The best in the World, is linked below. They churn out Messi's like a factory line.
Looking at all the players, plying their trade, in the Prem this month. What proportion came through formal academies ?
Looking at all the youth in a typical academy, what percentage will actually 'make it' ? Do Prem clubs prefer to buy proven talent than molding it on a training ground ? And hence, is having an academy more suitable to League One or maybe the Championship ?
What is the best way for a club to establish ownership of its academy assets ?
Do academies eat up money or are they a good investment ? Does one or two Wilfried Zaha's justify the whole exercise ? How many academy cast-offs eventually go on to discredit those who sacked them ? and conquer the World ? Is there still room in football for heroic amateurs ?
