So there you have it, Jose ALREADY implementing homegrown youth into the first team.... Put it to bed people.

How many minutes will they play?lol

If they have luck,they play one or two cup games against third league opponents and that´s it

I bet he gets around 10 to 15 games

Aha,maybe he comes from the bench in minute 85 or 86 and that will guarantee him to get 10 to 15 matches in this season, but that amount of minutes will not make him better.

I think he can benefit from being around and training with the first team. We'll see how much action he gets but this definitely silences the homegrown brigade who say Chelsea aren't trying to get HG talent into the first team... Its up to Baker to get more appearances now, he's there.

Hopefully he'll start a handful of games and feature in 10+. And if we have an injury crisis he could potentially get more chances.

He is going to train with the firs squad every day so Mourinho can monitor him. If he is talended enough he will make it here.

I wouldn't bother, Jose could win the quadruple with a squad solely of HG academy products and people will still paint him as a youth hating maniac.

Newly named capitan of England U-20's. Bravo.

[HarryCFC 23]

Great player deserves both the England u20 captaincy and a spot in the first team. One the future! Full article on my blog - Link in my bio

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

He deserve all of that after his impressive season last year. Time to prove it that you could do better, Baker.

[Dy-lan 142]

Happy for him, lets hope he makes the most out of training with the first team everyday. Really like his game.

Mikel, Varane, Huth, Sinclair and Ballotelli say hi

Mikel, Varane, Huth, Sinclair and Ballotelli say hi

Out of those only Huth was from the academy of Jose's team.

Mikel was bought for £16m, Varane was bought £10+m too. Sinclair is not the perfect example as he played only several games (most of them as a sub) under Mourinho.

Balotelli had 7 goals after Jose took charge of Inter and he was already instrumental for the team.

We have to admit that finding and developing young talents is not Mourinho's best skill.

Just because they are brought doesn't mean they have to played, how often did AVB play Lukaku again?

Mikel got games as a teenager when he was competing with serial winners, Mou could have easily dumped him in the reserves for a year and fobbed the media off with he's still young and we need all the expierence line.

Sinclair was brought on for his Chelsea debut as a 17 year old in a game we needed to win to stay in the title hunt, he didn't play much after under Mou but his hand was kind off forced due to the small matter of Scott breaking his leg and not recovering until after Jose left.

Then again with Huth, he got 40 games under Jose in two season's despite being up against the 3 best CBs in England if not Europe, again that's pretty good numbers, especially when you consider Huth wasn't that good.

This myth that Jose is some anti youth extremist is built on a mix of an agenda and an embarrassing lack of research, he is no worse than most in this current climate.
