๐ฃ๏ธ A parent of one of Chelseaโs academy prospects on the clubโs policy of signing young players with potential to kierangill/mailsport:
โFrom a parent point of view, the signing of youngsters from all over the world is the best thing that could ever happen to [name redacted], in my own opinion.
โThe reason I say this is because of the quality and benchmark that he has to reach in order to be considered the best of the best. It will also help his game and push him to be a world class player without any bias.
โI would rather see (player) walk into a dressing room with Ballon dโOr contenders and mix with the best to enhance his development. It is also an opportunity for him to outshine the talent coming in.
โIn as much as we want the boys to excel, we have to be honest with the level they are going to be showcasing their abilities. Imagine when he or the other academy boys become solid members of what the club are trying to build.
โFrom my own assessment, Cobham has enough talent to compete with any talent around the world.โ
Thoughts? ๐คโฌ๏ธ

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca cancelled a scheduled day off for senior players this week after they were beaten 3-0 by the clubโs Under-21 team in a training exercise.
Maresca took the action after being disappointed by what he had seen during the drill. While it was not a full 90 minute match between the first team and academy players, the less experienced group came out on top with 19-year-old Donnell McNeilly getting two of the goals.
The game involved senior players who were not involved on international duty, while the Under-21s had some Under-16s playing to help make up the numbers.
With Chelsea not playing their next fixture, which is against Tottenham Hotspur, until next Thursday, Maresca had scheduled for everyone to have Thursday, March 27 as a day off. But he scrapped the idea after not being happy with what he saw.
Chelsea were boosted by the return of Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke to training on Friday after injury. Palmer missed the last game against Arsenal and withdrew from England duty due to a muscular injury. The 22-year-old has had a couple of scans and been given the all-clear to resume duties.
Madueke has not played since suffering a hamstring injury against Brighton last month, but is also back in action. They both featured in todayโs session which sources, who spoke anonymously to protect relationships, was more to the level Maresca expects.
