Map of where 33 different Chelsea players are currently playing their football is frightening

WTF?

Either Jose Mourinho is planning for the next 15 years in the most diligent way possible, or he just could't give a toss. Imagine being a youngster touted by the Premier League champions right now. Would you even get excited? Chelsea have 33 of their players currently out on loan away from the club. Thirty bloody three. What is the point? They'll be lucky if three of those become of any use to them. And, even in the cold realities of modern day football, if any of them did come through, they'd probably only be replaced by an expensive transfer anyway. This map, that appeared on Reddit today, is just baffling. From Scotland to Turkey, Chelsea have temporarily exported their players to 26 different clubs across Europe. All the stories of Mourinho keeping his first team squad as small as possible must not be without truth. Wonder how many of these guys will ever feature in his plans.
