviously don't show up in yearly salary auditing.Is it cheaper to buy the kids you are talking about in and loan them out than spend the money developing them in an academy?

3rd striker? Jeez, that's what every young player dreams of that sort of stuff. Makes it even worse, you usually play with a lone striker don't you?Don't see why not as our 3rd striker. He's shown by his interest in Stones that if a young player is good enough he'll be given a chance.
They were going to do it in Liverpool but someone stole the medical centre

Drogba was our 3rd striker last season and how many games did he get? Plenty of minutes to go around for all 3 of the strikers we'll have at any given time. He's still just a kid. He's not just going to be handed a starting position at a club like Chelsea.3rd striker? Jeez, that's what every young player dreams of that sort of stuff.

I think he does not trust that much in players coming from your(club`s) own ranks. Buying young players for tones of money and giving chance to your own seems different.They say you have really great young players,is it really possible that all of them need to pull "Matic",so they might play for you one day?
Dont take me wrong,every club have their own way of doing things but i believe with your defense you could afford on 2:0,3:1 to give at least last 5,10,15 minutes to those players.
Di Maria and Balotelli are the names everyone will come up with but Luis must have been by far the worst PL signing last summer.
How many games did Costa spend injured/suspended?Drogba was our 3rd striker last season and how many games did he get?

@askomartin: We are talks with Barcelona for Pedro.
Plenty. Which is exactly my point.How many games did Costa spend injured/suspended?
So this is really happening?
I wasn't comparing them, I'm not debating if he was a success or not, merely pointing out that Luis slipped under the radar.Seriously comparing Di Maria to Ballotelli?? What was ADMs assists for the season again?
Personally, I'd loan him back out to a PL team, he needs a full season under his belt to continue his development. If he's successful then the season after, you've got him challenging Costa for his place and 2 reliable strikers.Plenty. Which is exactly my point.
Yea but €100m is a lot of money.They won't sell Muller after the speech they gave when we got Schwein off them.
And they promised the fans that Muller wouldn't be sold. Why bother doing this at all of they would accept a fee for him?Yea but €100m is a lot of money.

yep secondedHow would people feel about a Muller - Di Maria + €40m swap?
As much as I like Di Maria, I'd take that deal
You guys will probably riot on the streets if he was sold.They will not sell him for any sum. If you see the reception he got in China this week everywhere - and there it is somehow like Müller comes to Asia with his team (ok, there is Neuer, too) - Bayern knows exactly what they have.
'I wouldn't sell that mob a virus.'And they promised the fans that Muller wouldn't be sold. Why bother doing this at all of they would accept a fee for him?
He's worth it imo.
That was Fergie and United (to which we didn't sell Ronaldo that year either). You may have a point if you were referencing Rummenigge.'I wouldn't sell that mob a virus.'
Muller could always have his head turned? However he seems like a picture boy for the club after his Dad was a legend
