Ancelotti excited about young talent coming through at Chelsea

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says he's excited about the young talent coming through at Stamford Bridge.

He has given youth a chance this season more than any other manager in the era of the Russian multi-billionaire and the Italian is committed to his philosophy.

Indeed, for Daniel Sturridge, Gael Kakuta, Fabio Borini, Jeffrey Bruma and Nemanja Matic, they can expect to play a much bigger part in the next campaign.

Ancelotti said so himself at a club event last week. He revealed: “All the young players have impressed me. They are all very young — Borini was born in 1991, Bruma 1991, Kakuta 1991, Matic 1988 and Sturridge 1989.

“All these players can have a future in this club. They need to improve and they are working to improve. But I think next year all these players will be in the squad.”

The english youngsters are crap except for sturridge

What about good english talent playing in England U21 out on loan year after year ask him he wouldnt be able to tell you their names: Mancienne, Bertrand, Cork, Sinclair - Cork & Bertrand both played over 120 games for gods sake what does it take for good english youngsters to get a chance at chelsea? Funny how all the ones getting chance are what arnesen brought in and the english U21 boys were before he arrived...funny that

Same bloody talk every single ***** season. Why ***** lie? Just say "no, the youth won' be used at all so they might as well leave the club". I gave up hope of seeing any young player in the 1st team when Abramovich corrupted the club.
