Another one I think got massively overhyped because he looked good on his debut. The chelsea player Hector actually played a decent amount at Frankfurt this season so I do think he will get games.

More English players should go abroad Not just football players that would benefit from time abroad whilst young, I think most young people should try it. I spent a year in Sweden whilst at uni, saw another culture and way of life and made life long friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Ian Rush say "it was like living in a foreign country" and he didn't like the food. About living in Italy. Didn't like the food. In Italy.

More English players should go abroad One of the strongest current English midfielders Eric Dier grew up in Portugal and even stayed at Sporting Lisbon's academy after his family moved back to the UK.

sne Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Robbie Keane went on to have a pretty good career even thou he was a flop at Inter. Think he learned a lot during that short stint. And he got to play alongside Pirlo, Seedorf, Recoba, Di Biagio, Ronaldo, Vieri, Zamorano, Sukur, Jugovic, Blanc, Zanetti... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 More British players should play abroad rather than sticking around here in the "best league in the world". The England team will benefit greatly from it as well. As long as Oxford knuckles down and doesn't get homesick it could he a fantastic move for him. In fact, more young players should do it for the good of their careers, rather than looking to cash out on the first professional contract and never live up to the 'hype'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of me always felt he was only sold to juve as some kind of apology for heysel. The transfer didnt seem to make any sense otherwise; not to me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
