ha exactly mate
I think you have to wait till some of those players have actually proven themselves on a bigger stage than your reserves before you can use them as an example of how your academy is doing well. It's incredibly hard to judge at their age how good they'll become. They could easily all have mediocre careers at best and it will have turned out your academy wasn't actually "booming".
In which position does he play?
Hope he's the next ........<< Legend of the position he plays. But what position does he play?!.![]()
Chelsea have reached an agreement with the parents of Nathan Ake, 15, for his transfer to London. Netherlands' most promising of his generation, formed by Feyenoord defender will join the team of Carlo Ancelotti next February, when it has sixteen.
Can't be that bad if they're signing him that early, he's still doing his G.C.S.E's!
Youth academies are about producing playes not winning youth competitions.Chelsea's youth acadamy was massivly re-vamped when Roman bought the club. That is why he bought Arnesen in and Arnesen said you will start to see results in 2010 and how right he was. Our youth team won the FA Cup last season and now our youth is starting to produce decent players.

We have produced players but they have gone on to other sides i.e Carlton Cole.

But you can judge them against our youth players of the past who didnt make it.

I just think you should stop going on about how great your academy is until you actually produce a few players who have an impact on your team or go on to have an impact in the premier league.
We won it in 2006/2007, and what have those players done? Nothing.
snide comments about liverpool dont change the fact that you academy isnt excellent, its better than before, but thats not saying muchLike i said you can judge them against our past youth acadamys.

sidestepping the point. you called your academy excellent. its not.Its early days, we have some youth players in our first team. Also 4 acadamy players started a Champions League game this season for us. That tells me somthing is going right. Just look at Arnesens track record at past clubs and it shall tell you all you need to know.
sidestepping the point. you called your academy excellent. its not.
meh thats not what you said. All it means is that its better than before, which isnt saying too muchIts excellent comparred to what it used to be, the facilities the coaches and training methods etc etc.
