EDS SALES - Running Total

this can't be right ... Ste Howson assures me that City have NOTHING to show for the effort spent on their academy
 
When you sign a player for £12m and sell for £3m you aren't making money, and selling a 26 year old who just signed on an internal transfer is nothing to do with the EDS.

Roberts was signed for £5m upfront with up to £6m in add-ons, of which we don't know if any of them were triggered. He also had many (far too many) loans which would have brought in some loan fees.

The table does say CFG/Academy so Mooy very much does belong there.

Edit: I know the title says EDS without mention of the CFG but you'd have to take that up with the OP.
 
Disingenuous to say EDS/Academy/CFG 'produced' £442m. I see Felix Correia credited with 'contributing' £9.5m, which is simply laughable. We paid £3-4m to Sporting for him (not mentioned anywhere), then swapped him for a kid from Juventus (Pablo Moreno, not mentioned anywhere here), both valued at £9.5m, where essentially no funds were exchanged. Pablo Moreno then was released unceremoniously.

How tf did we 'produce' £9.5m here? Not only did we not make anything near that on Felix Correia, we actually burned the initial fee of £3-4m plus wages with no return whatsoever on that investment (no biggie, but let's be honest!). Either whoever created that table is a kfa or intentionally misleading.

That table is purely incomings, if you think you can create one that takes any purchase prices including mandatory training fees plus wages into account then knock yourself out.

Correia would have been valued at £9.5m on the books so it is valid, he was loaned out for the one season he was here with perhaps a loan fee payable and them picking up his wages. If you know better than please post it.

Moreno was loaned out and eventually released and seems to have gone downhill for whatever reason.

BlueCityBrain is neither KFA or deliberately misleading anyone. Perhaps it's just your comprehension at fault?

Maybe your comprehension doesn't extend all the way to the terms used here, e.g. money made, £ produced?

And even if this list was clearly labeled as purely incomings, maybe I just don't feel the need to parade fabricated accounting nonsense such as the clearly bogus values of two nobody teenagers being valued £10m each and disappearing into the footballing nether shortly after. The club is well-run as is without having to resort to that sort of hyperbole.
