I think Soldado is a quality player in the right league....just like Rebrov, Shevchenko, Forlan etc, PL is not for him.
As for LvG playing youth, I dont know....however, I very much doubt it will our youth getting their chances. Probably get a lot of continental or South American kids in, like Chelsea do.
I agree all but for Rebrov - he was a bit over thought of in every league and especially the national team and never really 'that' good. Think he was only ever half decent for Dynamo Kiev
