If sterling, barkley and stones were from our academy I doubt they would have played for us either. They need to be given a chance. Unfortunately just like chelsea who have loads of talented young players. i think barely any will get a chance.
“just like Chelsea, who have loads of talented players….”
So, that’s two teams who don’t believe in playing youngsters just for the sake of seeing if they eventually end up being good enough. And those two teams currently sit first and second in one of the world’s most difficult leagues.
Youth team players. Not. Good. Enough.
Right ........
Yes we and them are 1st and second. So lets say we put in barker or angelino on in a cup game how would that affect league positions. Or playing barker when 3-0 up with ten minutes to go.
how is any young player meant to make it if they are never going to be played
There’s a reason we won the league cup last season, the league too, got to an FA cup final the year before, won the league before that and got to league cup semi final, won the FA cup before that and league cup semi year before that. And a reason Chelsea will win the league this year as well as league cup.
And it ain’t fucking around with the first team just so we can see if Brandon Barker can cut it. He can’t. If he could, he’d have been given serious match time. Pellegrini, Mancini, Mourhino - none of them, not a single one of them puts the outside chance of a youngster making it before the nuts and bolts of football: winning. And winning trophies. Lots of trophies.
This nonsense that there’s a hidden pool of untapped talent just waiting to be mined - utter delusion. They are not good enough. It really is that simple.
