I disagree, learning at an academy with top facilities would be far better for a young player then playing at a lower league club with poor facilities, i don't see what anyone would get from getting a early morning coach to a game or having cold showers. He wouldn't be able to advance his ability or career learning from lower league coaches as he would at a bigger club, the best thing for him was to move on imo.
