Not to mention players such as Jamal Musiala, Declan Rice, Eddie Nketiah, Michael Olise and Samuel Iling-Junior who also spent considerable time in the academy.
3:50 Lampard delivered MASSIVE success over his first 18 months. He brought through multiple youth academy players like Mount, Tammy, and James that paved the way for the UCL win in 2021. He also got Chelsea to a final that they should have won and got top 4 with a team with a lot of new youngsters and aging talents
Tuchel was a better manager, doesn't matter whether Frank achieved this success or not. And he is better at developing youngsters instead of a set of tactics to defend from opponents.
There's a phrase used among Chelsea fans called 'Chelsea's Loan Army' since many many years which only tells you the amount of players that are coming in through the academy and if they don't get the first team chance at Chelsea, they definitely do in the other teams.
The loan army had nothing to do with the academy. That was part of a policy of buying cheap players, loaning them to increase value and then sell at a profit
it's certainly the best in terms of transfer fees recouped for its players, though whether those players are actually worth those fees is another matter entirely. but chelsea's academy is definitely top 3 in the world over the past couple decades
The goal of Chelsea's academy wasn't to make players for the first team. It was to make money to avoid FFP problems by selling loads of youth players for a profit. Lampard had no choice but to start his academy players, as soon as the transfer embargo was over they went back to buying in players.
Chelsea's great academy existed long before FFP was even created, what are u talking about? For Lampard, it's true, that year he had to do without bringin in players, but he could have done with the first team he had, he wasn't required to play academy players, or not that many at least. They couldn't buy, but they still had a strong squad. And I don't like Chelsea, I'm not trying to defend them, but it's simply the truth. Their academy works brilliantly. Was it made only to make money from the start when it was developped in the 2000's? I don't know. But it worked both in making money and in bringing young talent in the team. I wish Liverpool had a stronger academy. Of course the Liverpool area has nowhere near the amount of raw talent that greater London has, but I think we can still do better than that, at least in bringing players around 13 to 16 from elsewhere, so they're Liverpool formed and ingrained in the Liverpool system from a young age. At least Klopp loves giving their chance to young players, TAA is the ultimate success of that, and Curtis Jones is proving to be another good example.
Any prospect of note is not going to want to travel daily to Liverpool any kid from Greater Manchester Yorkshire will just sign with city united Leeds etc London you can get one side of London to the other within an hour.
Say what you want about Chelsea's transfer dealings but, in a world where football clubs are making money from NFTs, profiting off of developing the next generation of footballers is honest dollar.

To all you lot saying Chelsea academy beats La Masia in terms of quantity of output, that's not really the case lads. There's of course the top level graduates like Baldé, Gavi, Fati, Kubo and now Yamal, but also a lot of average LaLiga players like Nico, Eric Garcia, De La Fuente, Sergi Gomez, Mingueza, Cucurella, Rafa Mir, Carles Alena, Sanabria, Bellerin, Deulofeu and Rafinha etc. have come through their ranks Since they're currently forced to give the youth a chance, the number of solid graduates will only increase for the foreseeable future. Actually I'd argue the Chelsea academy beats La Masia in quality of output looking at players like Tomori, James, Guehi or Christensen (and also Mason Mount cause he's really good and you've just forgotten about it)
Reece james, Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Loftus Cheek, Gilmour, Christensen, have all already won the champions league, Supercup, CwC before age 26! And all played against Europes Elite. Reece is now Captain, Mount is United, Loftus & Tomori in Milan, Christensen at Barca, Tammy at Roma and won the Conference league.

@@kaypakaipa8559 idk the last player tthat came through La Masia and was/is actually world class is probably Busquets. Sure the current talents could become that, but as of now the Chelsea graduates from recent years are higher quality

3:48 "Little success"???????? He got Top 4 WITHOUT; - spending a penny - Hazard, who was just sold - Kante, who was injured all season - Rudiger, who was injured most of the season. All the while having to put up with Kepa in goal! 🤡 Lampard deserves more respect.
