When a team has a lot of young players come through and develops them it's 95% of the time clubs who are no where near winning trophies or competing at the top level.
Very little pressure at those clubs, therefore far easier to bring players through as manager's don't fear for their job if it doesn't come off.

Not even West Ham have a top youth set up anymore. Tomkins and Nolan were the last two and they've been around years.
Southampton will never repeat what they have just achieved. Yes they will probably churn out the odd top player. But not all at once like they just have.

What a remarkably ignorant, short sighted and laughably bad comment.
Chelsea bought then-16 year old Izzy Brown off West Bromwich Albion last summer just after he made his first team debut for Albion. The season just gone, I gather he won the Under-21 Premier League and FA Youth Cup with Chelsea, and also the European Under-17 Championship with England, so he looks like he's going places, but will he make the Chelsea first XI year in year out? I hope so - time will tell.
Will Patrick Bamford ever be good enough for the Chelsea first team?
It isn't just up to Bamford though is it? Daniel Sturridge is twenty times the player Patrick Bamford will ever be, yet he wasn't good enough for Mourinho.
Unless Sturridge wanted out of Stamford Bridge, which I don't recall.
Better check who sold Sturridge mate
