I will absolutely guarantee that Celtic will not be losing any promising young talent to what I assume you mean Championship clubs. Not sure where you get your information that he's on the radar of all these English clubs, your beloved google search brings up the same Notts County and Kilmarnock loan rumours that the Scottish press covered.
Regarding the Sturridge thing I would imagine most people would look at teams with that financial muscle being amongst the hardest in the world for a youngster to break into and might suggest that the fact they had you in the first place means they obviously rated you. Surely when clubs have to be careful with their money and decide they don't want you that's more worrying than a team that can go out and bring in an established international player instead of you? Man City and Chelsea can afford the vast majority of players on the planet. I think its a bit much to say that if they decide to let you go you're ****e.
There are plenty of examples of players who don't work out at one club for one reason or another but are outstanding elsewhere. It doesn't make them a bad player.
Jackson was on a list of u20 players that Champ Club teams could add. I haven't linked him to any club merely stated the obvious... that he is in a group of talented young guys drawing eyes now.
If he gets loaned out and considerable PT his arrow will only go up. As it did when he joined the Aussie Youth NT and got playing time.
Feel free to disagree. I could really care less.
Sturridge is not rubbish but he simply isn't world class even though he's been given the chance to be and at once was considered certain to be. That's rather the entire discussion we were having. (when does Chelsea or Man City let world class youth go)
Again, another non-starter of an argument.
