A friend of mine is an agent and he told me that he was gonna meet up with Mads Jorgensen to discuss potential players.
He asked me if I knew anything about him and what players he's scouted for us.
I told my friend to tell him that he's fucking useless and deserves to be sacked for missing both Fischer and Eriksen.
It's a difficult balance however because from the young attacking-minded players point of view I believe you can't chose a better club than Ajax to be schooled in.
It's quite obvious there's a longer way from the young players in Liverpool to the first team than compared to those at Ajax. Of course he would've played now and then, but he's now already a regular starter with Ajax week in week out and you simply can't teach that kind of experience at any reserve team in the world. On the other hand he would've perhaps made the step up to the Premiership faster than most seeing how he's started his career in Holland.
However the more defensive minded talents that has moved directly from Denmark to major European clubs are the ones we've perhaps missed out on.
Pierre Emile Højbjerg (former Brøndby), Bayern Münich, has despite being only 17 already made it to their starstutted bench in several Bundesliga games. A central midfielder with great vision, energy, creativity and strength. Talent-wise in the same bracket as Fischer.
Anders Christensen (former Brøndby), Chelsea, is a vital part of Chelsea's Next Gen team that has made this years finals. A strong, powerful, technical (uh-oh) central defender.
Patrick Olsen (former Brøndby), Inter, playing regularly for Inter's U23 side and is being tipped to make his debut next Season. Alonso-like long passes, grit and loads of ability. DM/CM.
Jakob Barrett Laursen (former AaB), Juventus, left footed attacking full-back. Certainly a player with attributes taylor made for England. Described as a fast, strong, technical skilled player that's got loads of stamina. As in, he can bomb up and down that line for 90 min+.
Christian Nørgaard (former Lyngby), Hamburger SV. A very smart CM/AM that's not small in stature either. A few years from now if he can build on what he's already got in his locker (as in become a bit more physical in his play) he could end up at the highest level. Lovely, skillful player to watch in action.
The thing is these players has moved for no more than £1M tops. Emile Højbjerg moved on a free to Bayern.
