Winter transfers

[Hansern]

It’s every young players parent’s dream because of all the signing on bonuses and wages that end up in their bank account.

Yes, thats probably one of the key reasons .

Morton plays for Lyon, one of the top teams in France. Not everyone ends up at the top four in the premier league. Very few.

I did name check him specifically as he'd done well. He's an outlier rather than the norm

I do think Chelsea system isn't designed to promote to themselves, but definitely get people in the shop window a hell of a lot more than ours.

Thats why I don't understand it regarding young players. The dream should be to make it at the top club that signs you, not to be sold somewhere after a few years. Much better for long term development.

Anyway, Rayan to Bournemouth seems to be done. 30 mill £ in total. No doubt will be a great signing for them.

Chelsea plays their young players a lot, even if they have no long term future at the club. Chalobah, Guehi, Conor Gallagher, Maatsen, Omari Hutchinson Lewis Hall, Tino Livramento. Olise. Acheampong will eventually be a star somewhere too. They get placed in the shop window, then off to live their dreams.

Ours get exiled on loan to Blackburn or Villa while Slot struggles to remember their names
