Wolves loan signing Michael Mancienne has hinted at leaving Chelsea because young players don't get a chance there. "Everyone in the Under-21 side is capable of playing in the Premier League - it's just getting the chance," the England Under 21 captain told the People.
"Most of the time loan moves are the best thing we can do ¬because you don't want to be sat around. Everyone just wants games.
"I don't know why young ¬players don't get a chance. Teams go out and buy a player for a lot of money and then have to play him to justify that. Otherwise, it's money down the drain.
"It is difficult to break in at Chelsea. They've got players who are representing and captaining their countries.
"They're in so many cup competitions as well and they need to win all the games.
"It's a good place to get your football education but it is hard for youngsters to get an ¬opportunity to play.
"I've played a few games but I've been out on loan the majority of the time.
"The manager doesn't speak to me, not when I'm out on loan. Instead, I just have scouts that come to watch games and I report to them and they then go to the club.
"As a player you just want the chance to make a name for ¬yourself, to show what you can do.
"So will I have to get away from Chelsea? Yes, I probably will."
"Mick [McCarthy] has been great for me at Wolves, he's given me the belief I needed.
"If I make a mistake in a game he'll pull me aside and tell me how I can improve.
"The truth is I don't care where I play at the moment. I just want to be out there."
