The Athletic reported on Tuesday that the club could soon be losing three of their brightest academy prospects, citing contract issues.
Tino Livramento, Lewis Bate and Myles Peart-Harris will all reportedly look to enter the final year of their contract without signing an extension.
This is another testament to the struggles Chelsea's academy has always faced when it comes to retaining their players.
The Tribuna Blues community speculated on thee meaning and consequences of this report and here are some of the best comments.
Lewis Dicks: "IF THEY DON'T WANT TO SIGN A NEW CONTRACT GET SHOT OF THEM, THEIR LOSS IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE FIRE IN THEIR GUT TO GET IN THE A TEAM BYE BYE. NO PLAYERS ARE BIGGER THAN CHELSEA."
Mason Mount: "The club is gradually getting back to the years we didn't care about academy players.. Looks like a Mourinho in Tuchel reigning with rather proven and costly players."
Ibidapo Olalekan Jimoh: "Not all players will make it to the first team!! Let them go if they refuse to sign a new contract."
PatrickSixtus Okoro: "These boys should emulate from Mason Mount, James, CHO, John Terry who worked their ass off to make it into the first team.
"They should stop asking for assurance for regular playing time. Prove yourself good and TT will see you. If they want to go, fine, follow Lamptey and leave."
Legend72: "We are being unfair to these young talents. Of course not all should be promoted to first team but the very good ones should be given the opportunity and show them love.
"What’s the point you let those very good ones leave only to return in 2 or 3 years to buy them back on exorbitant price. It makes no sense.
"Moreover Chelsea end up signing up players from other academy who eventually not as good as theirs."
