Horribly handled. There were so many players with potential coming through then that we handled terribly by loaning them out to garbage teams that never played them, and ended up wasting season after season. 
The list of players I can name is literally through the roof. THANKFULLY though, we are slightly improving in that aspect with RLC and CHO both getting game time with our first team on a fairly regular basis, so maybe we are changing just a little bit? 
Though of course that all goes out the window is this moronic board decided to just sell CHO to Bayern

We've rejected an offer of 50m AND Malcolm for a 30 year old sh*thouse named Willian.
even if it was a straight swap lf Malcolm and William I'd take it. Willian for 50m cash only id take it.
instead we reject it.. I am truly sick to my stomach, this club is a joke when it comes to transfers and honestly ive had enough

Sell him, recoup some money and use it for Icardi.
Should be able to get Icardi for free if we sell Bats, Morata, Bakayoko, Stinkwater and Zappacosta

24, born and raised in london :)
wasnt around in the 70's so i wouldnt know, but i understand where you're coming from. Its a shame that its all about the money, but I feel because of the carabao cup, it has diminished the value of the FA cup seeing as both are very similar. If there wasn't a carabao cup, the FA would definitely feel a lot more important than it does currently

Even if we don’t have the perfect cover, I’d be very glad to see deadwood players moved on. Zappa DD morata Baka Moses. Time to fill squad gaps with our youth.

Midfield of Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Barkley, RLC, Barella seems a good one to have. With Cesc leaving us, we definitely need another player to put in the Jorginho role who has somewhat dwindled since the beginning of the season, and Barella seems a good fit.

Agreed. After his performance against Forest CHO deserves another chance against Spurs. I'm sure he would the relish the chance to pkay in a big London Derby too

I can, with Fabregas,Drinkwater and Bakayoko going, RLC injury prone and Barkley fairly average we need to buy. People seem to forget how much dead wood we have in our squad.

Disgusting the amount of hate I see towards the board and Pulisic atm. 
Before this season, Pulisic was one of dortmund's best players and played terrificly, he may have slightly dipped in form just this season, but for christs sakes hes only just turned 20... he has a very high ceiling, its just a case of whether he'll hit those lofty expectations. 
Even if he doesn't live upto the hype, the commercial value of him alone is VERY high, especially as football is growing in America and he's definitely going to grow our US fanbase.
and 58m for a 20 year old who's highly touted is actually a bargain in todays stupid market. I mean for the love of god we paid 35m for Drinkwater and 40m for Bakayoko (who tbf is redeeming himself at AC currently) but come on, 58m for a winger who we've been asking to sign for a long long time to replace Willian/Pedro and we're actually complaining? 
Can't wait for him to join us next season and tear up the league with Hazard on the opposite wing! Now if only we address a few more areas and we have a REALLY good squad on our hands

Im sure we can afford that 40m without having to sell CHO for it though..
infact, we can easily make 40m just from selling a few of our players currently who are out on loan like Bakayoko and Baba just to name 2.. Not to mention players currently in our squad like Drinkwater, Cesc, Willian/Pedro (one of them), Moses, Zappa, Piazon... 
We can easily make 40m from selling a few of those

Exactly. Why let one of our prize jewels go when we have several players that seem to be surplus to requirements and could still fetch something in the market. Also don't we really need to start selling some of these players on loan before the new rules come into play next season?

me entering a thread about new signing

Jesus.... What a load of embarrassing nonsense. 

This is a 20 year old who has played 114 times for Dortmund, yet people have decided he is a Commercial purchase, nothing special, overrated before he's even played a single minute for us. Unbelievable. 

I'm assuming Sarri thinks he's not technical enough to play Jorginho's role, not mobile enough to play Kante's role and not creative enough to play on the left hand side. At least in Sarri's system, these three players have to have special features in order for his system to work. A two man midfield requires two well rounded (read: not necessarily specialists) midfield players to work, thus fitting Drinkwater better.
Anyway, I think Sarri is somewhat kind here. The honest truth is probably that Drinkwater never is Chelsea material, and never was. 

Being drawn against Burton would be ideal

Sign Martial and Icardi and we'll be sorted

What about emerson?

Isn't this exactly the piss-poor attitude we have all been moaning about from other teams when they play City?

It doesn't apply to young players.
