It used to be so straightforward. Those of us who had an invested interest in the graduates of Cobham knew the deal. You'd watch as a promising group of young talents dominated both domestic and international youth football, the best of which would be "promoted" to the first team.

Can Marc Guehi Break Into The Senior Team Next Season?
With the imminent departure of Fikayo Tomori from Chelsea, the lack of young defenders from the academy ready for first team football is sparse.

The U23s must be treated better soon or we will regret it
I was fuming. Absolutely fuming and I’ve only just started to calm down. I found out quite early that there would be no chances for any Chelsea debuts against Morecambe on the weekend, and that really was disappointing. This pretty much is going to be a rant as to why including none of Lewis Bate,... Continue Reading →

Gilmour and Anjorin can offer us a lot in the next few months…
