Since 2005, Manchester United have made £35.05m in sales from our academy, with Rossi, Campbell, Richardson, Pique, Neville, Martin, Bardsley, Eagles, Shawcross, David Jones, Spector and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake all failing to make the grade but worth the money to other clubs. Once Danny Simpson is sold this summer and compensation for Eckersley agreed, that figure will be closer to £40m, and this is without including the money we got for Beckham a couple of years before.
Since 2005, you could say the sales from our youth team have funded the transfers of Evra, Vidic, Valencia, Park and Van der Sar, with money left over.
Since the class of '94, Wes Brown, Darren Fletcher and John O'Shea have made their way in to the first team, picking up close to 900 appearances between them. Whilst they're no David Beckham or Paul Scholes, you don't get hundreds of games for United if you're not quality, and if we had bought players of a similar quality, they would have cost us millions.
Whilst West Ham are in a league of their own when it comes to finding and developing quality players, if you compare United with the other clubs in the top four we're head and shoulders above them, even if you discount 'the kids' Hansen said would never win anything. Carragher, Gerrard, Terry and Owen came through in the 90s, before Ashley Cole came through the ranks at Arsenal, but other than that, they don't really have anything to write home about.
Arsenal may players who they claim come from the academy, but essentially, they were pinched from other teams' academies: Fabregas (Barca product), Clichy (Castelmaurou and Cannes) Gibbs (Wimbledon), Denilson (Sao Paulo), Ramsey (Cardiff) and Vela (Guadalajara). In fact, isn't Wilshere the only player they've produced themselves - and he has just six minutes of Premiership football to his name.
Of course, as well as producing our own, we also pinch players from other youth set-ups, like the da Silvas and Macheda, so to make the money stats fairer, if we are to look at United in the same way and discount the transfer fees of Pique and Rossi, we've still sold around £25m of our own talent over the past few seasons.
Next season, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, David Healy, Danny Higginbotham, Kieran Richardson, Chris Eagles, Richard Eckersley and David Jones are amongst the United youth products who will be playing Premiership football. How many former Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal youth players are in the Premiership next season?
So when it comes to producing talent for our own club, producing talent of Premiership standards and making money from the academy, United outshine the other clubs in the top four on all counts. And given our financial situation, it's good to know that the club have ways other than ripping off the fans to make the money!
