DiegoDiego Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 You don't know enough about Bayern Munich? What are you even doing on a football forum?Firstly, it's a Scottish football forum and in that regard Bayern Munich are less relevant than Trakai or Birkirkara.Secondly, although I have a reasonable familiarity with Bayern Munich, I know nothing about their business model regarding teenage prospects which is what is relevant to this conversation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live just over an hour away from many many clubs. Yet I don't have any knowledge on their youth systems. My nephew played for celtic and is now at St Johnstone. Yet despite being in touch with him I have very little understanding of their youth recruitment, coaches or training. You were not employed by bologna were you? So really you just read some stuff in a newspaper. Of which there's going to be ridiculously little info on youth teams. Stuff that anyone would have access to.

For the sake of f**k, I never claimed to be an expert. I'm not sure why you're being so needlessly argumentative, all I did was point out that interest from Bologna wasn't exactly evidence of him being a world talent. Just admit you were being hyperbolic and move on. It's okay to be wrong sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Bologna's reputation is built on inventing the blandest spaghetti sauce on the planet, and a sausage that the Americans use as another word for nonsense. I doubt their assessment of footballing talent is much better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie fae Duke Street Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 More Scots youth getting picked up by european teams is hopefully a sign of green shoots in our football and certainly hope the lads are successful at Bayern but there'll be very tough competition, so can only wait and see. Although a footballer has got to jump at the chance to play with some of the very best, I partly still wonder if it could perhaps be better for them to go to more mid-table type clubs like Bologna. Where they'd still get the benefit of a greater standard while having a better chance at getting decent game time. Although that's still no guarantee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three full internationals in their squad, several age group. You're an idiot. If you are saying Hamilton have players of similair quality to Bayern Munich, then I agree, Hickey will be fine. Not sure that Saville enjoyed the youth as much as you. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Paige-Black Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Nothing wrong with Pep getting excited about young players breaking through. The only out of order comment was LondonHMFC's about Jimmy Saville 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hickey apparently Celtic bound right now. Bit of an anticlimax after the Bayern stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 If the standard of youth player at Bayern is Alphonso Davies then Hickey might as well sign for Celtic. He won’t get near the Bayern starting XI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
