Jose Mourinho's abysmal record in promoting youth players is exposed as he has handed just five starts to Chelsea academy starlets. More fail from Cavbus FC http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ust-five-starts-Chelsea-academy-starlets.html
Shame he's moving to United with all those promising young players that will never get a chance now. Boro might pay you £5 mill for martial though so not all lost.
But this is no surprise. Mourinho publicly said he was closing the Chelsea academy and youth team more than a year ago
Chelsea's academy players are actually very good, too. They've spent a lot of money and done a lot of work on it, but they get quite a bit back from selling people on. It'll be interesting to see if there's more of a focus on bringing youngsters through, if Mourinho moves on. I suspect that they'll continue to use Vitesse as their main testing ground, though. Only five players there this year...
