Unless Boro come up, he just needs 1 full season of championship football

I've rated Bertrand for years ever since I seen him play for u17's. He's the best crosser at Chelsea aswell.

Its still :pachaha: & :scusthov: That no players are actually being developed thru the club themselves, its all buy and loan him out for 3 years, wait til lthe last year of contract and see what we got

The reserve league was a joke tbf. Just not enough competitive football at youth/reserve level to properly evaluate younger players. If you aren't playing for points that matter between the ages of 18-21/22 your development is obviously going to stagnate.

I watched some of the Chelsea vs City u21s the other night and the level of footy was way better than what I saw at reserve level tbf.

Bertrand was arguably our motm against Wigan. I bet he's going to play in a lot of the bigger games this season if/when the midgets prove they can't contribute defensively. If AVB had his way he wouldn't even be here and we'd have Perreira instead :scusthov:

Speaking of youth footy I was listening to an interview with one of the Chels youth coaches yesterday and he was talking about him doing his current coaching course with Desailly and Jens Lehmann. :pachaha:

I think they're going for the A-license now, irrc you're allowed to be a manager if you have the B-License and are going for the final course. Not sure how it works at international level though.

You know Stoke scored 36 goals last season right?
I would love to see Stoke vs. Barce/Real Madrid but won't happen if they keep playing like they have under Pulis.
