Sadly, I have long ago concluded that it is not in the best interest of young players to Join top clubs.
Ours included. Barker's disadvantage was that he didn't have a midtable club with less talent at the experienced level that was willing to fast track young talent. Sane had that and will probably go farther because of it.
Unless you are Messi good as a youngster, you generally never get enough playing time at big clubs. I mean look at DeBryune. He probably would have ended up an average player if he had stayed at Chelsea and sat behind more experienced internationals.
It is a hard question really.
That's in-sane :)Just posted this on twitter rumours but felt it was better in the Sane thread... Dont know the source but seems to have alot of followers.....guess we'll find out soon if its true or not....

I've been told that it's Sane. We'll see.
That's in-sane :)
Barker is absolutely nowhere near the level required and will never be. He's heralded as some wonder kid on here yet I've never seen anything to suggest this.
Perhaps we'll get one of them too. Like I've been arguing for months, Winger is our weakest position.Not for me he's just a foreign version of Sterling much better out there and proven in PL such as Mane or Sanchez.
u should be a coachNot for me he's just a foreign version of Sterling much better out there and proven in PL such as Mane or Sanchez.
