Went to Barca didn't he? Obviously not good enough. I've seen AM's youth a few times in tournaments. Very poor. Same level as Totana but better than Sheffield United.
We're being a bit harsh on the lad..
Barcelona came knocking and gave him a trial - it was more than a week's trial by the looks of it, more like six months, sounds like they've got a proper set up and don't send out old alkies to watch lads matches then give them one game like Leeds.
He'd have kicked himself if he stayed at Leeds and didn't have a go at Barca.
Better to have tried and failed and all that, so AM are not up to much cop, can't beat starting overseas in my book. Rather there than Lincoln City..
