CFG | Academy | EDS in & out season 2022/23

Ante Palaversa? Was said he was next Modric. Now he seems to be off to Troyes permanently after about 3 years of loaning out

Feels like the level of in house academy products are improving based on all the recent sales, but those CFG "imports" are in a bit of decline none of them turning into any exciting or getting to a level where we can sell them for 10m or so.
Diego Rosa, Palaversa, Kayky, Couto etc, there was bit of hype around them, but very clear they never hit the first team level, and unlikely to even make back the original buy fee on them.

We used to make bit of profit in the previous "era" with the likes of Harrison, Mooy. mostly miss than hit since those guys.

We've cleared most of the CFGers since the new UEFA loan regulations were introduced in 2022 and only have a handful left out on loan, the majority of them under-21. Some of them (Couto, Kaboré) are showing promise and could generate a nice sum in the future, others (Stevanovic, Kayky etc.) seem to be write-offs. Then there are those parked at other CFG clubs (Savio, Metinho etc.) Doesn't seem that much different than "the previous era" if you can even call it that, but there was definitely a change in strategy since the outgoing loans for over-21 players were capped by UEFA.
