The lad had the talent to be one of the best. Strange how he just disappeared.

Not strange tbh.

When he was here and posting on social media, there was something that felt off about him, lacking humility. I believe Dinho was even put off by him in training when he had chances to go up.

Whereas someone like Bobb has virtually no social media presence, and by all accounts, like Rico, is extremely humble, and respectful to learn and grow.

These type of players in our academy are basically guaranteed to play in top league because they have talent + hard work.

Was it Braaf who allegedly refused to pick up the training balls because he thought he was too important for that?

With hindsight his list of clubs and how short a period he's spent there is telling for someone still so young.

Yep and then kicked off at Ferna who tried to set him right
Bombed back down to the EDS due to his attitude and his career has been on a downward spiral ever since

Sadly some of these " promising players " lack the common sense or self awareness , and want it all before they have done anything of note.

If they have agents, then they are being failed probably due to greed , you would hope that they try to influence anf guide them correctly.

Clearly Braaf has not listened or is just too conceited to understand the pitfalls.

Wonder why he is so keen on that set-up, Leicester isn't that far away ?

Simply the fact they're in the premier league and not the championship I'd imagine. You'd rather play at the higher level and he backs himself to do so. We obviously wanted him to play under a similar style to us, and at a club we could be confident he'd make more appearances. I'm still not sure where I am with McAtee. He was excellent at academy level, a real step above. But his skillset was one where I thought he might struggle at first team level. He had a really good loan last season in terms of experience but didn't look much better for it in pre-season sadly.

Hopefully he has a good season and can come back and be a part of things, but he's probably more likely to leave as well now. You're not going to get many players who, like Foden, are willing to take their time and wait for chances. Not when they see other young players going for millions and signing big contracts with huge wages.
