Douglas Celebrating the Championship Title with the Back Room Staff
I am somewhat shocked and sad that Barry Douglas, the Scottish left wingback who played magnificently for Wolves last season has been let go for 3 million pounds to Leeds United.
Shocked that he is indeed a quality player who blended very well with the rest of the team and his spot kicks and corner kicks were magnificent which resulted in numerous goals.
Saddened that a quality British player, a journeyman at that would be sold off in a horse-trading process which is what the English Premier League has become, whereby performance and loyalty are only secondary and while I trust Nuno to field the best squad, the over reliance on European (Portuguese and Spanish mainly) downplays the contribution of the genuine born and bred British players.
It is no wonder that England has never won the World Cup for the last 50 plus years and Scotland never got close, even thought the English Premier League is touted as the best and toughest in the world, all the top teams are filled with foreign born talent hence relegating the British born to Champsionship and League 1 and 2.
Douglas should have been given a chance in the first team squad. I would have loved to have seen him run through the left flanks and try his skills on the spot kicks and corners.
Sad.
