Well this I suppose is the point. It only takes one or two to come through. If Ben White continues to perform as he has so far at Leeds, based on what we paid for Webster then he’s worth £15-20m. That pays for the academy for a couple of years while we wait for the next one. Or alternatively we have another PL ready CB.

Meanwhile the ones who don’t make it at the highest level but are still decent league one or champ level can be sold for a few million, making a smaller profit. It is a business after all. We can keep the best of the youth products for ourselves, the rest keep the academy ticking over.

Spot on. Bloom has consistently said the academy is a long-term project. Looks like it's now bearing fruit. Unfortunately impatience and short-termism are currently popular, so I suspect you'll have to carrying on explaining.
