Cole Palmer's instant success is a rarity at Chelsea. Chelsea's recruitment has been hit and miss and at times has mirrored what united had been constantly doing which is constantly wasting money.And how on earth would you know? You know nothing about Chelseas recruitment, or how they see Delap fitting into it. In fact you know very little about anything transfer or player development related but you seem to think you have all the answers.
Exception to what rule? The rule that players often improve and reach their potential if they spend time on the pitch?
