The Blues have handed in a mammoth squad list containing 83 names: most youth & academy players.

It shows how much investment Chelsea have made in youth: with their junior list longer than that of any other club.

The first team over-21 squad carries few surprises: except the inclusion of Florent Malouda; and the Scrabble-winning extent of Hilario's full name – it goes off the edge of the page!

Home-growns (8)

Cole, Ashley

Lampard, Frank James

Moses, Victor

Turnbull, Ross

Sturridge, Daniel

Cahill, Gary James

Terry, John George

Bertrand, Ryan

Non home-growns (12):

Cech, Petr

Ivanovic, Branislav

Azpilicueta Tanco, Cesar

Luiz Moreira Marinho, David

Santos Do Nascimento, Ramires

Torres Sanz, Fernando Jose

Mata Garcia, Juan Manuel

Mikel, John Obi

Malouda, Florent Johan

Ferreira, Paulo Renato Rebocho

Marin, Marko

Hilario Meireles Alves Sampaio, Henriques

The U21 list contains names already seen in the first team (Oscar, Eden Hazard), those on-loan (Josh McEachran, Thibaut Courtois), and those playing at junior level for the club.

There are high profile additions (the Musonda brothers), and one or two impressive middle names on display (full credit to Todd Arthur Lucien Kane).

If 10% of those players make it to the highest level I'll be more than happy.

[manpe 10,861]

and max 30% of them will make a first team appearance

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

quite a few ot those are out on loan out of the under 21`s ,so it`s a tad misleading.. lot`s of quality on the books at the club tho. i`m sure more than 10% will make it tho Artinho,more than that already have..

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

and max 30% of them will make a first team appearance

that would be about 27 players by my calculations..i think they have already done that..

[Jase 43,479]

That's just massive!

24.9 ~ 25

[LDN Blue 7,903]

This mean, literally, f*ck all.

[Manuf 1,448]

what about Bruma?

[didierforever 7,349]

shame that not more than 25-27 will get the first team experience.

[Peace. 4,352]

what about Bruma?

Bruma is still at Hamburger. The loan deal was for two years (or one year with an option to make it two, I don't recall).

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

what about Bruma?

Bruma's on the list as well. Van Homoet Bruma, Jeffrey Kevin.
