vicky-27 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If he is that good - how come he ended up at Southend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Same reason some players end up at Hull City Reserves, not everyone can play for the top 4 m'lady and managers have been wrong judging players when they were young before. Be interesting to see if he will make it, not every player in the development team will be good enough to go on and play for the first team.
