1/3 .. Thomas Tuchel is going to discard youth = Unfounded drivel! He promoted Pulisic as a 17 yr old & had him hugely involved. He used Ginter(21) Weigl(20) & Dembele(19) extensively, along with Passlack(18) sparingly. Age doesn’t matter - If he feels you’re ready - you’re in.
2/3.. At Mainz he had 8 players in the squad 22 or under - André Schürrle was a huge part of it at 19. At PSG even with star names, he fast tracked players from the academy & on one particular occasion ended a league game v Caen with five 19 yr olds on the pitch at the same time.
3/3 .. Loan moves may come that you don’t agree with. It doesn’t mean he’s discarding it - it’s how he best sees their development. Frank let Ethan & Conor go, he felt that was best. TT loves youthful energy. Broaden your knowledge outside Chelsea, it’ll help avoid lazy opinion.
