Darko Gyabi and Egan-Riley as well both got permanent moves to Leeds and Burnley. Looks like over 40 million brought in for them all. Brilliant business as we have a buy back / sell on clauses inserted . This is most definitely the way forward well done txixiGuess the writing was on the wall with Phillips coming in.
These transfers always sting a bit but in the grand scheme of things this is a success story for the academy.
There's the obvious financial impact, but we are also churning out talent. There's a pathway to the first team at City - Foden, hopefully Palmer and McAtee soon - but if not, to other top tier clubs. Edozie, Bazunu, Lavia just this summer all got, in my opinion, pretty good moves for where they are in their career.
So even the ones who don't 'make it' here are getting world class coaching and appealing transfers right at the stage when they need to be playing. Looks good for the Academy and the Club.
Yep, some questioned the academy but with players now coming thru and playing for the first team and others being sold for decent fee’s, were starting to see the benefit.Guess the writing was on the wall with Phillips coming in.

If he was, he wouldn't be on his way to Southampton on a permanent deal.
Have you seen him play?If he was, he wouldn't be on his way to Southampton on a permanent deal.
Yes ,regularly.Have you seen him play?
Probably the right decision for him at the time with James in front of him!!Livramento was one of the best players in the Chelsea academy but decided he’d rather join Southampton and play regular football than stick around and maybe play the odd cup game for Chelsea
Probably a few more to be shifted as well. CFG players like Herrera, Itakura, Couto, sarmiento, Bustos, Moreno, Stevanovic, Ilic, Palmer-Brown etc
Plus academy lads like Fiorini, Rogers, Muric etc
I didn't say that at all.Yes ,regularly.
What's that got to do with my answer to a poster.
He thought he was one of the special ones in the Academy and was surprised they have let him go, the club obviously doesn't agree, contrary to what he or I believe.
