All you can think, is Chelsea wanted to jump the cue and get their man?
Tribunals also tend to put big sell on clauses in, like 25% or whatever, so may have wanted to take possibility out.

Disagree
I didn’t realise you can even actually bid and buy players on youth contracts
Tomori, Gallagher, Colwill, Zouma, James, Mount, Broja, Gilmour, Solanke, Guehi, Christensen, Lamptey, Rice, Boga, Musiala all get into our team.
Chelsea youth.

I'm not sure, but I cant see why you couldnt. It's still a contract of sorts, that you are paying for someone to exit?
I was being pedantic, I’m aware there are more. There’s also a list 8x the size of that of those that just got stuck there not developing.
Absolutely. They make top elite footballers be it at Chelsea or elsewhere.
Most of ours go lower league.

Most of those players have made it outside of Chelsea by leaving them though.
I mean I really dont think they can take credit for the likes of Rice. The smartest thing he did was leave Chelsea. Had he stayed, he would probably be on loan in Holland now.
We also have a number of youth players. They can only play so many of them.
They have a youth trading system. We don't.
Great business that. CBA with the crying already

Their players are just way better mate. They spend enormously at youth levels, and buy fantastic players.
I don't think there is much evidence they develop them particularly well though.
Look at what we did with a Gordon, quite a limited guy, who we sold for 50m. I dont think that would have happened if he was at Chelsea.
My core point is, they dont really develop young players that well. But I'd imagine they pay hefty wages, so it's a tempting offer.
Yeah you can buy them if you agree a fee, if you can’t agree it then goes to a tribunal , think of the ones we’ve bought like Lewis Gibson. Chelsea can offer him his 3 year pro contract like we would have done.
3rd year running we’ve lost our best 16yr old , ok so small hasn’t kicked on, but I remember all the talk from fans who knew our academy. It’s fine we have a better prospect who’s 14, well he’s gone now.
We will need never see our best academy talent come through all will get picked off.
What annoys me, is why aren’t we doing it? We should be targeting the best 16yr olds from championship clubs

Come on. Most of them play champions league football.
Ours play national or lower English divisions.
Chelsea make elite level footballers and they trade them to elite clubs.
We don't. It's as simple as that.
