are we actually operating the Chelsea model though?

If we are consciously signing young players we know won't ever be good enough for us then yes, I agree with you.

I'd assumed we were picking these players up with a view to them actually turning out for us (and them just either not being good enough, or having the bad luck to peak at a time when the club was playing at a higher level)
