Has completed his transfer to Borussia Dortmund. This is another inditement on the PL, that a talented young player sees more opportunity abroad. He will be playing in a top european league with european football. Liverpool have given very little time to any of their young players unless it was in games they thought didnt matter. Man City have used Foden very sparingly. Chelsea have given youth a chance but only since Lampard came in. Leicester have used Harvey Barnes though not every game. Wolves import their players. Man Utd do have some young players playing regularly. Our stance is well known.

Dortmund are the most attractive club in the world to a young prospect like that; I don’t think it’s necessarily a slight on the Prem. Liverpool have won the league with Trent as a regular, Foden has racked up 35 apps in all comps, United have used Greenwood and Williams pretty regularly, Chelsea have a whole spine of academy kids in the first team. Arsenal have had Saka, Nelson and Nketiah quite heavily involved of late. Chilwell is a key player for Leicester, Barnes is a regular by any definition, Choudhry a regular squad player and this Thomas kid has now had a couple of games. Everton have given that Gordon a couple of games, Holgate a regular for them and Kenny broke through before that. Plenty of opportunity if you’re good enough.. except maybe at Palace.

Maybe Dortmund are just shopping. Buying good young prospects then selling a couple of years down the line for multi millions. As an example they could sell Erving Harland tomorrow and double their money.

Most of the pitches however had jumpers for goalposts.

Can imagine he's seen Sancho's progression at Dortmund and wanted the same for himself. Its good this generation are willing to go abroad. Couldn't say the same of the so called 'golden generation' minus Becks.

Thanks, I know and have been to a lot of those grounds supporting Kidderminster Harriers. Certainly been to Halesowen in the FA Cup and Bromsgrove Town. Crap teams and can hardly be called grounds. Stood on the grass at Halesowen Town. Here's Kim Casey for your Willopedia:

I had heard of Kim Casey and as soon as you mentioned his name I linked him with Kidderminster.I have no recollection of seeing him ply his trade.

If my memory serves me well, he signed Mark Yates who went on to play a significant amount of games for the club and also managed the club.Mark Yates was the manager of Cheltenham when I went to see them play.

Our deadly rivals. Harriers v Cheltenham matches were a bit tasty. I remember Molby playing and managing and of course Yates, Jeff Kenna was another big name. And, of course, Casey was the ultimate traitor who went to Cheltenham (Cherries?) but came back to Aggborough for his swan song.
