Jack is a good mate of mine, met him through a uni mate a few years ago when it was his breakthrough season when Villa got to the FA Cup final. He got a lot of stick that year for his lifestyle but people forget he's a young boy. He's progressed a lot in his time in the championship, seems to have matured a fair bit on the pitch and can tell you he has off it. I asked him to introduce me to JT last year but never got round to it : (.

Having young players at your club shouldn't blind your eyes to the fact that there are some other young players elsewhere that's is better than yours.

No of course not Obinna but Mount is a fantastic talent and Grealish is no better than him or Barkley for that matter imo weâ€™ve so many good youngsters like Haighton87 said thereâ€™s no better time than in this transition period to blood them again imo everyone has there own views of course which are all respected ðŸ‘ðŸ».

In response to Obinna123, "apparently" we opted against buying Deli Alli because we have RLC.

One has done fantastically well with the club who bought him and now a regular in the national side. The other is only now getting recognition because of a semi successful loan move and is now in the squad for the national side and let's be real here, he also could potentially seek a move away from a club he's been at since the age of 8. Nate Chalobah did the same.

Chelsea have more important issues to be worrying about a player like Grealish.

i think youth wise, unless there is a special talent out there are more than covered.

In response to Haighton87; I am sure Chelsea will incorporate Loftus Cheek into the squad next season or after next season (just like Chelsea did with A. Christensen, Courtois) cos he's doing well to get into the team.

And since Chelsea opted against buying Dele Alli for Loftus Cheek, the club has won 2 Epl titles and one FA cup with Loftus well developed from his loan away from the club WHILE Tottenham has won nothing since then.
Guy, don't try to be more righteous than the Pope; Chelsea will make the best decision for the club and it's young players to ensure that they develop into the team and we keep winning trophies. The decision to loan Loftus Cheek was the right one and I trust the next decision that they will make regarding Loftus Cheek.

obinna123, first off change your tone, this is a forum for fans to discuss opinions. i am not here to argue or tell people they are wrong.

You have also missed the point I was making in regards to Alli and RLC.

Chelsea have bags of talent in their youth but choose to loan them out. RLC was in the squad but barely featured in our team. Spurs bought Alli and he was instantly given a chance and run of games and now look at the level he is at.

There is also the task of keeping the player happy, if RLC has a good world cup yet Chelsea go ahead and buy another midfielder for Â£Â£Â£Â£Â£- what message does that give not just to him but the others coming up. its all good developing them but if the club won't take the plunge and integrate them, they will leave. Solanke was happy to let his contract run down to do so.

I am not comparing our trophy haul to spurs because its not even worth discussing, my subject is about the youth and bringing SOME not all, into the squad. that is all.

but what do i know.

Sorry if my tone is harsh, it's not my intention. I get your point now.
