Like I warned you before you wasted a chunk of your life typing all that - Im not interested in discussing imperialism with you - everyone knows all of that, and nobody is arguing otherwise. Not sure of the relevance to your claim that 4 players born within the Kingdom of the Netherlands had...

I’m not going to debate the wrongs of imperialism with you. irrespective of the background to it, Suriname until the mid 70s was not simply part of the Dutch Empire - it was literally a constituent part of The Kingdom of the Netherlands. The players that you claimed had ‘no connection to the...

some good niche knowledge in your whole post - but some real lack of geopolitical history in this part! Klose is Silesian. The town and region where he was from was German until just two years before Klose’s father was born.quite a stretch to suggest he / his family have ‘no connection’ with...

I’d definitely take Omobamidele. Top player. Randomly, I spent a few nights in Leixlip two weeks ago. It was the closest place to where I was working, that I could get a hotel for less than a million euros. Tiny place - did well to produce Omobamidele AND Nathan Collins. Must be a little...

Yes. Ales Mateju is there too.

I think he still has a chance, if he knuckles down and puts his antics behind him. Who hasn’t done a fusilli things as a youngster?

Downward spirali

He hasn't been.

Correct. He made just two sub appearances for Luton, playing a total of 24 minutes. Which was enough for one of the posters on the Boro site to claim that "he was talking to Luton fans who said they'd had him on loan, and he was crap'.

I agree with the rest of your post, but I'm actually not convinced this is completely true (ie of ALL Albion fans). Everyone is frustrated at his lack of progression. Some are fed up of the lad. A few do seem genuinely to revel in his perceived failures. Which is a shame for all concerned.

Excellent post this. Swansman take note

I'd argue that there are a couple more factors than that. Natural aptitude (body co-ordination, hand-eye co-ordination, balance, memory skills, ability to learn) coupled with physiology (height, body shape, speed), actually set that min / max window. A lad whose final height is 5'7" is never...

I think that’s unfair, and wrong thinking tbh. In terms of the likelihood of him focusing on the right things, surely it’s better that he has his girlfriend with him, than he’s out on the pull / lash every night.
