Chelsea are great at spotting young talent and have an excellent scouting system for young players. Just look at the record of their youth team.
F.A Youth Cup, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018
UEFA Youth League 2015, 2016.
What they aren't great at is giving them a chance in the first team, they'd rather sign expensive and, supposedly, ready made players. Pressure on managers to succeed at all costs plays its part. Even winning trophies doesn't guarantee the manager isn't getting sacked.
For example, both Chalobah (Nathan), who they sold to Watford, and Loftus-Cheek on loan to Palace, would have done a better job than Bakayoko and Drinkwater. £75 million wasted on two transfers.
We lost Lukaku and De Bruyne because Mourinho had no patience with them and, in particular, questioned De Bruyne's attitude. Ridiculous when you look at it now.
The last manager we had who really gave young players a chance was Ranieri, which was the reason Ken Bates hired him. That all changed when Abramovich bought the club.
With strong rumours of Sarri to replace Conte, sadly I don't see it changing any time soon and another load of talented youngsters will end up moving away from the club.
Very frustrating.
