    Bruce tempted fate yesterday by making uncalled remarks.

    So it is 1980 Moscow Olympics all over again??

    Seriously, USA needs to get their act together to get somewhere in Soccer!

    tbh Russians won't be happy. US has a bigger contingent of travelling fans.

    Maybe you can call him a legend when he has played over 500 games for you and actually won something. <ok>

    3 Chelsea Youth Academy products called up for England (Cork, RLC and Abraham).
    Collectively they have played 24 games for the Chelsea first team <doh>
    What a ****ing shambles our youth set up is.

    I'd never even heard of the **** until it was on BBC news that he was our longest serving player,
    I was like "Who the **** is Delac?!" and had to google him

    Delac is 25 FFS.
    If, by 25, a player isn't good enough for your first team, he never will be.
    Why keep him and continue loaning him to all and sundry?
    We have loaned him out to 9 different clubs in 8 seasons.
    0 Apps for Chelsea.
    Sell him FFS!!

    His value has probably gone up by more than his wages though. I don’t agree with it particularly with English players but I get it. Overall it is working financially if not morally.

    But how much is his value really going to go up by though?
    A 25 year old keeper no one has ever heard of?
    Its not like he is Petr Cech in the making is it?
    He is a mediocre shot stopper who gets loaned out to play for midtable Serbian teams.....

    I think that your youth set up is actually very good. It's the transition from youth to first team that's the problem.
    Lots of moaning this season about not having a deep enough squad, despite having 34 players out on loan. Ridiculous.

    Legend? Strange word to use for him. Good player though.

    Maguire was one of the better players in a **** Hull team and is now **** for Leicester. How does he get in ahead of the Burnley defenders?
