Southampton.

 

Hahahahaa Sonny Pike, remember him on Big Breakfast

 

He even managed to get on Fantasy Football as well with Baddiel and Skinner. lol

 

The media and fans were just as keen to destroy our young talent back then as they are today, imagine calling someone the new Maradona at 14. Unreal.

 

As for this kid, hope he signs for Stroms and makes them a fortune.

Sonny Pike legend.

 

Southampton.

Poor lad had a mental breakdown in 2000 and then went on to quit football altogether, studying instead.

 

From his wikipedia page:

Pike's talent was present from an early age and led to his signature for Dutch side Ajax at the age of only seven.[3] Pike was playing for the Leyton Orient youth team at the time.[4] He was described[by whom?] as a player who, "had a lot of skill, could pass it and was a nice player, but he lacked pace."[4]

However, the pressure on Pike led to both his personal mental breakdown in 2000 and the collapse of his parents' marriage.[2][3] Pike's collapse has been used as a warning to other young athletes, such as Cherno Samba and Rhain Davis.[5]

After leaving Ajax, Pike returned to England and played non-league football with teams including Stevenage BoroughBarnetEnfieldWaltham Forest and Dryburgh Saints, all under his birth name of Luke Pike

Fairly sure Barry Bannan did something similar, driving a Bentley on a provisional licence.

Dortmund sign Kevin Kampl from RB Salzburg. Good news on two fronts (he's class and it weakens RB - would hate for them to win EL) but still a sickener dealing with them at all.

 

How much you paid?

 

I'm glad it weakens them too. Increases the chances of Villarreal getting through.

The transfer fee's rumoured to be in the region of 10m Euro (£7.8m).

 

As for Villarreal's better chances, that all depends on whether Vietto is staying. :ph34r:
