Loaned Blues

[Hutcho 8,443]

Agree about Josh, unfortunately. However, I think if he can show the patience that Ryan showed (and get a little lucky) he does have a chance of making it, he certainly has the quality in him. As for Chalobah, I think this loan deal will tell us a lot about him. If a 17 year old can take a starting spot in a championship side then with some improvement and experience he can make it at a top club, imo.

Oh yeah i forgot to say chalobah.... At 17 he has a lot more time than some others, and as you say if he can get at starting spot in a championship side now then that is valuable experience at a young age... I think he could make it, however like all our youth products its a question of whether he wants to be patient and possibly break through, as i can see him potentially being our captain of the future if he makes it or whether he doesn't want to play second fiddle for a while and goes somewhere else. Its not easy for our youth products, time will tell, lets hope... Worst case scenario is some of our quality talent scapes somewhere else and becomes a star for the likes of arsenal etc. Something we definately don't want to happen.

Definitely. The last thing we need is another Borini

Call me a pessimist, but I find that extremely unlikely. From those 24 players, I honestly think only Coutois, Lukaku, Josh, De Bruyne and Chalobah have a real chance of making it here.

I think you may add Tomas Kalas to all this amazing 5 players, he is really one to watch, great CB hope he will given the chance

but imo is all about our manger i mean ryan succeeded only because RDM belive in him and gave him the chance last season AVB didn't and it's not like ryan changed in a min form a avrage player to a great one just one manager belive in him and the other is not and this is a bit sad because those young players career is all in the hand of one man...

hope that RDM will stay and get the security that he's need to feel comfortable to use our great youngsters

Yeah but didn't he have problems getting a work permit? Or am I thinking or Raikovic?

Kalas doesn't need one as he is from the Czech Republic. You're definitely thinking of Rajkovic

Chelsea players on loan have been successful this season, this video is a nice homage to those players

Btw a video of Courtois's best saves of the season would fit nicely with this topic !

[Madmax 9,219]

Chelsea players scored 100 goals in 2013-14. Chelsea players out on loan scored 123.

Most of the loaned players were regular starters at their clubs, as opposed to only 11 chelsea players playing at a time :/

Of course. Just thought it's an interesting stat re stockpiling players.
