Ancelotti to promote youth players

[DYC. 7,542]

Jack Cork and Michael Mancienne are very much on the fringe, i would love to see Cork play as i think he is a terrific player. As i have said before the problem for Mancienne is that he has been dropped down the pecking order by Bruma and Hutchinson for the centre back role and behind hutchinson for the right back role (which i don't think would suit Mancienne anyway). And as far as playing midfield goes he has drawbacks in that he has not played there very much at all and he would be behind Nemaja Matic and Jack Cork for a midfield spot anyway. Not everyone can make it through the ranks and only the best of the best are going to cut it, Mancienne is a cracking player and i like him very much but there are now other youngsters for his positions who have probably surpassed him now.

I would like to think there is role here for Jack Cork, but there isn't much really being said about him from the club so iam not convinced that it will happen for him....

You're probably right about Mancienne. Too bad..

Yeah it's kinda quiet around Cork, hoping for the best

honestly i havent seen a lot of games for cork but based on what i ve seen i cant agree with what everyone is saying about him that he is the next lamps i think he is not even close because i have watched a couple of games for him with burnley and the guy actually seems to be not running enough he doesnt have the required creativity though he is very good with short passes and 1 touch balls but cant see him turning into that midfielder everyone is talking about ..... i hope he proves me wrong

Woah, see those few fullstops you used at the end? Spread them out a bit throughout your post!

I don't think Cork will make it. Matic should make it though, he seems to have the goods.

I think we really need to bulk kakuta up this pre season in the Chelsea fc jym. We need him to put on 1 stone of pure muscle, defenders are going to rough him up next season while he is pulling off his tricks.

di Santo is kinda screwed by Big Sam. I don't see him shooting much as a striker when he plays.

Kakuta has already considerably bulked up! I don't see a problem with Kakuta getting more games next season, when given the chances this season he was fantastic....

Shame for Di Santo, he is a good striker who could have gone onto progress very well into a top player. The loan to Blackburn though screwed him big time, can't for the life of me understand why the loan was extended in January.

The thing is players in the premiership do not like players like kakuta because of the variety of his attributes. Kakuta can ghost past you with either pace or skill, or he can thread through a pass like in the champions league game he played in. Fact is players are going to try and hurt him next season, i have no doubt about it !

Yes but he needs to be able to deal with that or he won't grow into a World Class footballer, we have 2 options for him now, play him on a semi regular basis or let him go on loan. I think the club feel he may be too good to go on loan and we can get some serious use out of him next season.

I think stoch and kakuta can do lots of damage coming off the bench late in games when defenders have run out of gas chasing after anelka drogba and malouda. Stochs sheer pace and kakuta's vision and pace can really put them under immense pressure !

[Kostas 1,468]

With all due respect King Carlo that was bullocks of the highest order...

And people wonder why Kakuta doesn't sign a new contract

[True_Blue 469]

Stoch raped the Dutch division to get sold.And then people wonder why we don't keep our youngsters,it is because we will never play them and John Terry being the only players for some time now that was a product from our youth system.if Kakuta leaves or McEchran i will totally lose faith in our management that we can keep quality young players and develop them to be future club superstars.

Whilst things looked good at the start of the season with the youngsters being involved things have quickly begun to not look so good. We are struggling to keep hold of Borini and Kakuta (for whatever reason that may be) and we are using a player out of position rather than give the youngsters a chance when needed.

[True_Blue 469]

The club always states that we will invest in the youngsters that they will be given a chance,and i don't call a ''chance'' with playing them when you are trailing 0-2 at home and having a nightmare performance.

Kakuta doesnt deserve a new contract. Hes been poor when he was on the pitch...just an avarage player...another W. Philips;

I doubt he has played over 30 minutes in more than 5 games for this season, not enough time to judge any player, especially a kid. Get real.

Wrong...he started 2 or 3 games in this season, and when came from the bench, added zero impact in the game.

Get me some actual stats and prove me wrong.

No, you should be watching more Chelse's game, or by yourself some glasses. I saw him starting some matches, including in Champions League, and playing really poor.
