Jose WILL NOT I repeat WILL NOT give youth a real chance. Ive had Jose manager of Chelsea twice and seen him talk about youth loads and make promise after promise regarding them and the best he does is 10 mins here and there or maybe MAYBE they get a game in the last few games when the season is over. If you think otherwise then you havent really followed Jose's career lately at allQuote:

Spurs would throw every junior down to Under 7's into a fiery volcano in order to win one EPL title, let alone 3.
I mean, apart from Fergies generation and Barca has anyone ever won anything near that level with their own youth?
Roman wanted the youth to come in. We just havent had a manager really brave enough to try it until FrankQuote:

Haha. Didn't want to make it too childish or direct, but I'm pretty proud of my little dig there.Quote:
