Chelsea where X amount of years in front of us in terms of “The Project” we took less than five years to reel them in and go past them in every area (first team) except the CL, we are missing the trophy but in terms of qualification etc are looking a lot healthier (see recent seedlings) Our academy is also making great strides & we are now producing first team talent. Don’t underestimate the pull of living/working in London to a foreign player, it cost us Hazard & probably a couple more, yes they have made some good signings in this window but they’ve had 18 months preparation! Our season is gonna run a little longer than theirs & if we have a few stand up performances in the CL I’m sure that will make potential targets sit up & think...yeah I’d like to be part of that, it’s a lot easier to look into your neighbours garden & think his roses are betting than yours, have patience yours will grow too!
