Football is a cruel place at times. I have a lad not that dissimilar to Memphis and I wonder how his family feel about some of the stuff written about him. He's young and which lad at his age won't want or have those things that are accessible to him. It's like someone on here winning the lottery and then being told how to spend the money. As people ever seen the car park of championship players? Anyone seen the car park of the under 21 players who haven't even kicked a football for the first team?
I don't understand the negativity that's aimed against him. Utd wanted him and gave him the 7 shirt based on an outstanding season. He was on the radar of lots of top teams. I don't get that rubbish about a lesser leagues as that's where 90% the players come from is a 'lesser league or team' somewhere. Where was Ronaldo playing before coming here?
I've worked with young people for 30 years with talent and those who get the best out of them, are those with the patience to understand the talent needs nurturing and the belief in the very reason they invested the money in the first place otherwise, we might as well buy players who are 26/27 which we buy a sell ever 3 years.
He may not be Utd quality but it's not his fault.....
