POTM:D He's a mod and he doesnt have time? Quality. Super rebuttal.

Dont agree with all (or even that much) that A Face has said on this subject, but will you give him a break.
He did point out that Brady is part of a youth system in a country which has consistently taken the best young talent in Ireland, thereby denying the national league. Whether he is failing his country or not, he is certainly failing his national league.
Do you expect him to sit at his computer all day with his fingers hovering over the keys, waiting for people to insult him so he can reply?
Whether you like it or not, everybody is entitled to give their opinion, he has done so without any personal attacks on any poster here, which is more than some of those who have replied can say.
Yes:D
Brady is employed by Arsenal as Head of Youth Development. His job is to get the best youths from around the world and bring them to Arsenal. To say he is failing the league here is hogwash. Its up to the clubs here to make sure the best kids stay on through scholarships or other incentives but it is hard when clubs like that come in for a kid.

But when a foreign club comes in, the player will almost always go. I know that Brady is employed by Arsenal, and his job is to find players and bring them to Arsenal, but you cant deny that when he, and any youth development manager does this, it damages the quality of the league the players are taken from.
Doing this will not damage the players international prospects (in fact it will improve them), but is does damage the league that loses them
Possibly but who's to say that if a good player stays at home that he would ever get to the EL. He might lose interest, get injured etc. Stretching it to claim that Brady is deliberately ruining the EL though. Cant remember the last time a player in the EL went to Arsenal btw.
