Someone on the hat posted about speaking to the Dad of Lewis Carroll and being told that a pathway into the first team was the main reason for leaving.

Believes if he fails at Forest then he can still have a decent career in England at lower level whereas is he fails at Aberdeen he likely ends up at Cove or Peterhead.

You can't argue with that really. I suppose the financial side of things is superior too.

I worked with a close relative of Jack Grimmer and he has done alright for himself down in England.

Quite a few clubs up here lost young prospects to England during this recent window, which possibly suggests something needs doing to try and stop it.
