Why does everyone assume they won't develop as soon as young players go overseas? Players fail and come back but I've seen better players than Mabil fail. So what's your answer? Everyone stays until they can start for an EPL team?
The answer is for them to stay until they're good enough for the first team they're signing for. Playing for Leeds' reserve team isn't going to do him as much good as playing consistently for Adelaide. If he can prove he can be a top player here, o/s teams will have the confidence to play him more, he'll develop more, etc.