"If it's a well oiled machine that they find out about, they don't hang around" said some guy who used to work for them. Great. Nice to get a clear, timely, unbiased opinion
Those saying "La Masia" better, there is absolutely no doubt about that fact from a pure talent standpoint. The difference is in the financials. Because of how mammoth an organization Barcelona is, they are usually not a selling club, while the same can't be held true for small clubs like Chelsea, Ajax, and Benfica.
Imagine Barcelona fans calling other small while their club is broke af 🤡 Btw Chelsea spent more this season than Barca in 5 years.. Have some shame brokelona fan
The problem is it's very poor from a decision making standpoint. They sell unbelievable players cheaply and buy much worse players to replace them. Rice, Salah, De Bruyne are examples of elite talent that were let go and none of the players Chelsea actually bought were close to this level!!!
Salah and De Bruyne did not come from their academy, they were specifically mistakes made by Mourinho. De Bruyne in particular was an unmissable talent Chelsea fans were screaming at Mourinho not to sell.
Rice is a great talent but I will argue that the current Chelsea midfield is any less talent than Rice. Chelsea current midfield is so packed with top talents. If winning the league/cup is only determined by the quality of players. Then maybe Chelsea will be the first favourite right now.
But selling those two gave Chelsea the funds to buy Cesc and Costa, Salah and KDB actually needed a lot of time and patience to properly develop and Chelsea won the league cus of the money made from those sales @@Artoo64
@@Artoo64debruyne was still young and perform poorly when given chance. Also he didn't want to fight for the place of prime Oscar, Mata, Schurle and Willian. Mourinho also bought Salah, the board sold him

Super frank always contribute in the long term of the club .As a player,,, wow super 8, as a coach first time , he gave the youth academy players the experience of playing in the premier league throughout the season and the youth players of that season are currently playing for big clubs around Europe and built the foundation for Thomas Tuchel to win the champions league that season. The second time as a manager he came back when no manager was available . Its time for redemption for Frank Lampard . Bring him back . The players will respond to him better than Poch.
He is a coach with young players development mindset, but his tactic is nothing particular than the usual attacking-minded play with 4-3-3 formation that could've been uncreative hadn't they bought Pulisic.
Funny cause our best striker since Costa came from the academy and then we sold him. Not saying Tammy Abraham is world class but he's better than the absolute dross we've had in the last 6 years and scored 17 goals in his first season for Chelsea. I'd cry from happiness if Jackson hit half as many this season.
@@pingusbabyyy451 Bro scored the worst ever hatrick in Prem history. Half of his goals were basically charity from Spurs. And that was after he misses half a dozen chances in that game. I agree that he's getting better but he's still a poor finisher by trait, only scores 1 out of every 4 or 5 chances and is way below his xG. I still think we need to go and sign Toney in January and have Jackson be the backup whilst he develops his game.
@@areebsiddiqui758 hard disagree on toney and on the hat trick being bad? everyone has been saying that but the 3rd goal was actually really good against the most in form gk in the league. also when its haaland or ronaldo its "true strikers goal" and when its jackson or anyone else its "tapin! anyone couldve done it!" so cringe
Which world class player have they produced? Like Ballon Dor winners or Kopa Trophy or Golden Boys etc. They produced normal players players, not world class
the clip provide great analysis but to say in the title Chelsea academy is the best in the world!! That stupid … Barcelona academy without doubt is the best ,produced the best player in history of the game , World Cup/EURO winners for the Spanish team and still produce wonder kids
what about Benfica? Félix, Bernardo silva, Ruben dias, Ederson... just to name a few players: all excelent players, some with high transfer fees for Benfica
In the World?? Naah, Barcelona is still a big player you'll be surprised just how many players came from La Masia...You probably didn't know Onana, Grimaldo, Sergi Gomez now at Man City, Dani Olmo, Todibo just to name a few were all at La Masia at some point. Not to mention Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Ansu Fati, Balde, Lamine Yamal probably the brightest teenager right now and Araujo are all Top Players or highly rated players who came from La Masia and the Spanish ones will have an impact on how Spain fairs in the next 5 years like Spain's success has a direct link to La Masia they won their first trophy (Nations League) in years right after Barcelona started producing once again.
