Maybe I missed it, but did anyone notice very big prospect Jesse Derry went to Chelsea?

Yep. I assume over money. Unlikely to ever play for ChelseaMaybe I missed it, but did anyone notice very big prospect Jesse Derry went to Chelsea?

Yes we did. No surprise. He's been going out the door since refusing to sign a new contract. He clearly believes that the grass is greener on the other side. Hopefully, for his sake, he'll learn it's not.Maybe I missed it, but did anyone notice very big prospect Jesse Derry went to Chelsea?

He'd have a series of landing lights and a team of outriders clearing the way now. Still, enjoy your loans - he'll probably be at Dunfermline in a few months.Rather ironically it was reported that he left Palace because he could see ‘no clear pathway into the First team’.

It's somewhat clearer as I type. Timing is everything (Ok, do your worst with that last comment).Rather ironically it was reported that he left Palace because he could see ‘no clear pathway into the First team’.

He left because at chelski he can see a clear pathway to a fat bank account !!Rather ironically it was reported that he left Palace because he could see ‘no clear pathway into the First team’.

Yeah was disappointed if that was Sean’s guidance.His old man was on Talksport last week bigging him up and saying it was a move that was right for the boy and couldn't be turned down blah fuckin blah.

They can build us a stand instead.I wonder what sort of deals the big clubs tempt young players with these days. It used to be the club would buy the family a house, or something, to sweeten the pot. Although it's a shame to lose a rising star I think I'm right in saying we'll get a bigger compensation package than if he'd gone abroad, so that's something.

To be fair the fastest way to playing for Palace will be to join Chelsea and in a seasons time get loaned to us where we turn him into a top player and International, then he goes back to Chelsea and be sold to a Italian club for a huge profit? 😆He left because at chelski he can see a clear pathway to a fat bank account !!

When I was in my last year at school a boy in my class was being chased by about a dozen clubs. He eventually signed for Arsenal who bought his parents a new Ford capri (showing my age now) suppose it was worth it as he did make about 200 appearances for them.I wonder what sort of deals the big clubs tempt young players with these days.

Going to Chelsea was misguided but he's also right.Rather ironically it was reported that he left Palace because he could see ‘no clear pathway into the First team’.

I feel like Bostock might have had more chance of getting into our first team (and did) but yeah, he'll rot like Bostock. Shame, he scored some corkers in the youth games.Bostock Pt 2

Bostock is now playing for Solihull Moors - 34 games 0 goals.I feel like Bostock might have had more chance of getting into our first team (and did) but yeah, he'll rot like Bostock. Shame, he scored some corkers in the youth games.
