Ah the Chelsea under 18s, 13/14 squad featuring the likes of.... striker Chike Kandi who has so far managed 20 goals in non league, Mitchell beeney the goalkeeper who was a failure in league 1, Ali Suljic who's never played a game in England, George Brady who managed a massive 3 Papa John's games in his career before presumably getting a job as a cleaner for his aunty Karen, Isak Ssewankambo who failed in England and is now a journeyman in Sweden I think, Habib Makanjuola who never found ANY club to take him as an adult, not even a Sunday league team, Jordan Houghton who has so far made it to the dizzying heights of league one or as I like to call it division three, Mukhtar Ali who ended up in Saudi Arabia, Ruben Sammut who after being released by Dulwich Hamlet in the Scottish second division has got himself a normal job doing sammut instead of footy, Victorian Angban, failed in England so ended up in France, Josimar Quintero 25 and unemployed, Charlie Colkett, league ones finest, Kyle Scott who failed in the Dutch second division and failed in America so is Now unemployed, Josimar Quintero currently on his second long term period without a club, Charlie Wakefield who has played as many professional games as the city of Wakefield. 0. Isaac Christie-Davies, highlights of his career is playing for our under 23s, Jacob Maddox who in fairness has managed a dozen or so games in division three, Ambrose Gnahore who, after unsuccessful spells at places like Farnborough is now playing abroad with a stadium holding the same as our academy pitch, George Cole last seen at heybridge swifts FC, Division three failure Alex Kiwomya and Reece Mitchell who to give him his credit did manage to play for wealdstone, Wingate and Finchley, Farnborough, hendon and Haringey all in one year.
I would disagree to some extent Helen. Some of the defeats would have been far more severe. We were lucky to get away with cricket scores in some games. Blackpool Huddersfield West Brom Off the top of my head.
My take is that either will be fine. Collins is better but Walton is good too. Also the quality of Collins over Walton has zero to do with him coming through Chelsea’s academy. How has this thread got to this many posts?
Simple BBS equation. Whatever he posts × times he posts it = the opposite of that is generally the truth.
