Will any youngsters make it at Chelsea anymore?

[oman43 45]

Because Chelsea have a lot of young talent coming through which are not able to break into the first XI, are we actually reaping the financial rewards of this talent? Southampton produce good talent and make good money on them. Do we do the same, or do we solely see our academy as searching for that "messi-like" or JT player and if they don't show up, bring in the next lot?

how  many games  do you you think he will start for us ??

 

Not many. But that was not my point. I agreed with Reddish-Blue that fans really do appreciate seeing talented youngsters. I also think fans are more likely to be patient with a home-grown talent than say a bought youth player.

we have lived the  dream too long ..  I actually  saw the best ever Chelsea  boys  ,, Jimmy Greaves  ans an even better prospect  Barry Bridges ,,

 

In those days there  were no Acadamies  as such but boys came through  and played for their clubs and for England.

Maybe the FA could help us out and let clubs have B teams that play professional football in the lower leagues. A mini-Chelsea playing the same type of football so they can slot seamlessly into the first-team.

This. 

 

Germany, Spain and Brazil kinda do this. No wonder they fuckin produce the majority of quality talent. 

 

By having the kids play professional football, they get used to the physical demands of it without having to play a type of game they will never have to play again. This does not make the loan system obsolete, but this way, talents can skip those loans to 2nd or 3rd tier teams which often do more harm then good, cos playing together with players who are actually a lot less talented than you does not really enhance your skills just as much as playing against players with just as little experience. Having a Chelsea II in league one or CC would combine the advantages of experienced opponents and talented teammates. 

 

Of course this would be detrimental to the smaller clubs. Still the FA is very inconsistent, They usually allow the evolution of football but in this very aspect they inhibit an idea that would actually help the competitiveness of English football on club and international level.

If one player from academy makes it, doesnt matter who, be it Chalobah, RLC,...,I will be very happy.

From the ones we bought, Piazon, Hazard junior, Lukaku and Courtois could make it. Maybe Traore, Wallace and Ginkel aswell. Depends on who we buy in summer.

I realy do hope Ruben makes it here.

no chance, we will keep sign 21 years old talent . 

[duo11bluecl 207]

OK lets look realistically at which position a youngster could break through

 

GK: Not a chance. Courtois will replace Cech or Cech will stay no1 for a really long time

RB: Ivan is aging but still solid and defenders usually play until they are really old, Dave is quite young. Very hard for Wallace to break through

CB: Zouma is definitely a starter in the near future, Terry is old but he will probably stay at least 2 more years. Then we got Cahill who are also quite reliable and Luiz too if he is still a Chelsea player by next season

LB: The only chance foe anyone to break through with Cole will probably leave in the summer. But then Bertrands was thought to be his replacement and he is not good enough to be a starter for us, so expect us to sign someone like Shaw instead of promoting PVA...etc

CDM: Matic will stay there FOR A LONG TIME. Ramires maybe a few more years until his legs run out, by then he would be virtually useless and will probably be sold. Lampard probably got 2 year max here, Mikel will ALWAYS BE A SUB. So chance for maybe 1 player to break through if they are REALLY GOOD. I would say Romeu got the best chance really. The likes of Josh...etc will never make it here when they are not even impressive in Championship

CAM: Nothing to say here. Our current 3 will remain so for A REALLY REALLY LONG TIME. Especially with Schurrle and Salah backing up. No one will ever get in

ST: Just never gonna promote one of youth never. Unless they come on and score a last min winner on their debut. We WILL SIGN A TOP CLASS STRIKER like Costa in the summer. Lukaku will probably be sold because he already sort of fuck up his relationship with Jose and don't think he fits our style under Jose.

 

So there you go, virtually not a single chance for any youngster in the future. Maybe a CDM but that will be it.
