You can argue the top 5-6 players in the world all play for Barca and Real. After that the next best players are spread fairly evenly around the other leagues.

Eden Hazard statistically among the worst PFA Player of the Year winners in the last 20 years
Chelsea's u18's are playing the second leg in the FA Youth Cup final today, at home with a 1-3 win over City in the first leg, so it will be interesting if Dom plays today or if they maybe hold him for Wednesday's senior team game at Leicester City. He is the leading scorer for that team in the FA Youth Cup, the leading scorer for the CFC U21 in the Youth league and lead all scorers in the UEFA Youth league this year, which Chelsea won. Good candidate for a championship loan next season.:bummer:Good news is we're going to clinch at home.CletiusMaximus said:

FYP. Muller and Neuer certainly have a claim to the spots behind Messi and Ronaldo right now.
Its live on Chelsea TV. You need a subscription, but there are often free trial deals available. The game kicks off in about 4 hours. Let me know if you watch. Its been an exciting run to the finals, including a crazy comeback against Spurs in the semi's. This is Chelsea's 4th straight year playing in the FA youth cup final, and will be 4th title in the past 6 years if they hold serve at home today.Is the match on anywhere?

Pretty certain that Mourinho has already rejected the idea of loaning out Solanke next season. I too would like to see him make the bench over the next few matches.

What fine talents are in this squad that we can expect Chelsea to loan out over the next few years?

I think its true that very few current U18s will ever play for the Chelsea senior team, which is the case with all top clubs, and certainly none of them any time soon. I expect several of these players to be good loan candidates next season. Do the names really matter to anyone but Chelsea fans? One aspect of this team I like, even though I don't care about the English national team, is they typically start 10 or 11 English nationals. That bodes well for the future because English players are usually more valuable to English clubs, making future loans and player sales more attractive. Loans in the Championship are usually seen as more attractive than going abroad.
Am I mistaken or is the FA/EPL adding in new roster rules to make sure that a certain amount of the roster comes from home grown players?
Sure, was just a joke. Curious if there are any really talented players who have caught your eye.
Correct - the FA made two recent changes which in its wisdom will help build a better national team. One is to make work permits and exceptions harder to get and the other is to increase the home grown requirements. The home grown rules change in several ways, moving the ages down, increasing the minimum numbers of players, and changing the "club-trained" requirements. I think u21s are still exempt though. For Chelsea, I think Cesc is no longer going to qualify as home-grown in England, but the club should not have any difficulty complying next season.
I only read about them and watch highlights. The normal progression for these young players will be to go on loan, hopefully to a Championship team. The young players in the CFC program with the best shot at playing for Mourinho next year are the ones currently on loan, like Patrick Bamford who was POY in the Championship this season, but there are many others who could make it next season. As Native notes, Mourniho has said he'll not loan Solanke or Loftus-Cheek, but that could just mean one more season practicing with the seniors while playing for the U21s, then likely going on loan the following year. All Chelsea fans want to see Solanke as the Drogba replacement next season, but a loan is likely much better for him than sitting as #3 forward behind Costa and Remy.
Hard to believe that author hasn't been snapped up by some team's analytics department.
To answer your question about the best young Chelsea players: A starting XI of the best prospects currently with the Chelsea Academy from three days ago. Good read with [ridculous] player comparisons:
I thought he hit the woodwork vs Chelsea? anyway, none of this is surprising.
Hey we'll GLADLY give them M'BohliSo this is the Montreal keeper situation if I have it right for the CCL final
Starting keeper: Cap tied, can't play
Backup keeper: Yellow card suspension, can't play
Second backup keeper: injured, can't play
Emergency keeper: never played an MLS game, just recently joined team for practice
Emergency backup keeper: youngster from academy just returning from injury.
You can't make that crap up for the biggest game in the teams history.
You would think Philly could find them a keeper
He did but that is not considered a shot on goal by the stats.
Terry had an interesting comment in the post-match interview thing they do when asked about the different tactical setups between ManU and Arsenal. Basically said someone big and physical like Zouma could mark Fellaini out of the match in his typical condensing manner.
You have to feel for Evan Bush.Hey we'll GLADLY give them M'BohliSo this is the Montreal keeper situation if I have it right for the CCL final

How so?El Floppo said:
he was positionally offsides when the pass was made- but he clearly took himself out of the play by stopping his run and had nothing to do with the play. when he saw that Miralles received the ball, Lukaku was no longer offsides and continued his run.
Which is why I think Montreal should get Courtois in on a loan ASAP now that Chelsea have won the EPL.NewlyRetired said:You have to feel for Evan Bush.Ted Lange as your Bartender said:Hey we'll GLADLY give them M'BohliNewlyRetired said:So this is the Montreal keeper situation if I have it right for the CCL final

He spent the entire game in Costa Rica dodging objects thrown from the stands until one finally hit him in the head
Then he spends the entire game in Mexico having to fend off very bright lasers aimed at his eyes and face.
Then he picks up a horrendously called late yellow card that causes him to miss the biggest game of his life.
haven't been following the coca-cola league at all, so I appreciate these updates.
Does anyone know what the smallest stadium capacity ever has been in the EPL?
Based on 2 min of research I think the answer is yes. Oldham Athletic's Boundary Park is smaller today than Bournemouth's ground but Oldham wasn't all seater during their brief top flight run in the first two seasons of the Premier League era.
So Bayren may have a chance to win two trophies with in a week on the same field? That's neat.
I disagree. The ball went right by him and he turned to run after it. There was noone else the ball could be played too or was involved at that point. As soon as he turned and took steps toward the ball he became offside. It wasnt until everyone (Lukaku and the idiots in the United defense) stopped that Miralles became part of the play. It was Lukaku's movement that made him part of the play, caused everyone to stop and the flag should have gone up.
