Do we have any Girona type agreements across Europe at all? We really should have as it really helps the issue English clubs face that teams like Barca B etc don't. Imagine how useful a Girona type partnership would be for not only the scouting departments but for prospects like Walker-Peters, Josh Onomah etc.
I know we've had some before in USA, Holland etc but it seems they've all died down.
Yeah, I vaguely remember some dutch tie-up, but I think it faded. Ive been banging this drum for years, I think we desperately need this kind of relationship with a a club or two in Europe, where kids can get game time out of the spot light and in environments that are much more conducive to their development. I think it makes long term sense to financially incentivise a loan partner club, so there's something in it for them - ie we let them have the kids for free, pay for the upkeep etc. whilst they get game time and valuable development. France and Germany would be ideal, but Holland and Belgium too.
