I remember Falcao and Higuain being there but completely forgot about Pato.
Edit: And after googling his illustrious Chelsea career (2 appearances, 1 goal) I found another one for the Chelsea strikers graveyard.

When the feck did Quaresma play for you? I thought that was Claudio Pizarro, but I was like “nah, surely not” so I googled, and even Claudio Pizarro played for you as well.

Dunno about average length of time stayed but Premier League debuts is do-able.
Chelsea have given 140 players a premier league debut since the start of the 2003/04 season.
For comparison (also since 2003/04):
Man United are at 118
Liverpool are at 125
Man City are at 124
Arsenal are at 113
Spurs are at 121.
Yeah that’s kinda what I expected. Take out the two years of Van Gaal giving a debut to every single youth team member possible and that number would be a lot lower also for United.
I Prob would after 5 pintsrandom one from their women's team

Ffs, who is this guy? I can't remember his name.As we all know Chelsea have signed thousands of players since Abramovich bought them all those years ago. Who is the most "Didn't he play for them?" player you can remember?
Marko Marin, I got it earlier, no idea how!
The German Messi
Preseason maverick, this guy. No-one can ever take that 2012 summer preseason away from him
Marko Marin.
Looked actually promising for a couple of years at Bremen but always was quite injured prone.
I think he got subbed on in extra time in the Europe league final 2013 when Chelsea won but had to be subbed again before the penalties because of an injury. Kinda fitting to his Chelsea career.
I'm 100% sure I know this guy, but no name comes to mind.
Hazard.
Was loaned in for Scolari, but then he was sacked a week later and Hiddink didn't fancy him.When the feck did Quaresma play for you? I thought that was Claudio Pizarro, but I was like “nah, surely not” so I googled, and even Claudio Pizarro played for you as well.
That being said the one time I recall him playing under Hiddink he actually came on and changed the game so not sure what happened there.
Geremi was born in the wrong era.
Would have been a bona-fide elite wingback in a back 3/5.
For some reason I was sure that Brazilian Diego who played for Wolfsburg/Werder Bremen rocked up at Chelsea at some point. He didn't.
There was also Hilario and that guy Abrosetti, who Vialli called the Italian Ryan Giggs.
FFS! Thank you, would have been easy in a black & yellow jersey.

You could add Casiraghi to that list.
If I remember correctly Marin was signed during the previous season at a time when it looked almost certain we wouldn't have UCL football on offer for 12/13. Then out of nowhere we ended up with the UCL win and used that opportunity to also get Hazard at LW which basically fecked over Marin's career at the club before it had even started. Signing Hazard was 100% the right choice but also a bit of dick move on Marin.
Maybe you're thinking of Deco, who kinda gives off Diego vibes.
Hilario was a weird one because he essentially accepted being a 3rd choice keeper until he retired. I have no idea what level he could have played at if he had tried being first choice somewhere else, but whatever the level, it gotta be more fulfilling than being the backup to the backup. He spent 12 years at Chelsea, less than 40 games.
Pretty sure he only had one Chelsea start to his name. Away at Anfield. Gerrard slipped.
It was actually 8 years, apologies. I went and checked.
Surprisingly, he managed to earn 1 Portugal cap while he was at Chelsea.
My candidate is Baba Rehman. Had a good season in the BL and then Chelsea bought him before shifting him to random clubs ever season on loan.
Part of a long list of random BL players bought and barely played by Chelsea. Minerio was a great find in the thread earlier.
