Vitesse currently have five Chelsea youngsters on loan, and technical Director Mo Allach will soon meet with the London club to discuss an extension for some of the players. However, Chelsea assistant manager Eddie Newton has told VI that they are concerned with the playing time their youngsters will receive.
Newton said, “It’s all about the players development for us. There are things that are important to us. Firstly, the player’s development on and off the pitch. Do they improve as a player, get more clever, more independent and things like that?”
“The second and equally important point: Is our player actually playing minutes. If this is not the case, then their development is in danger. Then we have to look at another club.”
Dominic Solanke is currently the only Chelsea loanee who has impressed this season, with Lewis Baker and Isaiah Brown appearing mostly from the bench, while Nathan and Danilo Pantic have barely featured at all.

This is ridiculous. Why should clubs promise to develop loaned players. This is payback. The Eredivisie is not a developmental league. It might be a feeder league as they can’t compete with the big money clubs that Platini personally created. Ajax has 4 CL trophies and PSV and Feyenoord one each and GREED and a lack of vision by Platini has ruined domestic leagues. 4 teams from the EPL league make the CL . Arsenal has 1 domestic league title in 12 years and as long as they finish 4th they are in. Sorry that is a huge imbalance and is ethically and morally wrong. Cripes how many teams do we see even in Spain with no sponsor. On the other hand Vitesse has been notorious in selling young players to bigger clubs. Why should I support such corruption. I am done with this sport. Match fixing, illegal transfers. Platini and Blatter both suspended is the only honest thing UEFA or FIFA has done. Watching the Dutch win 5-1 over Spain with my very old father was the best time I have had watching any sport. As for Vitesse I am selling out like you now. Making millions for playing a game so corrupt is dumbfounding. The fans get NOTHING and PAY for EVERYTHING. Not me. NO more. I have over 30 National and CLUB Jerseys and will never buy another and have started to trash them. Getting too old for this. Its not sport anymore its business and dog eat dog. Whew!!!!!!!!
Very well put Mike the problem now is it has gone on for so long it has become part of their normal working procedure as for Platani he is just as bad as Blatter only in it for themselfs it was something of a win when this CORUPT mob where brought down every league in Europe nis affected and it is now wide spread apart from the DUTCH leagues I follow the SPL in SCOTLAND and the so called directors of the league are doing exactly the same only in it for their own agenda they had a directors meeting about 2 months ago to have some new members on the board when this looked like that they would have some decent people representing the club’s the panicked and said there was no need to change the board of directors and to make matters worse the chairman of the league has never played or had anything to do with football before he took this position ….. Thanks Mike for your comment …… John .. ……
