Are we worried about the lack of noise in the press about players coming to Chelsea?
All I have read so far this summer is about players leaving the bridge and very little about players joining us.
Even Florent Malouda has asked the question about Joe Cole leaving, a player I am gutted to see go, he was then quick to speak about the youth that are coming through and how this is a good thing for the club. I personally agree with him that youth is the way we must go.
I would rather see Chelsea not win a trophy for the next couple of seasons than spend stupid, unsustainable sums of money on more established players while we sell off or release our young players without giving them a chance.
Stoch is a player that I am also very sad to see go, yes he played a few games for the first team and didn't light the place up instantly but after the season he's has had at FC Twente and then the great displays in the World Cup we have surely let a player with massive potential go for probably a small fee (undisclosed is how it's being described).
I do think that the current first team squad needs a couple of new additions, a striker and a more creative player in the midfield, but I also think that these players can come out of the youth ranks, Kakuta for instance looks like a great prospect.
Or do we need to sign a Schweinsteiger and a Dzeko or even a Milner instead of promoting from the youth ranks.
I am, as we all are, aware that some of the youth team have been promoted into the first team but if we go out and buy these big name players then the game time will surely be limited to the odd cameo and cup chance rather than that of a serious first teamer.
I want to know what other fans think of the situation, while the noises from the club are that we are looking to youth is what other fans want or do you still feel that big transfers are the way forward.