clearly they dont , most of their players are barely the caliber of a united strugglies like martial and i doubt they are even the level of greenwood or rashford . maybe they are good with quantity but certainly not quality or else they wouldnt spend 300 millions twice in like 3 years
@@AintNoWaye Yeah and it makes him a reject you imbecile as Chelsea dint give regular gametime nor thought he is capable. A club will keep a player if think he is good especially when you living in alpha city like London it becomes much easy
Sorry Tifo but .. I would disagree, if they have the best academy, they should promote those players in their first team instead of careless spending on transfer market and other er clubs poach them.
Selling them are good for business as they are seen as 'real' profit. So they don't need transfer fees and such being paid off. Seems like they prioritise selling to buy back on the market to balance the books
That was true back then for some names but now under Boehly I think they got most things right. The players they bought were real top talents and they know to give pathways to academy with great talents like Colwil, Gallagher and James.
Cucurella, Caicedo and Sanchez. I don't think just 3 players are gonna be blocking out too many players from Cobham. You can't rely only on the academy. No club that wants to compete for titles does that because it's completely unrealistic to expect a 100% hit rate on every kid being world class. The academy will produce some players like Levi, Conor, Reece, Trev etc but they will also have to buy players when the academy hasn't got say a world class striker or goalkeeper left in it.
People bringing up La Masia, as if their recent products are populating the first teams of the top teams in leagues across the world (Cobham graduates can be seen at Arsenal, Barca, Man City, AC Milan, Bayern, Man Utd etc.). There is no comparison in the modern era. Chelsea has built a machine, La Masia is a cute craft workshop by comparison.
How many of the players in the first team are actually academy products? Maybe they're a profitable academy, but it sure doesn't lead to first team success. If the academy is as good as claimed, why did they go out and buy a bunch of young prospects instead of promoting them from the academy? How many goals, assists, or even just minutes does the academy get in the first team compared to other teams? Reece James plays maybe 1/3 of the games each year due to injury, so he's not exactly the greatest example.
our best players of this decade (aka the last 3 years) were mount, reece james and thiago silva... yet our new ownership prefers to burn hundreds of millions for overrated and overpaid kids like enzo, mudryk or caicedo. it makes me sad
@M_Sp_ When someone says anything is the best at something, you automatically bring everything else in the conversation. You can't say Messi is the best, without CR7 fans come out of the woodworks, and vice versa.
Barcelona is broke so they have to aggressively use La Másia to source talent instead of spending the big bucks on proven talent. This creates the illusion that they are the best in the world when they in fact, they have no choice but to be the ‘best’. Needless to say, La Fábrica is best in Europe.⚪️
They did not reject Musiala. They developed and wanted to keep him, but he chose to sign a pro contract with Bayern instead, because he wanted to move back to Germany. Re Mbappe, players develop at different rates. Good scouts miss future talents all the time.
From a financial point of view, but join Chelsea at your own risk, many promising careers have died early because of moves to Chelsea. Their youth policy verges on human trafficking. You have judged success purely on finances, ignoring many other factors.

There's of course the top level graduates like Baldé, Gavi, Fati, Kubo and now Yamal, but also a lot of average LaLiga players like Nico, Eric Garcia, De La Fuente, Sergi Gomez, Mingueza, Cucurella, Rafa Mir, Carles Alena, Sanabria, Bellerin, Deulofeu and Rafinha etc. have come through their ranks
Since they're currently forced to give the youth a chance, the number of solid graduates will only increase for the foreseeable future.
