Chelsea FC add three Luton youngsters to the academy

This type of news is going to become commonplace once the EPPP takes hold this summer. Youngsters at around this age group will be the first to massively benefit from the additional training hours that tier 1 academies like Chelsea will be able to offer. I'd expect that much of the top young talent in this age group will start making its way to the mega-clubs now under the new system installed by the FA.

Good to hear

the comments about how ethically and professionally Chelsea behaved during the whole thing.

That was the part that really caught my eye as well

Probably didn't want another Kakuta incident

Pretty cool that they're brothers and that we brought all three, even if we might only be truly interested in one or two

There used to be a slight bug in earlier editions of FM that allowed you to form parent-feeder club partnerships within the English Leagues. Almost always I ended up with a Chelsea-Luton link. So clearly I’m a genius when it comes to football management. Yet my talents remain unrecognized outside of my local mainframe.

Such a travesty.

I’m Jack’s wasted life.
