CIES Football Observatory n°409 - 15/02/2023 https://www.football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/b5wp/2022/wp409/en/ Values Golden factories: top academies worldwide Issue number 409 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post ranks teams worldwide according to the total estimated transfer value of their youth academy graduates (at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21) active in more than 50 professional leagues. SL Benfica tops the table with a total academy graduates’ value of €670 million spread between 104 players, of which €151m for 20 footballers whose transfer rights are still owned by the Portuguese team. Chelsea and Barcelona round up the podium. The total estimated transfer value of the 78 Chelsea’s academy graduates identified is €630m, while that of the 102 footballers trained by Barcelona is €581m. Three Brazilian teams are in the top 10: São Paulo, Santos and Flamengo. Considering only the players whose transfer rights are still owned by their training club, the top three consist of Chelsea (€325m), Barcelona (€280m) and Manchester City (€250m). Transfer values were assessed through a statistical model exclusively developed by the CIES Football Observatory research team. A toolkit developed in association with Wyscout available on subscription notably includes the estimates for >30,000 players from 75 leagues worldwide. More information and a free trial access are available on demand.

£116.6m (counting his bloated contract) down the shitter

Ben Chilwell created more chances (3) in 71 minutes against Dortmund than Marc Cucurella has managed to create in his last 8 games (2) in all competitions. https://www.Chelsea-news.co/2023/02/this-astonishing-stat-looks-bad-for-marc-cucurella/

So I am damaging Chelsea FC now? lol

it would be a disaster to say fuck it, we stick with the old stadium you do realise that CapEx for our physical plant does NOT count against FFP? we will be short-changed (via not having a new stadium for revenue) for 500 plus million quid (at a minimum, could be far more) in potential new revenue over a 10 year period plus it hurts recruiting

well, we all have to face the fact that it is a possibility that 2022 destroyed as a viable top 10 club in the world for perhaps a decade IF most off the hugely expensive signings go tits up and we also regularly miss out on European football and then FFP crushes us (we will not have a new stadium unto 2030 at the earliest, so no way for that to bail us out) we are well fucked NOT saying that is where we are headed, BUT it is a deffo possibility

my Potter OUT is not based off this game BUT it is partially his fault he do not have a fucking real CF its is insane that we spent £600+m and have no CF Potter should have put his foot down and told Boehly 'fuck off with the retread tyre failed Auba shit and get me someone who is not rinsed' and btw Broja is going to be fucked for at least the next 12 to 18 months, and maybe permanently so anyone (not saying you are m8, btw) hanging hopes on him is just whistling past the graveyard

exactly sis ☹️

I think that last Enzo shot made it 8 on target

Xavi speaks perfect English (not that he is leaving Barca for YEARS, LOLOL)

at least Arse are no longer top of the table (but they do have a game in hand)

he could not be registered for the CL

pathetic finishing

lol, that is the worst overreaction I have seen in years

BOTH!!!!!

fuck off Ziyech

one of the most frustrating games in the last 5, 7 years sigh

Kai is just useless thanks for the CL final goal but time to GTFO

I think he is downing tools cuz we fucked up his loan to PSG Potter is a fucking duncy twat for playing him

cunt Ziyech had multiple open for a cross and shot a weak shot straight to the keeper

I cannot take much more of this its self-harm almost at this point just to watch us

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK again we are cursed

Ziyech is a turd circling the bowl I am starting to TRULY hate him as a player fucking massive fraud

I think this is a good call he seems too eager to try and prove his huge t fee needs a REAL manager to tell him to calm down
