Do you think we would be any worse off point wise if Bamford / solanke played the minutes that drogba has played this season or RLC/ Ake played the minutes mikel did or brown played cuedrado/ salah minutes, basically I still think we would be winning the league but gaining experience with youngsters, I really hope we win the league soon and field a few of the youngsters who have been the best youth team in Europe. This current crop are the best youth I've ever seen us have I'm hoping at least 5 of them break through I'm not talking about world class starting 11 but at least squad players to save us spending on average subs .

I think it's a touch unfair to say that. On the whole we've been very lucky with injuries and generally the squad is more about what if situations that we've by and large not had to deal with. You could also make the argument would those guys have progressed to the same extent playing very little minutes as jose would want to protect them.

I think you'll see Bamford on a EPL loan next year but RLC, Brown, Solanke and Ake should see some time with the first team. Baker is the one who interests me, has been oh so impressive on loan at MK Dons during the second half of the season; as he was, consistently, in our youth set up. I still think his future is bright but it'll be interesting to see what the club do with him. another loan?

Any truth in this bale for hazard ed? Do you see hazard leaving during the summer

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about.}

Better question is would you swap Hazard for Bale+Varane?

28 Apr 2015 20:53:43
How is that a better question? My word chn, my word.

{Ed018's Note - are you claiming anitbot is chn?}

The plot thickens!

We musnt sell hazard unless he wants to leave. If he did then yes I'd take Bale and Varane. I don't think he'll leave Hazard seems a very loyal player.

Haha Ed018, guess I've been on this site for a long time and ever so often that I pretty much know every poster by their posts even if they change their names. Just by reading a sentence I could tell who the poster is (especially the regulars).

So yeah I'm pretty sure chn is antibot. This summer would be my 7 and a half year anniversary. Brilliant site really. :)

{Ed018's Note - I'd guess I've been an editor about that long. And yea there's only ever been one poster who has ever suggested selling or swapping Hazard and that was chn. Time to fess up anitbot, is it really chn?}

Bale and Isco
