I think it's better for him to find new club where he would play because he probably wont get much playing time with the u18's this season especially after Macheda came.
Dave was an excellent player for the U/16's and after watching him over the last two seasons would have walked into the U/18's ahead of Brandao and Macheda.........
So anyone suggesting he didn't have the ability is way off the mark......
not sure i agree he'd have walked into the side ahead of those two. even if he would have, if the coaches think Macheda/Brandao are the better long-term prospects then they have a duty to sacrifice any short-term gain for longer-term benefit.
