We are well aware we DONT nurture our younger players properly, ( great shame).
But what of the excellent players we have in the squad today that are not the finnished article.who would benefit from serious guidance in there progression.?
Bertrand,Cahill,Luiz,Romeau,De bryune,Marin,Sturridge,Lukaku, Piazon.
Just to name a few.
If these players fail , surly it will be our own failure to bring these superb player on to another level.
Do we have the ability to bring these players on ?

If they are good enough they will succeed at Chelsea.
Might sound harsh but that´s the law of the jungle.
Remember how angry we all were when Stoch left ?
Time has shown that he was never Chelsea standard and he´s since fallen off the radar.

i dont know about that, Luiz is a prime example , sturridge the same.
Both have the ability to be nailed on starters but both are erratic , they need guidance ?

The stakes are so high now that youth progression isn't worth it to top teams if it means dropped points and cup knockouts. I mean, Fergie probably wont be playing two kids at CB again anytime soon.
There's the odd rarity that gets through granted but the conversion rate from academy to first team at the top is awful.

AND, ? are you of the opinion he has nothing to learn ?
or wouldnt benefit from quality development ?

Cahill should be excluded
