Interesting that you don't include Liverpool in your list

But a lot of your success in this regard seems to be from the way you hoover up youth players. I think it is immoral and rules need to come in to prevent it but fair play to you for the clever approach.

You bought two players with a minimal net spend. Well done.

How did you fund the other 23+ players?

Same way all other clubs do, we also generate more revenue than most.

Your response summed up in two words, 'I guess'!


Yes you do!

Thought they were bringing rules in to stop clubs stockpiling youth players and sending them out on loan all over the place?

The vast majority of them have been bought through the academy and been at the club since they were knee high to a grasshopper.

I suppose there'll be a campaign now to try and makes us feel guilty for having one of the best academies in Europe!

That is a list of all our loanees for this season - out of that list only Castillo, Maatsen and Gilmour were not full time graduates of the academy since childhood!

Absolutely immoral Superb - much better leave them on the streets to get into gang culture rather than give them a focus and life changing opportunity!

Leicester are the best run club by a distance. Liverpool are well run under FSG so far but they were lucky with some key decisions. Replacing their aging front three will be their ultimate challenge.

Chelsea abuse the youth system for more than a decade, and now reaping the benefits. They are probably the best at exploiting loopholes in the system.

Oh ffs. Clubs don’t give two sh#ts about the future of their youth players. They are ruthless when releasing players that are not up to standards.

They really don’t. Clubs don’t care when they release youth players, players whom have sacrificed their adolescence years and education for football and the club.

There is literally no morality or compassion in youth football. It’s deluded to think otherwise.

Well you're wrong, most clubs, certainly Chelsea do, ensure their education is not neglected so should their football careers fail they have something to fall back on.

They're also given lessons in financial management and social media awareness etc.

Your claims are obviously based on your own gut feeling rather than fact!
