And so it begins. Jann-Fiet Arp, Germany u18s prolific German u18s striker who featured at the Euros and World Cup has started 3 games for Hamburg and scored 2 goals and there are already rerports of people chasing him. No doubt he'll have his own thread in the transfer forum. The one player from our age group who just won the World Cup, with the most top flight experience atm, is Sancho currently in Germany.
This is where we normally see the paths of the players completely differ. Our u17s have beaten Germany twice once when Arp wasn't playing and we won 8-1 with our own Lyons-Foster in the side, and once we beat them 3-2 when Arp did play and we had TOB, Kirby and Eyoma in the side.
Now begins the process of tracking where the German players end up compared to teh English players. A week on and all the hype has died down and I believe things will resume as normal and nothing will change. Hopefully as many get out of the PL as possible and start getting first team experience. I wonder how long until any of Skipp, TOB, Eyoma, Lyons-Foster, Griffiths and Hinds see the PL if any do make it that far.
