Chelsea is a graveyard for young English players. Apart from Johnson, look what they did to Scott Parker, Wayne Bridge and Shaun Wright-Phillips. All their careers suffered a setback after signing for Chelsea.

Add Sidwell to that list too. Chelsea is an woeful club.

Yeah they destroyed Lampard & J Cole & A Cole and Terry has done himself no favours staying there. 😉

Bridge went for the money and little else. Parker & Sidwell were never good enough.

So, any news on this front? This thread needs death but we never seem to resolve a transfer saga quickly, do we? I blame a lack of funding for inner-city community centres.

I blame Parry.

Portly's got a point to some degree. Bridge went for first-team football as much as the money. Parker and Sidwell were good enough to be at least bench options at most clubs but never got a look-in.

Who'd have thought the longest thread of the summer would have been started by Rashid?

I was a big fan of Scott Parker when he was at his peak with Charlton. 90 minute player who never pulled out of a tackle and was also very creative. I would have loved us to buy him at that time, but since his sojourn at Chelsea he doesn't seem to have recaptured his old form.
