don't know what type of measuring stick is needed to draw the euro snob but dvanadidas makes one good point in my mind.
Our youth has been stifled over the years and some who showed some promise ended up lost in the AL merry go round not lifting to the next levels much.
Was it them (not good enough ? but why were they selected in that case) or the Club not nuturing them enough leving them to warm the pine but keep using a Visa player.
SFC being my club has had many promising young uns but I can only recall Dimi stepping up...and Gersbach off the top of my head incl Grant to a degree.
So many looked promising but got sick and tired warming the pines, some I used to think gtfo you poor bugga.
Recent one Ivanovic.
Joel King has fallen away.
Chianese, seriously not good enough.
Triantos, showed alot of promise, finito..
Gameiro another showed much promise, yes injury came to play but never lifted after that.
Blackwood say no more.
Lokolingoy, on the pine forever after stellar Youth career, went to nothing.
Kofi Danning, promising to zilch.
To name a few, Arzani's, we need more types like him to inspire and showcase promising young local talent for starters.

Then the type of football, so SFC have swept the floor so to speak, I sure can't say I'm inspired by the type of play at some home games. Yep 3points is 3 points but I leave some games going, I could have watched that from my couch.
Its boring at times, regimented, pass back pass back re group re set, they are not the only ones playing this type of game.
We need some open style football, youth game players are robotic today, so is our game at times.
Then we have so many sub standard players doing the club merry go round, this is not good for the game nor encourage outsiders let alone euro snobs.

I don't know - some may say I'm talking crap but it sure is hard when your invested in EPL/LLiga/SerieA etc - now I know its a another level but we need more exciting type football.
Today you can watch anything from your mobile etc of many leagues easy as, thats what else your competing without even being a euro snob.
Euro snobs are also used to P/R, some may say bollocks here but thats proper football system to me.
Franchise system ? another X.
I support AL because its our top flight and for the "game" here itself - unfortunately so many don't look at it this way and as I've said, I don't blame them not liking it.
