Top 20 European academies for producing Premier League talent revealed — Mirror Online

Sky Blue Pete · Jul 30, 2019

How cool is that. Is it Richard something or other that needs huge credit

SBAndy · Jul 30, 2019

And to think we all thought it was going to shit when Gregor Rioch left.

gspotgaz · Jul 30, 2019

This is actually amazing. Feel very proud of the club for this

Terry_dactyl · Jul 30, 2019

It’s certainly something to be celebrated. Despite, or perhaps because of, all the shit we’ve endured we’ve managed to create an identity as a club that produces and hones young talent. Often local talent too! Good work cov!

Wyken Sky Blue · Jul 30, 2019

Great news, well done CCFC Academy!

Nick · Jul 30, 2019

An amazing achievement really, above Arsenal!

Same

Really proud of our academy and what it is acheiving.

Also shows what a mess the PL is in terms of buying in players from abroad vs giving their own academy products a chance when 3 players is enough to get us into the top 20!

PurpleBin · Jul 30, 2019

Wow. Something we should be proud of! I wonder if this could help us attract youngsters if they are choosing between us and other local clubs?

Mad that list and then we pop up in it!

I was struggling to think of the 3rd player but it’s Christie. We’ll be dropping down the list next year then.

Robins out

Ahead of teams who are actually in the Premier League. Crazy really.

Well actually the jump in that league table is simply because one of his charges, Maddison, (together with Wilson and Christie) played regularly in the Prem last season. On that basis we will fall in this stat next year.

kg82 · Jul 30, 2019

Did Daniel Sturridge not count with us then?

Why will we fall?

Fulham got relegated so Christie isn't in the Prem.

true, but Maddison will likely play as much than last season & Wilson was injured a lot wasn't he, so will play more. Someone else mentioned Sturridge too. Injured a lot and set to play more this season maybe ? Not sure if there are any other city Academy signings that might come to the fore this season.... and any yet to sign from the current team too

BigadamL · Jul 30, 2019

Just need George Thomas to break into the first team :happy:

Johnnythespider · Jul 30, 2019

Does this mean we can add a couple of million to the asking price for any players coming through. Great achievement for all concerned.

covbromsgrove · Jul 30, 2019

Didn't Clichy come through our academy?

JimmyHillsbeard · Jul 30, 2019

robbiekeane said:

Because we will have two former academy players in the Prem not three.

Gotcha. Didn’t make the Fulham relegated link.

Huh?

SBchimp · Jul 30, 2019

Richard Stevens - Coventry City Football Club Academy Manager has been with the Academy for the last 12 years, arriving at the same time as Gregor Rioch. In the last 10 years there have been over 50 1st team debuts from home grown players.

Seriously impressive stats, we really do owe this man a great deal!!!

Nope, probably not. Was at Villa, then Coventry, then Man City, all as part of the respective academies.

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Jul 30, 2019

Great news for our academy. To think it was very close to being shut down as a waste of money until we sold Wilson...

CJ_covblaze · Jul 30, 2019

This is brilliant news. Guessing Che Adams will add a lot of minutes to the total next season too.

clint van damme · Jul 30, 2019

That is a quite astonishing achievement.

Lurking oil barons thinking of buying the club take note.

Surely he wouldn't count?

Won't they have to have come through the academy properly?

I think he did, just wasn't offered professional contract at 18 and went to the lower leagues.

It was 14 wasn't it?

Facebook oxygen thieves using this as a reason to have a go at the club.
