I rubbished at the time when I was told too Anyway, it might still be bullshit I bet though we still have eyes on him if we were so eager for him previous, think a lot of players are better off in Belgium and Holland before they come here, especially such young players
One of the coaches in a group chat I am in coaches out in Belgium. He says the standard out there is much higher than it gets credit for. Like you he thinks it is a great place for young players to develop their game.
I feel like most leagues are developing, they're arguably on par with Holland but with less star power.
I think you are right. The standards are good in a lot of places. There is a lot of alignment across Europe on coaching qualifications and standards. Acdemy setups are similar too. All leads to more talent finding its way through to the pro game with a core level of ability and know how.
I have a friend who works at Marchwood (their training ground) and tells me info. but it’s currently a maybe not for certain. They are worried, they want to spend but also don’t
Not quite sure why he signs for a relegated side, he has turned down moves before, he wants to be here
If Neil left...and went there, its a purely financial move. The lad has enough to get a move in the mid/upper level of the PL...
