You're right about the majority of English clubs but I think Spurs are now up there with the best academies in Holland.
Nevertheless, this partnership seems like a good thing - if Roda can remain a top flight club. Quite apart from offering a loan destination for our young players, it might also help us to accommodate young, foreign signings who can't currently play in the UK as a consequence of work permit rules.
Like Musa Yahaya, perhaps.
I agree with that but we were so far behind ( English teams generally) that we have a long way to go to catch up. As I said I spent a few weeks working at the Ajax academy and what those kids could do was light years ahead of what we were doing at the time. There has been progress made with some clubs though.
