CFG | Academy | EDS in & out season 2021/22

Tbh, it's really showing the value of loans. Look how much Chelsea and Liverpool recoup from academy sales after successful loan deals.
Has to be the right loan to the right club, though. Nmecha was fairly poor at every club he went to until the Anderlecht move kickstarted his career again. We finally seem to be getting better at selecting the right club for the right players at the right time eg Rogers at Lincoln, Fiorini at NAC Breda. Others have disappeared after barely being played at Girona for example
 




Blackburn for Tommy Doyle? Will he have a future here since he is starting to go on loan? new Tosin? Zuculini?
Future city legend and go in the family fotsteps?

Swansea, Fulham and Blackburn play the best football of this lot so would probably be the best destination for him. Forget the long ball outfits like Boro and Cardiff

Sheffield United could be a good fit.

I’d add West Brom to the list as they’ve appointed the Barnsley manager.
 
Good deal all round imo. He's probably worth closer to £20M but with the buy-back/sell-on failsafes, it works out pretty well for us I think.
If not for something of an 'Indian summer' in regards his form,both domestically on loan and for the German u21's,we would not have achieved the amount we have - he has blossomed just at the right time.

I suspect with loan fees included,we have probably made 15m from his time here,and as you say....with the bonus of potentially more to come.

Another academy success story.
