I thought it was more about developing himself. He’s getting CL experience at a very young age.

He’d get more than 30k per week in England. Musonda is on 40k at Chelsea ffs :)

Don’t agree with that assessment

He's getting experience of playing against teams like Man City when we play our 6 CL games. If he was at a crappy EPL team he'd be getting experience of playing Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool etc. and that would be more than 6 games per season.

Not that you've done it but you can say "CL experience" and imply that playing against Man City in the CL is somehow superior for the player to playing against them in the league.
So English teams are the be all and end All in Europe, despite the fact they barely do eff all there other than get booted out in the QF - Liverpool being the recent exception. He’s played Barca, PSG in his time here too.

Nine English teams have reached CL final in last 14 years and they have also won Europa league twice recently. Not too bad :ponder:

I never said English teams are the be all and end all in Europe. I got noticeably sidetracked in my CL comment but I'm only really saying 2 things here.

Firstly, that being best pals with Eddie, Ntcham etc. isn't going to have the slightest influence over whether Moussa stays or goes. Secondly that signing for Celtic versus signing for AZ Alkmaar might be swayed by the fact that we're in the CL and the new signing gets at least 4 games against top opposition. That attraction of CL football isn't a silver bullet against the same player signing for Southampton. Even aside from the extra wages, the standard of team that we play against - the pot 1 and pot 2 teams - are comparable to the top teams in the domestic league that Southampton face. Yeah, PSG, Real and Barca are better than anything in England, but the best team in England is a pot 1 CL team. So, my obscure comment is that we can wave our arms and say that signing for Celtic gives you 4 games against pot 1 & 2 teams. Signing for Southampton gives you 2 games against each of Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool so overall you play more games against top quality opposition.

Actually, my obscure comment was that : the quantity of games against top teams, plus the idea that Southampton will play Man City in their domestic league while we've faced the same Man City team in the CL. Our game is labelled "CL experience" as if that trumps the experience gained from Southampton's league game. Again, you didn't say it, but I've read elsewhere someone imply that the name of the tournament that you play Man City in gives us something that Southampton's players don't get.

over and out :lol:

The uk has 4 cities that produced at least two CL/european Cup semi finalists. Without researching, can you name the cities?
