Chelsea have an academy?

Geremi should have cost £20million alone (Champions League winner and all that), but the fact he played for Middlesborough knocked his value down substantially.

Ferreira, well...

Chelsea are a football club and not a souless group of men throwing money at players until they finally get bored?

Boro take all their players out early and use them to be fair...

exactly..

@S4P,

you and Ballack best not be ganging up on BoroCooper otherwise Im gonna have to wade in with windmill punches

IMo even that's too much honour. First I want to see plenty of English youngsters, who started at the academy at an early age. Buying 15-17 year olds is hardly an achievement of our academy. They were good before they signed, that's not homegrown.

I suppose..but some of the foreign players are brought in at 15/16...

No bias but I still think ours is the best and for sure over the last 10 years...

That Timar is getting a bit lairy.

Boothroyd should bring Darius on - that would sort him out.

They've done well but if we can get decent balls to Smith and Bouazza we'll rape them.

United's academy must be great to produce players like Ebanks-Blake

I agree. That's probaly why we can't get the talented English youngsters. Until 10-15 years ago Feyenoord had the same problem as Arsenal, Sparta had one of the best youth academies in Holland. Youngsters were advised to choose Sparta over Feyenoord beforehand. Unless Arsenal don't come up with examples of youngsters joining at an early age and reaching the top, that will not change.

Those 15/16 year old foreign players learned everything outside Arsenal. In general real world beaters are already good at 15. If our academy was good enough, we would have to bring in less players.

Well thats the difference...Foster made a great save from the free-kick and a couple of others...

Has been a half decent game to be fair...

No one's ever done that and lived
