Jayden Braaf joins Borussia Dortmund on a permanent deal

Second this. Was a bit worried by your absence @Neville Kneville! Feared the worst with everything going on at the moment. Glad to see you're well and as blunt as ever :)

No problems mate, cheers ;)

What's your take on this lad, I only see the young players on screen nowardays but he looks supremely talented & extremely greedy to me.

Has he got a twitchy agent, or might he hang around for a while & wait for a chance ?

No worries, just glad you're well!

In terms of wingers, better than the last great hope Matondo (who I never thought reached that hype level of Sancho/Foden, but many really rated), but a tad below Sancho for me. Sancho was greedy, but always got the sense he had a really refined approach to the game that would feed well into professional football. Braaf is a bit more raw I think, but still very, very good and clearly has magic in his boots. It's hard to tell until we see him at a higher level, because he's simply faster than everyone else currently at youth level so its a bit too easy for him. I think he'll hang around for next season, but that'll be his last if he doesn't get a chance at some point. He needs testing already at a pro level.

Yes that's how I would describe him, like a faster but less refined version of Sancho. But that could actually be ideal, IF, he has a brain to learn how to play real football.

We obviously don't want to put too much on him at that age & burn him out/injure him, but we have to get him on the pitch next season, or it'll be another one gone.
 
Netherlands U21 playing right now, he wasn't called up.

Is it due to covid restrictions, or just not fancied by the national team?
