What's wrong with that? Chelsea don't rate them and/or prefer to buy world-class superstars.
The first part doesn't mean that they SHOULD rate them, but made a mistake. It just means that they weren't highly rated enough and weren't likely to get into the First Team any time soon - which is true.
The second part is just plain true.
They were youngsters and none had release clauses, Chelsea accepted Hamburgs offer for all 3 of them. Arnesens priority is Hamburg now not Chelsea.
Still waiting patiently for the 6th of July when AVB meets the squad, any idea if a video of the day will be released on the Chelsea website etc.
I think in the second half of this month is when we are going to speeden up our transfers although it does get depressing when you look at the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal signing players while we have been relatively quiet so far

Chelsea - Tipped for the Top!
Just a small piece on Nats Chalobah, the brightest CB in our Youth Ranks since JT

man, i want him soooooooo ****** bad.
No pressure on a 16 YO then. Did this one come from Chelsea or West Ham's Academy?
Actually, he came from Barcelona's academy. Wait, wrong player, sorry.
from our very own infact... how many of your players have come from your academy Joss... umm Fabregas from La Masia, Nasri bought, Walcott bought, Arshavin bought, RVP from Holland and the list goes on and on
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------
oh by the way JT was brought from West Ham's academy when he was 14 and we developed him right through to becoming the most successful captain in our history and the England Captain
from our very own infact... how many of your players have come from your academy Joss... umm Fabregas from La Masia, Nasri bought, Walcott bought, Arshavin bought, RVP from Holland and the list goes on and on
Fabregas from El Mataro actually
Gibbs, Wilshere, Ashley Cole.
Not sure why you've mentioned Arshavin and Nasri.. They never went near our Academy.
Also just interested because you said "the best CB to come out of our academy since Terry" when Terry didn't come through your academy.

Terry joined Chelsea when he was 14 and we developed him to becoming the most successful captain in our history and the England Captain which means that he more or less came through our academy as you rarely find players who join a team's academy when they are 8-10 and make it to their first-team

Quick google said Gibbs was signed when he was 15, same like Terry
which means he didnt come through the whole of your academy then
LOL. Says you who tried to troll Arsenal fans on your own thread... Clearly obsessed with us, our financial model and our players - Ashley Cole, now Theo Walcott, Petit.
And Wilshere joined us from the age of 8. Plenty of players join academies from that age.

Good spot. Didn't know that.
as I said, you rarely get players who join a club academy when they are 9-10 years old and make it all the way to the Club first-team...
and yet here you are doing the same.
enough of this
---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------
not disputing that, still means he didnt go all the way through your academy, no shame in that. Still a developed a world class defender from a young age
Terry was 14
And not plenty of players join from that age and actually make it all the way through you know, look at any top clubs first team and count out how many players joined that clubs academy when they were 9-10 barring Barcelona's
If you can find more than 3-4 max you deserve a medal, even your team is mostly made up of players you bought for when they were 16/17 from abroad
---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
yea I agree, even the likes of Beckham were brought to Man Utd's Youth Academy when a scout spotted his talent, I think its fair to say that when a player joins your academy when he is 14/15 on a schoolboy contract, he more or less came through your academy
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
and lastly our very own Josh M. joined our academy when he was 8 and if we give him enough chances, he has every chance of making it as a full England International in the next 2-3 years
i would like to point out that you actually tried so sell john terry when he was young. He only stayed because he didn't want to leave so don't you pretend Chelsea new how good he would turn out to be.
