From 2011 to 2015 Charlton Athletic had:

Nick Pope
Joe Gomez
Ezri Konsa
Karlan Grant
Ademola Lookman.

They sold them for a combined 16.5mil.

I& #39;d be surprised if you could buy the 5 of them right now for less than 10x that figure.
Lookman and Konsa have moved again since leaving for a combined 35mil.

Konsa& #39;s value will have gone way up since joining Villa. Easily a 35mil CB now IMO.

Lookman& #39;s probably a 15mil player right now

HTFC want 18mil for Grant.

Pope? Prob 45mil

Gomez? 60mil without doubt.
That& #39;s a roughly estimated 173mil for those 5.

Charlton had them all at the club for years.

They never played a game together.

Lookman, Grant, Gomez and Konsa all played in the academy together. All 1997 births.

Lookman and Konsa didn& #39;t make the first team til after Joe left
It& #39;s hard not to look at everything Charlton have been through and wonder what might have been. That club, and their fans, have been through the shit for the past 6 years.

The ownership of Roland Duchatelet almost ruined the club. Would recommend @GTKTheNetwork by @JimmyStone_.
It& #39;s a 4 part podcast series that was released a few years back. Listened to it at the time, have just finished listening to it again given they& #39;ve just been sold again. It& #39;s truly brilliant. Well researched, well presented.

Running length is about 3 - 3.5 hours in total.
When I hear high profile ex-pros cry about a handball rule "ruining the game" and see morons on here tweet that "the game& #39;s gone", I look at Bury, Macclesfield, Bolton, Wigan, Coventry and Charlton and wonder what the they& #39;re talking about.

Scumbag owners are ruining the game.
People seem to think it& #39;s only "small clubs" who have these major financial issues.

Charlton spent 8 yrs in the PL.

Coventry spent 9 yrs in the PL.

Bolton spent 13 yrs in the PL.

Wigan spent 8 yrs in the PL.

Barring the big 6 and a handful of others, could happen to anyone.
