That's right. That beach lifestyle in Dortmund is a big pull.
I said Spain is possibly a place players go in their prime. Bale, Ronaldo, Hazard, Modric all left to play in Spain when they were in their peak/prime and not their teens (younger years).
The German league is generally where a lot of talented youngsters go to develop.
Fair enough mate, Gittens and Matondo wouldn't sign deals, and Frimpong is nowhere near our level but too be fair neither are Gittens or Matondo. Braaf has moved also and is hardly ripping trees up.Jamie Bynoe-Gittens left us for Dortmund.
Rabbi Matondo left us to play for Schalke (didn't quite work out).
Jeremie Frimpong currently playing for Leverkusen and doing well.
It just seems more and more young players are tempted by a move to Germany for more game time.
I know what you mean though, the media are forcing the narrative, particularly with David Silva and Aguero.
I just think Bellingham will move to the premier league next season. He might never play for Madrid, but I think the sensible option would be to come to England first, develop here in your younger years and then if the option is still available, go and play abroad.
No top player will come near us with this hanging over usBe lucky to get delli alli, and Jesse lingaard never made Bellingham at this rate.
Yes this is my fear too, aside from the allegations of course. I feel it is unrealistic to think it won't impact on a players decision what club he should join.No top player will come near us with this hanging over us
