Sounds alright actually.
Well, he's developed Oscar, Azpilicueta & Hazard into top players. He brought Courtois back from loan & binned Cech in favour of him. Zouma got alot of gametime last season for a 20 year old & started ahead of Cahill in our last game.
Our much heralded youth isn't all that special to play for a club with World Class players apart from 2/3 players. Namely Musonda, Loftus-Cheek & maybe Boga. 1 is already getting decent gametime, lets see how he develops the other two.
This notion Mourinho doesn't play young players is a bit silly & childish. If they're good enough, they play. The ones that need 2/3 seasons are rightfully sent out on loan.

Takes like two hours+ for it to all happen.
Highlights are Teri Hatcher drops her dress and 0.5 of a second of side boob.
As things stand mate it will be a small weight watchers piece of lemon drizzle.
We massively need a centre back ( hopefully Mori will be confirmed tomorrow ), playmaker and a back up striker. Absolutely imperative these signings are in and it isn't just thrown together at 5.55pm on Tuesday.

Lets not go and trumped the heralds saying this is a great decision. "HEY you know how we loaned you out? Well we're going to KEEP you this year. WHOA, i KNOW! Who knew that we could do such a thing!".
When your keeper out on loan is better than your starting keeper, making a point that bigs it up is a bit... excessive.

He has improved me young players. In fairness none of the 3 examples you gave were no marks when they joined though were they?
I think the criticism that Chelsea, who have won the youth cup or be finalists over a number of years haven't really seen that lead to regular starters for the team. Likewise there are ethical issues about Chelsea buying up lots of young players, sending them out on loan to them sell them at a profit. It works well for Chelsea, but there are ethical issues.
We'll see if the likes of Loftus Cheek or Boga get game time, I have my doubts.
Stones is a very good central defender. He has potential to be one of the best we've had in this country. He can do things very few centre half can. I saw him put RVP in his back pocket as a teenager, and dribble past him with a Cruyff turn. However he still makes mistakes. Martinez is happy to embrace players mistakes, encourage them even as long as they keep doing the right thing, and it's part of their development. Mourinho is very different in his approach. As you said "if they're good enough, they play".
At present I doubt Stones is good enough to be the no mistakes type of centre half Mourinho wants. It's a very strange signing really. If I were Stones I'd be worried I'd make a couple of mistakes, be told to change my game and not play to my strengths, and end up being sent out here there and everywhere. He wouldn't be the first.
How much can you see Chelsea coming back to bid mate? I suspect it may require close to 50 million to get him.

You make it sound like he will be dragged kicking and screaming from goodison, has no say in the matter , he's only 12 yrs old and can't make a decision for himself.... bottom line is he has thought long and hard about it ... He wants to play for chelsea and not everton
Don't know if that's true , but just saw a video of an Everton fan viciously abusing John Stone how can that help?
Don't know if Stones will stay ,this is still to run. But at the moment proud of Roberto Martinez and Bill Kenwright for their stance.
