On the basis that this mob seem to have the idea that every child born in Brazil 16 years ago is now a generational footballing talent ready to take over the world, i wonder whether Clearlake and Boehly can actually get ahead of the curve and steal a march on the rest of the football community.

Perhaps, rather then purchasing football clubs as part of a multi club model, they could open a string of South American sperm banks and we could then harvest our own burgeoning galactico talents in a few years.

Perhaps a franchise of clinics called "Ele Atira, Ele Marca"

Jokes aside, they are doing a good job expanding the brand in South America. 

Fluminense president just had nothing but good words about Clearlake/Chelsea and hope to do business in the future.

Apparently Clearlake already hire undercover Only fan girls across Europe to infiltrate elite footballers to gather sperm to create genetically superior wonder babies.  Operation crusty sock I think they called it.  No reason they can’t deploy it in South America.

To be fair I think Icecoolguy22 has a point. City Group have 12 clubs spread around globally with I think 2-3 in South America, and 4 clubs in Europe. Take Savio for example who is owned by City Affiliate Troyes, loaned out another City affiliate Girona, and bound for City in the summer. 
We need an affiliate club in a more technical league like the Spanish, Portuguese or German league to speed up player development.

I feel our owners have been quite slow in this respect; there were talks of them acquiring a Portuguese club a year ago but that stopped once they didn’t sign Joao Felix permanently. Liverpool and Utd are going down the affiliate club route also so we need to speed things up a bit as both clubs are a bigger name globally and would find it easier to do business with other smaller teams.

They've only owned Chelsea for 2 years, spending about £4bn in the process, City have had the same owners since 2008 and the city group wasn't started until 2013. I know it isn't what football fans want to hear but we need to stop expecting new owners to finish their plans within a couple of years, it just isn't realistic.

For what it's worth, I think this group ownership of clubs is immoral, against the spirit of the game and should be banned. But that's just my opinion.

Ownership by small rich groups certainly. [SIZE=12pt]The German rule of 50+1 is the best concept of football club ownership imho. [/SIZE]

i said in concept. The German way needs work and improvement for sure, but it is still better than the vulture capitalism of the Premier League. All the top English clubs are now owned by some very dodgy investors.

 
Olise would improve our chances of becoming a top 4 team right now.

Put the money down for him instead of a player who could come good in 2-4 years time. 

Even if this Estevao turns out to be good Olise will be at that level anyway.

I get the sense they want both, especially as we need to stockpile right wingers.  It must be the new left back!

 
Wingers and attacking mids for the 2025-26 season ---- South American embryo's will be joining Chelsea. Estevão Willian arrives April 2025. Kendry Paez arrives in the summer of 2025. 

For next season we shall be sticking with Sterling. Sterling, Madueke, Misha Mudryck, Ice Cold Plamer*, Carney Chukwuemeka.

do we bring back loaneez?


Diego Moreira / Wing / June 2028
Yeah, no one knows who this kid is or that he is even associated with our club. Only 7 appearances while at Lyon it was clearly a step too high and we recalled him. Let’s send him back on loan to Benfica.

Angelo / Wing / June 2029
Who? He’s on loan to Strasbourg, of course. 24 appearances and nothing to show for it. Back on loan you go.

Omari Hutchinson? He has had a good season with the brilliant Ipswich.

I think all those players stay on loan. Hutchison has a great opportunity to be blooded in the premier league every week next season so lets grasp it rather than upset the player and sit him on our bench all season.

Imagine the Thiago Silva that went to Milan was being tracked by us right now.

Funny we did try and sign him back in 2008  and at least on here, most of us were excited but didn't see how he would fit with Terry, Carvalho, Alex, Ivanovic, Mancienne and Bruma all vying for spots.

With Scolari's team in free fall though I think we wanted all the help we could get.

This is exciting. Don’t know a whole lot about him but the objective of buying the best young talent is great (hopefully not always at the expense of the academy). 

We need a better multi club model to really get this going. But the thought of Paez and maybe what Estevio can bring is fun. 

 
Is he any good? You tube videos don’t tell much or are that exciting to be honest.. looks a lot like Madueke.. any good links that show his complete skillset.

even in you tubes Kendry looks miles ahead.