Actually I'd argue the Chelsea academy beats La Masia in quality of output looking at players like Tomori, James, Guehi or Christensen (and also Mason Mount cause he's really good and you've just forgotten about it)
Reece james, Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Loftus Cheek, Gilmour, Christensen,
have all already won the champions league, Supercup, CwC before age 26! And all played against
Europes Elite. Reece is now Captain, Mount is United, Loftus & Tomori in Milan, Christensen at Barca,
Tammy at Roma and won the Conference league. Its quite impresive, though listen
CHelsea is not on the same level as Barca lol, LaMasia is a different beast
@@kaypakaipa8559 idk the last player tthat came through La Masia and was/is actually world class is probably Busquets. Sure the current talents could become that, but as of now the Chelsea graduates from recent years are higher quality
Better academy than Barcelona? I don’t think so
Better? Maybe not
Better at making money? Absolutely
Not in direct top talent comparisons but by sheer number of players who are good enough to play in top leagues.
@@LeafyPeachat this moment yes...chelsea have produced better players from the academy than Barcelona.
Barca might have had higher quality, but overall output Chelsea's better. Whole Europe filled with Chelsea's graduates. Even Barca has one!
@@hnaku8748 even the higher quality, its not true...Pedri is up there with musiala.the rest are all the same
What about Barcelona's La Masia?
As much as people give us grief for giving away players, the business has been beneficial
Might be the most profitable but definitely not the best. Barcelona's is definitely better and Benfica's also might be.
Nope
@@samhuggins2656fym nope
Barcelona no
@@poptraxx418 No? Just this year they popped at least 2 out: Yamal and Fermín. They have Gavi, Balde and Pedri also on their first team. Messi, Busquets, Alba, Ansu Fati, Dani Olmo, Pedro, Icardi, Adama Traore, Giovani dos Santos, Onana, Kubo, all still playing and come from La Masia. Not accounting for many world class retired players like Guardiola, Xavi, Iniesta, Arteta, Fabregas, Valdés, Puyol, etc etc etc .

He got Top 4 WITHOUT;

- Rudiger, who was injured most of the season.
All the while having to put up with Kepa in goal! 🤡
Lampard deserves more respect.
La Masia would like to have a word with you
90s is over kid
"If it's a well oiled machine that they find out about, they don't hang around" said some guy who used to work for them. Great. Nice to get a clear, timely, unbiased opinion
Dislike for the title, PSG and Barca definetely produce more world class players
Those saying "La Masia" better, there is absolutely no doubt about that fact from a pure talent standpoint. The difference is in the financials.
Because of how mammoth an organization Barcelona is, they are usually not a selling club, while the same can't be held true for small clubs like Chelsea, Ajax, and Benfica.
@@ManCity_Guardiola Title says "in the world" though.
So if we're seeing academies through the lens of the revenue generated then Benfica is best.
@@qriousitybug”small clubs like Chelsea …”. Nice 😂😂😂
agreed
Imagine Barcelona fans calling other small while their club is broke af 🤡
Btw Chelsea spent more this season than Barca in 5 years..
Have some shame brokelona fan
The problem is it's very poor from a decision making standpoint. They sell unbelievable players cheaply and buy much worse players to replace them. Rice, Salah, De Bruyne are examples of elite talent that were let go and none of the players Chelsea actually bought were close to this level!!!
Salah and De Bruyne did not come from their academy, they were specifically mistakes made by Mourinho. De Bruyne in particular was an unmissable talent Chelsea fans were screaming at Mourinho not to sell.
Rice is a great talent but I will argue that the current Chelsea midfield is any less talent than Rice. Chelsea current midfield is so packed with top talents.
If winning the league/cup is only determined by the quality of players. Then maybe Chelsea will be the first favourite right now.
But selling those two gave Chelsea the funds to buy Cesc and Costa, Salah and KDB actually needed a lot of time and patience to properly develop and Chelsea won the league cus of the money made from those sales @@Artoo64
Boy we let go of rice when he was 13/14. Silly to add rice tbh.
