Brazilian Backbone?

With Ramires and Luiz starting to light up the Chelsea team, and being quite young players, it makes you wonder if they are indeed the future of Chelsea.
I'd like to think they are.

It's no secret that we have an ageing squad, and over the next few years we will need to see a transition, with a number of new players being introduced to the team. Hopefully, this will mean a few youth players climbing through the ranks and into the first eleven.

The books need to be balanced in time for the 'fair play' rules that will be in place in the not too distant future. However, that didn't stop Abramovich splashing the cash on Luiz and Torres. Both of which i'm sure will be worth the money.

But it surely limits the spending in this summers transfer window, and also means that some players will be leaving in order to make up a bit of money. Atleast, thats my guess.

So with players like Mceachran, Cork, Kakuta, Sturridge and even more slowly approaching a solid level, i expect a gradual  transofmration to take place, and i believe these will be based around the likes of Luiz and Ramires.

The two of them are clearly find adapting to english football not as difficult as other Brazilians before them. Whether that will keep it up is yet to be seen, but i have full confidence in thier abilities. Perhaps they're pace and flair can set up a smoother, and quick chelsea, compared with the powerful non nonsence chelsea that we've become used to.

Imagine if the expected abilities of our young stars shine through, we would have a quick flowing team with a lot of ability, certainly an exciting thought.
