There are 4 Chelsea players in the England squad, and 3 of them were playing in the Championship last season. Lampard is certainly giving the young players a fair crack of the whip, and it looks like his faith is being rewarded. The big question is can this policy bring success in the long-term, and will it become a trend for other clubs to follow? This model seems to be working quite well in the German Bundesliga, and I would love to see it happen at Cardiff City. There is something about seeing young players come through the ranks and making the grade, especially if they are home-grown talents. Players like Tosh, Earnie, Blakey & Rambo were great to watch, even though they moved onto to better themselves. It's a pity that out academy is such a shambles, as I had high hopes when Bellamy first came on the scene.
