Southampton Academy

Certainly producing

Roughly £70,000,000 from 5 players?

(Bale, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Shaw, )

Plenty more still there.

Bale going on to be worth £85,000,000

Will another academy come close?

Man Utd's

And only £25m for Lalana????

Man Utd's

Not in the past mate I mean present time

Ours is a fairly new one and with the club investing more than ever in it the future should be bright ,we need our training ground built now to progress even more

A bit like a goldfish swimming next to a great white at the moment but we are headed in the right direction.

Good to see these great changes happening at our club.

Lallana was bought from bournmouth

Lallana was bought from bournmouth

Shoot me

Lallana was bought from bournmouth

Wasn't that as an academy player?

Man Utd's

Man utd loose their best youth players these days. Rossi, Gerard piqué, paul pogba and Daehli all in their youth academy. Didn't fancy playing u-21 forever while fergie and moyes kept playing the older generation.
It's quite amussimg to see them spend so much money on Herrera and shaw while they loose their own talent.. Southampton youth academy is doing a great job. Inevitably shaw would leave but at least they got payed.

Correct. A mate of mine was at Bournemouth with him. When he was 14 my mate transferred to Pompey and lallana went to saints. My mate is one at hungerford

The only other one I can think that might come close is Athletic Bilbao's

Barcelona's. Messi is worth more on his own.

Messi, Puyol, Valdes, Iniesta, Xavi, Pedro, Busquets, Fabregas, Pique....thats just off the top of my head

Bournemouth have a 25% sell on clause.....a cool £6.25m for them

Barcelona's. Messi is worth more on his own.

Thiago Motta, Thiago Alcantara, Pepe Reina, Mikel Arteta, Luis Garcia........

Lallana was bought from bournmouth

At 12 years old.

Southampton's academy made him.

I've cocked my own thread up, when I was thinking about it I was thinking in the UK.

There are a few worldwide like has been pointed out

Bringing in the money, but losing Shaw and Lallana, not to mention Lambett, (not from their academy, I know), will significantly weaken the Saints next season.

I think they'll do reasonably well next season, as they have Ward-Prowse (From the academy) to replace Llanana, and Callum Chambers to replace Shaw + they got 50+ mill for them so enough money to replace and improve