@@Artoo64debruyne was still young and perform poorly when given chance. Also he didn't want to fight for the place of prime Oscar, Mata, Schurle and Willian.
Mourinho also bought Salah, the board sold him
Says "best academy in the world" and then proceeds to only compare with EPL clubs
Shear numbers ! More in , more out !
La Masia clears them, especially recently
No lol
Reported for misinformation
I always had a question about that. Chelsea's youth squad is phenomenal, yet it's not reflected in their first-team squad.
It did in 2019-2021 technically speaking. They even won UCL during that period.
As a chelsea fan, it is La Masia
Please sort your audio out, on decent headphones, a very high pitch noise is audible at times
3:50, Correction, it delivered little silverware, not success in total.
Chelsea are the worst club when it comes to developing their players.
De Bruyne developed at Wofsburg before peaking at Man City
Salah developed at Roma before peaking at Liverpool
Ake developed at Bournemouth before peaking at Man City
Lukaku developed at Everton before peaking at Inter Milan
Plus, many more.
Mohamed Salah played for Arab Contractors in Egyptian Premier League before moving to Europe. He was not developed at Roma
Really hard to sell me on the idea that they’re better than La Masia.
Mad that Man Utd are considered the second most "productive academy" but don't even feature in the top 7 most profitable academies! 🤯
that's painful
because they hold onto prospects for too long and dont give them game time at the proper level, then sell them only once they're broken toys.
Pochettino used to give chances to academy players in Tottenham. Kane, Modric, Walker and he turned them into stars to this day.
Modric was bought from Dynamo Zagreb after Euro 08 hardly a spurs academy player
No mention of a transfer ban for literally breaking the rules around young players? Eg bribing parents/family of players
Yea, cos literally no other club in world football does this 🥱
is that why only chelsea got a transfer ban?@@timmills8521
@@timmills8521then why did chelsea get a ban and not all the other clubs you are talking about? 😂

Sell talented academy player.
Replace with less talented big money buy from aboard.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
E.g.
Sell Chalobah. Buy Bakayoko
Sell Guehi. Buy Diasi
Sell Abraham. Buy Jackson
Sell Hudson Odi. Buy Mudryk.
Sell Hall. Buy Cucurella.
Sell Tomori. Buy Badiashille.
Sell Mount. Buy Ugochukwou
Exactly makes no sense.
Hall is better than Cucurella, I'd even say better going forward than Chilwell.
Hate it that they sold him
Different timeline, only cucurela and bakayoko was right
so tell me what chalobah, abraham, odoi, hall and mount have done since leaving?
you named a bunch of trash players lmfao. The only L from them is Livramento for Gusto
Absolutely spot on this!
Ever heard of la masia?
😂😂 no they don't it's Sporting Clube de Portugal. The only club in the world to produce 2 fifa ballon dor. And more...
4:27 does Crewe Alexandra have good youth team?
About time people put some respect on Cobham! what a academy!
La masia still better
Then not now
Chelsea produce way more top players in terms of sheer quantity these days. La Masia will put out the odd wonderkid every now and then.
90's is over
Super frank always contribute in the long term of the club .As a player,,, wow super 8, as a coach first time , he gave the youth academy players the experience of playing in the premier league throughout the season and the youth players of that season are currently playing for big clubs around Europe and built the foundation for Thomas Tuchel to win the champions league that season. The second time as a manager he came back when no manager was available . Its time for redemption for Frank Lampard . Bring him back . The players will respond to him better than Poch.
Better youth coach than manager
He is a coach with young players development mindset, but his tactic is nothing particular than the usual attacking-minded play with 4-3-3 formation that could've been uncreative hadn't they bought Pulisic.
The only thing they don't learn is how to put a ball in the net😂
Arsenal disagrees
Funny cause our best striker since Costa came from the academy and then we sold him. Not saying Tammy Abraham is world class but he's better than the absolute dross we've had in the last 6 years and scored 17 goals in his first season for Chelsea. I'd cry from happiness if Jackson hit half as many this season.
