If we made him go up a chimney and was beaten soundly and sent to bed without any bread then you would have a point. But he will be well rewarded, have good coaching, taught a new language and encouraged to study etc. Seems a pretty good deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this I'd have a problem with - http://metro.co.uk/2013/11/30/20-month-old-child-becomes-youngest-professional-footballer-in-the-world-4208126/ He's 15 so I think it's acceptable on the proviso that he's given the support he'll need and the education systems are in place which I am sure will be the case in both instances. I've spent some time in Bulgaria and I can tell you with some certainty that this kid and his family will be more than a little keen on this move or somewhere (anywhere....) else if there is interest. One a side note I hope Greg Batten keeps his focus because Plovdiv has a lot of distractions..... Edited March 7, 2017 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know what you're saying and am inclined to agree. It seems to be the way of it now though so I think that it is therefore imperative that appropriate resources are also invested in the youngsters' welfare/wellbeing over and above their football education/development.

simpark Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Apparently this kid has signed now https://topsport.bg/lokomotiv-plovdiv/iyad-hamud-veche-e-sobstvenost-na-shefild-uenzdi.html Very dodgy Google translation... Lokomotiv's Supermarket (Plovdiv) - Iyad Hamoud is officially not a black-and-white player. Today the youngster signed a 2-year contract with Sheffield Wendy. On Monday, the footballer will join the team's preparation for the 18-year-old "owls". In the first week, 18-year-old talents of the Wenzdhis will train on their own base, then go to a training camp in Portugal. Now is the issue of a license to play by the English Football Association, and as soon as this happens, the native talent club will receive the money from the Island on the account. "Everyone is very pleased with the fact that I come to their club, which is a great compliment to me, they have met me very well, I am happy to have signed up, everything is at the top level, much better than the Bulgarian reality, Because I know this is my way of developing in football. It is very important that there are two more Bulgarians in the team - Preslav Borukov and Stefan Gavrilov who will help me for my easier adaptation. But the setting and organization of the Sheffield Wells club motivates me a lot. I want to thank Lokomotiv (Plovdiv), all the people in the club and everyone who has helped me to develop. I thank the coaches who have done a lot for me. Lokomotiv (Plovdiv) stays forever in my heart, my first and born team. There I always felt like part of a big family. But now I am ambitious to succeed in England - the country where football is raised to incredible heights, "said the happy Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
