I see Chelsea had three teenagers score in their Champions league match last night with Ajax, c'mon Davey time to oust Beto and give one or two of our youngsters a chance.

3 teenagers levels above anyone we have, all of whom have first team experience at the top level prior. This is not the same as calling up some random 17 year old from our academy.

Chelsea pay good money for the best teenagers in the World, their academies are bulging, and these lads have played in top divisions across Europe before coming through. Something to aspire to, but as Swan says, age is not the factor here.

GB it has been explained on here already. We don't currently have strikers with the physicality needed to cope with Prem CB's. Just look at Barry, money so far wasted on a twig.

Love it dms, that made me chuckle mate.

Madly, that's the first time that Chelsea haven't had a ln academy graduate named in the match day squad for a few years. These youngsters were all bought in rather than come through their academy system.
It won't happen but I would also like to see one of the youngsters given some game time, even off the bench. Can't be any worse than the two up top right now, they aren't pulling up trees are they? Barry, however, should be given time to settle in. Better, on the other hand, has shown he isn't up to this level and standard of football.

My point exactly bluepotato they cannot be any worse that those two we have.

Really need to do two things before I actually press send.
1) make sure I'm wearing me specs
2) check over what I write to prevent auto correct from screwing me over ??.

Well, yes GB, they couldn’t do much worse that’s true enough.

We will never know unless we try, enough chances for for our regular striker let’s give one or two of the younger lads a go.