@@areebsiddiqui758 hes got 6 in 11 and getting better with every game?
@@pingusbabyyy451 Bro scored the worst ever hatrick in Prem history. Half of his goals were basically charity from Spurs. And that was after he misses half a dozen chances in that game.
I agree that he's getting better but he's still a poor finisher by trait, only scores 1 out of every 4 or 5 chances and is way below his xG. I still think we need to go and sign Toney in January and have Jackson be the backup whilst he develops his game.
@@areebsiddiqui758 hard disagree on toney and on the hat trick being bad? everyone has been saying that but the 3rd goal was actually really good against the most in form gk in the league. also when its haaland or ronaldo its "true strikers goal" and when its jackson or anyone else its "tapin! anyone couldve done it!" so cringe
Thanks for your coverage.. ktbbff!
west ham might not have a good team right now, but we have made alot of great players, and we are making a lot more
Which world class player have they produced? Like Ballon Dor winners or Kopa Trophy or Golden Boys etc. They produced normal players players, not world class
the clip provide great analysis but to say in the title Chelsea academy is the best in the world!! That stupid … Barcelona academy without doubt is the best ,produced the best player in history of the game , World Cup/EURO winners for the Spanish team and still produce wonder kids
Why does everyone refer to Boehly as the Owner? He's not. He's the face of an investment group.
I’m a chelsea fan no we don’t Barca’s us better ours is pretty gd tho.
Woah, Crewe were ahead of Liverpool? Where's the video on that!!
The only people that have issues with these setups are the ones with no money, no drive and no vision.
what about Benfica? Félix, Bernardo silva, Ruben dias, Ederson... just to name a few players: all excelent players, some with high transfer fees for Benfica
In the World?? Naah, Barcelona is still a big player you'll be surprised just how many players came from La Masia...You probably didn't know Onana, Grimaldo, Sergi Gomez now at Man City, Dani Olmo, Todibo just to name a few were all at La Masia at some point.
Not to mention Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Ansu Fati, Balde, Lamine Yamal probably the brightest teenager right now and Araujo are all Top Players or highly rated players who came from La Masia and the Spanish ones will have an impact on how Spain fairs in the next 5 years like Spain's success has a direct link to La Masia they won their first trophy (Nations League) in years right after Barcelona started producing once again.
Wait wasn't sarri the one who gave cho and ampadu debut?
I doubt the academy works as smoothly nowadays as it did under Roman
clearly they dont , most of their players are barely the caliber of a united strugglies like martial and i doubt they are even the level of greenwood or rashford . maybe they are good with quantity but certainly not quality or else they wouldnt spend 300 millions twice in like 3 years
Better than la masia?
No
Easily
La Masia would like a word
Even Musiala is Chelsea academy reject and I would say he is top 5 mids right now
hes not a reject clown lmao he left out of his own accord to live in germany
@@AintNoWaye Yeah and it makes him a reject you imbecile as Chelsea dint give regular gametime nor thought he is capable. A club will keep a player if think he is good especially when you living in alpha city like London it becomes much easy
Sorry Tifo but .. I would disagree, if they have the best academy, they should promote those players in their first team instead of careless spending on transfer market and other er clubs poach them.
Selling them are good for business as they are seen as 'real' profit. So they don't need transfer fees and such being paid off.
Seems like they prioritise selling to buy back on the market to balance the books
That was true back then for some names but now under Boehly I think they got most things right. The players they bought were real top talents and they know to give pathways to academy with great talents like Colwil, Gallagher and James.
It's laughable that such a large youth academy barely creates remarkably talented player's in comparison to other academy's.
*buys players from brighton anyways*
Yeah. But all of those players are foreign players. Not from London. So we couldn't get them until they got a bit older.
