Who fitted the blinkers on you Pooch?

If I were a Man City fan I'd be horrified that Jadon Sancho rips apart an international tournament and at 17 when offered his first proper contract by City he opts to go to Bayern. If I were a Chelsea fan I'd be bemused that they've had one of the country's best youth set-ups for years and have brought through zero players. Solanke went to Liverpool, Lukaku had to go to Everton for a game, Chalobah goes to Watford and immediately makes the England squad. They worry about replacing Matic, but have loaned out Loftus-Cheek who could. Tammy Abrahams scored 926 goals last season in the worst Bristol City side for years, does that get him a first team run as Costa won't play, no, off he goes to Swansea and Chelsea have even got the stupidity to bid for Llorente.

Lukaku was in Anderlecht's team at 16. He came to England and pissed his talent away till he got to Everton. That's what the fear inherent in English football does.

And WE, at little Chesterfield, who have the opportunity as a  small-scale operation to do something better and wiser, are stupid enough to REPLICATE it! And worse still you Pooch, who I like as the owner of a functioning brain and as a true, good-hearted fan, you give it the nodding-dog treatment! UNBELIEVABLE, UNWORTHY OF YOU! I don't know if Ricky's good enough, but I know no one ever proved it sitting on the bench at the Impact Arena!

Ajax reached the semis of the Europa League with eight homegrown players under 23 in their eleven.
On Saturday our contribution to player development was just Maguire still welded to the bench In Div 2!

In a few short months a frightened little man who looks like Ken (of Barbie), has looked at all the cards we held for the future, even added to them and now he's carelessly discarding them! Wait till Joe Rowley's on the bench at Telford and it'll be too late to voice your concern. It shouldn't just be me chelping on about this, next home game the crowd should be singing the names of all the players who could be there and aren't. I'm not always right, in fact I'm not often right, but this time I'm on the money.

I saw your joke on Bob's Board. I don't think they understand or appreciate your humour.
