Chelsea currently have 85 players out on loan.13

If Mourinho doesn't think the likes of Schurrle, de Bruyne and Salah are good enough for his Chelsea side, then you really can't see much hope for the likes of Palmer.
Similar situation at Man City. If a club can spend 25-30m on a player then they're not likely to be giving much game time to a kid.
Unless a kid bursts through at 17-18 who is genuinely brilliant at that age, like Rooney was, then they're not getting in the team.2 -
Tend to agree though there is the odd exception like Harry Kane who didn't make his Premier League debut until last April when he was three months short of his 21st - and less than a year later is being talked in terms of playing for England.Chris_from_Sidcup said:If Mourinho doesn't think the likes of Schurrle, de Bruyne and Salah are good enough for his Chelsea side, then you really can't see much hope for the likes of Palmer.

This is the thing... One of the Directors where I work is a passionate Chelsea fan and asked him the other day about Kasey Palmer, reckons he's a good lad and is doing well for their U21s at the moment, I turned round and said that he should have stayed with Charlton as he'd be in our first team now and got... "Well the Chelsea Academy is the best place to learn as they've state of the art facilities and is one of the best academies around".Chris_from_Sidcup said:If Mourinho doesn't think the likes of Schurrle, de Bruyne and Salah are good enough for his Chelsea side, then you really can't see much hope for the likes of Palmer.

I didnt bother to reply as knew it would be pointless but whats the point of all these magnificent buildings... All Chelsea are doing is making these young players soft, i.e. the Chelsea goalkeeper made a mistake to give Spurs their first goal the other night but can he seriously think that he's going to dislodge someone like Courtois?0 -
Kane would never have broken through at Chelsea IMO.Addick Addict said:

Only time will tell of he made the right decision, but ultimately, we'll never know. At Chelsea I'm sure he'll say that he is learning from the very best in the world and that he has developed immensely as a footballer technically and mentally. He could well be playing first-team football now, but maybe that is overrated at his young age and (just playing devil's advocate) it could well be good for him to develop his talent away from the rigours and spotlight of first-team football so soon? If he is playing with the likes of Loftus Cheek etc., he may well be playing with and learning from technically superior albeit, less experienced footballers than he would have at Charlton? I'm sure that improving your ability and being the best you can possibly be will be an aspiration of most footballers along with (perhaps later on) first-team football, winning trophies etc. Just a thought.1

At least when he leaves Chelsea and joins another club, he will have trained with the best0

Not bad7 -
Ok I guess.1

Would've definitely be in and around the first team here by now in my opinion. Shame.8

If there wasn't so much bad blood over his departure we'd be the obvious club to loan him to next season. We might even get him back permanently if Chelsea turn Gomez's head.1

The last English Player to come through the youth teams and play regular for the 1st team at Chelsea was John Terry !kentaddick said:Would've definitely be in and around the first team here by now in my opinion. Shame.
So they seem to have a fantastic U18 and U21 team but they won't be playing for the 1st team anytime soon.
The Chelsea Triangle 16 years old and counting.

Perhaps most of the U18 and U21 aren't English anyway.
Saw a bit of the Youth Cup Final first leg against Man City and not many English names being mentioned on either side.

Wait for the new training ground and we'll have a pucker "document signing room"
Anyway - ours was miles better than Jordan Rhodes's dark alley at Boro2 -
It will be a very long long journey Kasey1

"long journey" & "hard work don't stop" Kasey?guinnessaddick said:
Yep, by the time you stop your hard work and finish your long journey you would have probably played about zero times for the Chelsea first team and then realised what you have wasted.

Is an interesting one this. Has been told he won't go out on loan despite requesting to do so. In order to appease him they doubled his wages.2

But he'll be a few million richer than you and I

That won't matter squat if he looks back at the end of his life with regrets about his choices. Money isn't everything despite what too many people seem to think these days. (Not a dig at you Large)LargeAddick said:cafc999 said:
