I heard from a pretty good source thatvrangera are meant to be getting 3 Chelsea youth players on a season long loan it was part of the billy gilmour signing for Chelsea.

Pedro said he doesn't want more than 2 loan players.

was the source bruno3. Chelsea got Gilmour fare and square. he went for money not the love of the game. I'd be happy if we played our own youth and not anyone else's.

Much prefer dorrans or walker and blood our own youngsters

I would much rather bring our own youth through and take someone on load who is hungry with a point to prove.
Another couple of permanent signings (hopefully Dorrans and another defender)
A couple of loan signings to give cover
Then take Walker and McLean on pre contracts (a big two fingers up to Aberdeen and Hearts)
I'll be happy with that

Pedro actually said he doesn't want more the 2 loan players for the same position. That being said no way are we taking 3 Chelsea players on loan. Loaning multiple players from one club never works out for both parties.

Haha your opening statement said I very rarely come on here with solid rumours which to me means you come on waffling nonsense but aye that happens all the time according to some on here petrol stations cafes chippies all top notch places for scouting loool I'll finish with a did he. aye 😂

Surely we would be more likely to get a City youngster on loan due to new director of Footballs knowledge and contacts from there.

I suspect that it will take a couple of years before the majority of our Youth players are ready for the first team squad. Right now I wouldn't be adverse to taking one or two Chelsea youngsters!

Serious question here lads, at what point do we stop caring about youth development and start caring about having the best and most suitable players, regardless of age and nationality?
I see a ton of comments about bringing through our own, but to be honest, if they're not the very best available to us, they're not the standard we should be accepting.
I'd happily have a top-tier loanee from Chelsea than a mid-table SPL player from our youth setup. Maybe it's just me, but I feel that the "loyalty to youth" aspect of the game is almost irrelevant now, we should continue to seek the very best at all ages and build around what's available to us.
Thoughts?