Cucurella, Caicedo and Sanchez. I don't think just 3 players are gonna be blocking out too many players from Cobham. You can't rely only on the academy. No club that wants to compete for titles does that because it's completely unrealistic to expect a 100% hit rate on every kid being world class. The academy will produce some players like Levi, Conor, Reece, Trev etc but they will also have to buy players when the academy hasn't got say a world class striker or goalkeeper left in it.
brighton also took two of our acadmey players what happend to theirs
Benfica have to have a shout or? They've produced some incredible young talent over the years
People bringing up La Masia, as if their recent products are populating the first teams of the top teams in leagues across the world (Cobham graduates can be seen at Arsenal, Barca, Man City, AC Milan, Bayern, Man Utd etc.). There is no comparison in the modern era. Chelsea has built a machine, La Masia is a cute craft workshop by comparison.
How many of the players in the first team are actually academy products? Maybe they're a profitable academy, but it sure doesn't lead to first team success. If the academy is as good as claimed, why did they go out and buy a bunch of young prospects instead of promoting them from the academy? How many goals, assists, or even just minutes does the academy get in the first team compared to other teams? Reece James plays maybe 1/3 of the games each year due to injury, so he's not exactly the greatest example.
our best players of this decade (aka the last 3 years) were mount, reece james and thiago silva...
yet our new ownership prefers to burn hundreds of millions for overrated and overpaid kids like enzo, mudryk or caicedo.
it makes me sad
those three are actually good.
@@shadow_realm47 once every 10 games
Do we eve train goal keepers in the academy?
As a Charlton fan, we're well aware of how Chelsea like to take and coming talents from smaller club's academies... :)
Exactly.... Chelsea make pro footballers yes burlt no real first team pathway ..
You should know why they promoted all those youth players in the first place
It is one thing for academy to play in first team, it is another for them to he sold...
Nothing is remotely close to la masia of barcelona, they have produced world class players throughout the years
La Másia is unmatched, it's infact another football team of its own
Barcelona fanboys bringin themselves into the discussion, even though it's about Chelsea and nobody asked or is interested here in Barcelona...
So because the video is about Chelsea, he can't speak about anything else as if you pay for his internet? Lol, Chelsea fans, man. @@M_Sp_
@M_Sp_ When someone says anything is the best at something, you automatically bring everything else in the conversation. You can't say Messi is the best, without CR7 fans come out of the woodworks, and vice versa.
Barcelona is broke so they have to aggressively use La Másia to source talent instead of spending the big bucks on proven talent. This creates the illusion that they are the best in the world when they in fact, they have no choice but to be the ‘best’.
Needless to say, La Fábrica is best in Europe.⚪️
wake up buddy. its not 2005 anymore
Tifo logic - I'll show you why Chelsea have the best youth academy in the world by comparing it to English teams only. Flawless logic.
If we have such a great academy, why spend so much on buying players that also just have potential but from other countries
La Masia exists
It did in the 90s
About time someone said it. Though we are not able to make anything out of it
limited review IMO. What about the kids left by the wayside?
But how come they rejected Mbappe and Musiala?
They did not reject Musiala. They developed and wanted to keep him, but he chose to sign a pro contract with Bayern instead, because he wanted to move back to Germany. Re Mbappe, players develop at different rates. Good scouts miss future talents all the time.
Roman build this while an American destroy it
La masia clear
Blud forgot la masia
Video title says best in the world. To them the world is premier league
It ain't better than La Masia
So Cobham is London La Masia?
They also built city & liverpool by giving them kdb and salah 😂
They have a good youth system, yet they still spent over £1.3 billion buying players in just 18months.
They're not even half as good as Barca
Come on you blues 💙 💪
BILLION SPENT
Is it good if you end up selling your academy players
From a financial point of view, but join Chelsea at your own risk, many promising careers have died early because of moves to Chelsea. Their youth policy verges on human trafficking. You have judged success purely on finances, ignoring many other factors.
🤣🤣
LA MASIA LITERALLY PRODUCED THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD
Please same video with LA MASIA from FC Barcelona, it would be amazing. Thanks!
