In relation to Chelsea, their scouting isn't half bad, it's just the young players brought in over their successful Abramovich period, weren't and aren't given the opportunity to show what they could do. Bruma and to a lesser extent Van Ginkel played well for PSV the other night against Atletico, Bertrand's done well for Southampton, Cuadrado, played really well for Juventus against Bayern.
If Conte is the man with the plan, he may have to do what Klopp is doing and bring back the loanees to see whose up for the task of reinjecting some spirit into the Chelsea ranks. Not necessarily a case of buying as many big names as you can, if some of those 30 odd loanees can make the step up, and I'm assuming the support would be happier with the youngsters getting a chance than another mega bucks galacticoesque signing who can't/won't fulfil on their end of the deal.
ps. what the fuck is going on with Pato? Is he ever going to play for Chelsea? Or is it an agent quid pro quo as the meedja keep saying so that Chelsea could send players over to China?
pps. Big game today, Bournemouth are doing well, and we'll have a fight on our hands. Despite what Master P says, think the pressure is on us, as Leicester can afford to draw a few and still hold the top spot, whilst we've got to keep winning to see if we can induce them into an error...
