...he's only just turned 18 so it'd be a big step up for him to come in and do that job. I do think he's going to be a top player though.
Bellingham is how old?
You're probably right about Chuk's development path, but age is not the determinant.

Think Kessler and Chukweumeka will be involved as they sound ready. Loan a couple more out.

I wouldn't compare every 17/18 year old with Bellingham. Players develop at different rates, both mentally and physically. Bellingham is a rare one that looks ready at 17

Yes that's right, Gareth Barry and Wayne Rooney were the same. Some young lads that age look good against against other kids, but it's rare that you can take one out and plonk them in straight in the full team.

The Noses didn’t really have much of a choice with Bellingham. He was a standout player and at that level he was good enough to be introduced. I don’t know for sure had he been at a PL club he would have got the chance because clubs are a lot more cautious in blooding younger players. Also the stakes are so much higher in terms of results and impact on young players that there is a greater hesitancy in doing that. But he’s clearly a top player in the making. Every fan at every club wants to see their top younger academy talent emerge that way.

+ 1 for Bissouma.  He'll have plenty of suitors though.

Yes, my question was rhetorical.
Age is not a key determinant; was my point.

Bellingham and Rooney were physically developed well beyond their years.  It doesn't strike me that Chukweumeka is, so I think he'll probably remain a slow burner.

My point wasn't so much that he was too young but more that we don't need to force it, he's got 2-3 years to slowly break through and have a 'normal' career.

Take Phil Foden for example, he's been touted as one of the best young players in the country for a few years but it's really in the last 12 months that he's nailed down a regular spot in the team and he turns 21 next month.

I'd like to see our kids given that same time to slowly integrate into the squad and develop into playing regularly. The next stage is to get them some senior appearances, either as cameos from the bench with us or out on loan. What gives me hope is that how we're handling Jacob Ramsey is exactly how I want to see players come through.

Bellingham has done well and looks a fantastic prospect but you can't avoid the fact that the main reason he came through when he did was that the first team at Blues are fucking shit so it wasn't much of a gamble to throw him in. We're looking to break into the top 6 in the hardest league in the world next season, that's a very different environment to bring young players into.

Against that is the fact that any youngster playing for us during the rest of the season can do so knowing that any mistake he might make won't potentially cost us £100 million.

Absolutely, I think now is the right time to give a few of these lads a game or 2 I just think expecting Chukwuemeka to play 25-30 games in the first team next season would be rushing him along when we don't need to. If he's good enough that he earns that many appearances then fantastic but I don't think we should be expecting that.

One player I would be introducing right now is Kesler Hayden over Elmo. Love Elmo but he will be gone in the summer.
