Good to see the Chelsea boys running the show tonight. 2 goals 2 assists between CHO and Barkley so far, certainly deserve to start our next game off the back of it.

Love it Danny. We all know he’s good enough. Great to see him start for England (before chelsea in the premier league by the way. ) progressing brilliantly and been ready all season.

I agree both have impressed but what worry me is where is that in a chelsea shirt yes Callum has not been given enough game time but barkley is not performing like that in a chelsea shirt.

Just a general question, how do clubs look at bringing new players to the first team? When the club wants a player is it a case of they are looking for a player that plays in “position A” with “X Skillset”, so they first look to within at the young players and loaned out players, and then if they have not got the required characteristics already on the books they would then look to sign a player?
And then how do they choose who to sign? Is there some sort of shortlist that is devised with a first, second, third choice etc.?

hi eds
a question on the youth as that is topic of the moment.
which is the most highly thought of youth striker at Chelsea. i know a lot will point to Tammy but i thought that ugbo was regarded as higher hopes of making it but has not really done much from a loan point of view.
thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - The club really don't grade them like that. Certainly when he was very young Ugbo was very well thought og.~

Ed002 saying that youth are to be given a chance next year is absolutely music to my ears. Chelsea fans have been waiting for this for years. The mix of youngsters and buying players is a winning formula and the reason Liverpool are where they are right now.

Like most chelsea fans I think, we could take losing for the next couple of years (obviously not finishing 10th) but on the grasps of 4th if it meant promoting youth. For to many years experienced players have walked into the side over more deserving younger players. De Bruyne, Lukaku, Bertrand, Ake, Chalobah and many more have missed out. Not all of them would have made it but none of them got an adequate chance. Let’s hope Ed002 is right.

For sure. Short term integrating more of the youth players would make CL a difficult proposition. With the other top 6 clubs looking strong we'd probably have to do with Europa for a season or 2.

But in the long run I think it would set us up for a fantastic team.

I'm not sure that Liverpool is a good example - Alexander-Arnold is their only homegrown player and he only got into the team because injuries forced it.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he never mentioned home grown players and Trent was earmarked for a first team role regardless, it is only the position he plays that was decided by injuries. He was actually a midfielder at youth level and would have been in the first team in midfield but injuries made him a right back to cover a gap and he has stayed there, mostly, ever since. However he has played in midfield when there has been cover at right back, so it is not injuries that forced anything.}

Spot on standard.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2019 09:15:26
Ed001, my point is still a valid one - Liverpool is not a good example of bringing through their 'youngsters' as suggested by Standard. In fact, if Liverpool go on to beat Man City this season, they could be accused of buying the title.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - so name one better then? Most clubs, including Chelsea, have a youth team full of players they brought in from other teams. No one produces their own any more. Liverpool have one who properly came through the ranks, so do Man Utd. Chelsea have not even had one since Terry. So you are just picking holes for the sake of it.}

Great to have ed2 here and thanks for the info ed1 has and still will give us as fans regarding the youth team and players building up to the first team I don't think with everyone's opinion we're that far off who is good enough and who is not.
