gbandit Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Bizarre like given the trajectory we’re on. Not a ringing endorsement for our academy. You’d think youngsters would want to be here at all costs right now but Chelsea’s academy is clearly more successful than ours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 We might have a world leading academy in 5 years. But if you’re coming of age now, what’s it to you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 After the emotional rollercoaster that was the Lewis Gibson saga, I'm not giving a shite  By the time this lad is ready for first team football we'll hopefully be elite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I can see the argument, we don’t have much to show for ourselves in the last two decades. However, we do have some recent lads who’ve made the jump to first team pro level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be on their break as they’ll have a policy for those. Not a bad effort on the mural. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there is higher attainment for Chelsea academy graduates than most other clubs. It may not be the best place to go if you are a superstar at a young age, but if you are a young player trying to maximise your chances of a pro career at the highest possible level, it's probably one of the best places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I've liked the look of Alex Murphy these first two friendlies. Not sure if he's good enough yet to be the 5th centre-back in the first-team squad but could get a good loan to a League 2 or maybe 1 team and get good game time you'd think. Edited July 19, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botman, Schar, New CB, Schar and Lascelles is good until then. I don't think we will get much less for Lascelles in January than we would now but Murphy could get some consistent game time before being 4th/5th CB here.  Thats discounting Krafth but who knows when he will be back and what shape he will be in. I refuse to consider Dummett being given a PL squad place.   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I was thinking it'd maybe be the second half of the season we start sending people out. First-half they'll get a few games in the Papa John's Trophy against first-teams and a fair few will be playing in the Youth Champions League. Might be worth keeping them around until January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 UEFA website says it's under 19s but can't see anything about 'players born after...' so not sure if Murphy is eligible. Could be worth keeping Kuol here though just to have a look at him for ourselves, play him in these two competitions then see where he is so we can get a suitable loan in January. Same with Miley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I’m hoping to see more of him  in the coming games . Honestly didn’t look out of place. Going out on loan would definitely bring him on well. It looks very promising seeing the standard of football they’re playing now so early on. You just know with the likes of him and Miley they’re gonna be more than capable of starting 1st team football in future . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
