Chelsea can afford to take that sort of gamble, 'cos they also spend
for example £28,000,000 on Didier Drogbas.
Looked at with that perspective, do they care, particularly, if they spend one two-hundred-and-eightyeth of that on a 16 year old kid who doesn't make the grade? No, of course they don't.
If we go around spunking that sort of cash on lower league 16 year-olds, a) the club's "ambition" monitors would slaughter them, and b) if the kid failed to make the grade, would it matter? Damn right it'd matter. That's one thousand six hundred and sixty seven people's fiver-a-month for an entire year down the drain.
