Absolutely - yes, all academies accept that not all output will end up as regular 1st team players at Spurs, but are still very good footballers and should go on to have good careers elsewhere, whether in lower divisions to start with or smaller EPL teams. This I think has been the Spurs objective for many years, with the training facilities and the really good youth coaching set up we have.
Perhaps not quite on par with Man Utd or Southampton's who seem to at present churn out brilliant young talent regularly, but certainly up there.
Yes and I don't know the exact running costs but I would imagine that we may already be close to making the money back in the sales of Caulker and Livermore.
Also, we have better players than both Southampton and Man Utd.
