A great piece. Daniel puts in a good shift researching these articles (he and I corresponded, albeit briefly, on the topic for this!), and I think they're always well considered, regardless of club. A really good read with some insights I didn't know about Pell and similar.
Including any player to have come through our youth, whether that means from aged 9 or joining us aged 16/17:
1. what would be the best team available still playing today? 2. Where would they be in the football pyramid if all playing in a team now? 3 What's the total value of the 11.
Pope Dijksteel Konsa. Gomez. Doughty K Grant Shelvey Aribo. Sarmiento. Lookman. Leaburn
Others still playing league football (I have no doubt missed some) Beadle, Phillips, Assimwe, Anderson, Kanu, Fox, Mitchell, Morgan, Burstow, Wiredu, Lapslie, Cousins, Piggott, Ajayi, Jenkinson
That lot would be a PL/Championship yoyo which isn't bad for a L1 team academy.
Value something like £150M?
and how much of that estimated150 million pounds value did we get.

Hopefully the future remains bright!
