Though if they could have kept KDB, they'd have an asset worth more (in this mental transfer market) than the profit they have made and a top class player for their first XI. They maybe need to strike more of a balance between profiting from the also-rans and giving players a chance to show their true worth.
It's still a good move on their part overall.

I'd be interested to see how much that lot cost them to buy... the ROI is the proof of the effectiveness of the business model

But often Chelsea players are on ridiculously high wages for their status in the game so I suspect Chelsea will be paying part of the wages quite often.
Not only the stockpiling, but distorting the game. Loanees can play against everyone except the parent club, so the parent club gains a competitive advantage.

We might not be active participants but we would be mad to let the other “top 6” clubs get a bigger share than us
Lionel Messi's 'signing bonus' for staying at Barcelona could be as high as a record-breaking £80million and the club hope to have a naming-rights sponsor for the Nou Camp as early as next season to help them pay for it.
It is normal for clubs to add a signing-on fee or a renewal bonus in contracts but Messi's – estimated to be between £79m and £85m – is believed to be the highest ever.
In a special report in Catalan paper L'Ara this week it was claimed Barcelona's wage bill as a percentage of overall revenue is now at 84 per cent, up to £430m, although Messi's contract sweetener is not included in that figure because it's a bonus payment spread across the years of his new deal and not paid as part of his wage.

There was a chap on talksport on Tuesday who's made a documentary called 'No hunger in paradise' which looks at the money involved in academy football.
He said a 9 year old was getting £24k a year to be at the academy and a 13 year old was guaranteed a contract at 17 for £45k a week.
He mentioned how rare Tottenhams model was.
Going to be shown in January on bt sport.
The money is crazy and obviously is detrimental to the children's attitude and drive to make it.
As a parent it's hard as there is such a small chance of your child making it as a professional but the money being offered is life changing but probably reduces their chance if making it too.

Welcome to the 21st edition of the Deloitte Football Money League in which we profile the highest revenue generating clubs in world football.
Manchester United retained top spot for a second consecutive year, generating total revenue of €676m (£581m). This year’s battle for first place was the closest in Money League history, just €1.7m (£1.5m) separated Manchester United and second place Real Madrid
The English Premier League has ten teams in the top 20 this year, the highest ever from one country, with Southampton (18th) making their debut in the Money League top 20, Emirates Marketing Project consolidating their place in the top five, and Leicester City rising to 14th, from 20th last year.
