One player cleaning another's boots at a club is not indicative of their ability. Most youth players coming through the ranks are given tasks like this. I think more than anything it's to ascertain how willing they are to work for their progression within the club. I bet Ronaldo's cleaned the boots of somebody laughably bad along the way. Never indicated this at all.

No, NEVER seen this article at all. No problem with that at all but you and I both know that however you edited your original post you were implying that you got the information from one of your secret football sources or your fountain of football knowledge. I google everything mate, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Caught out, move on.

Whatever mate, it's not a crime to use google, I just enjoy proving that you do. Of course I use "Google" but mainly to provide statistics, NOT to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of players.I do have a lot in my head ! As someone once said to me in a 'Local' in front of my wife "You are a football encyclopedia" as I was rattling off things without any access to any Online services.Not sure whether to take this as a compliment or not !

Ah ok, to be fair my comments were based on a documentary I watched about (I think) the Chelsea youth setup and it was about 15 years ago that I saw it! But I agree, definitely think they should've kept it. Not in a nasty way, but just, as you say, to keep egos in check. I only know because my son's best mate was at Palace since he was 10 but got released last week at 18, he said that it doesn't happen any more.

I said I sometimes 'Google' for statistics, NOT about players strength and weaknesses. Person I spoke to mentioned about Chambers' defensive abilities - Don't want to give too much away so I shall leave it at this.I can only give you my word that I have NEVER seen this article.All this "Caught out" hogwash I view with utter disdain.Lets' move on - this is turning into a WILLO thread and NOT about Chambers !!!!
