Unfortunately top 10 english teams talk a good game but their development track record is poor relative to the bundesliga these days. Tottenham will be happy with a buy-back clause should they want him back after they sell him. There will be this loan, lots of promises, then another loan in 2018. At which time he should AVOID england with the goal of coming back at age 26 or so.
I don’t know why anyone sends their talent to England or Scotland to play. Neither country is known for youth development and that is why I DON’T UNDERSTAND, so many English coaches are here in the US working with the youth…HELLO!, this is simply UNBELIEVABLE. As far as youth development goes, I know Bayern’s hasn’t a player come up through the ranks other than Alaba. In other words, nothing in the past 6 years. Bayern has just announced a whole new training complex for youth development …so we’ll see. And Barcelona has become a joke as far as youth coming through the system to play on the first team. Barcelona seems to be looking to buy and sell, these.

Frankie – this dude is playing for the US but he’s English. Born and raised there. So he wasn’t “sent” anywhere.
