While the Italian U21 international may not have done enough to earn a call up to Roma's first team this summer, he's earned plenty of interest from lower level top
flight clubs such as Spanish side Las Palmas.
Not exact matches
Smalling himself started his career at lowly Maidstone United, and although legends
such as John Barnes, Ian Wright, and Stuart Pearce also started in non league tiers, the practice of the country's biggest
clubs looking beyond the top couple of
flights has become less common since the advent of the Premier League in 1992.
What will surely anger the heads of English football most is that
such an idea could be discussed without any form of communication between the two bodies, and following the Premier League's blunt refusal to admit the Old Firm
clubs to the top
flight in 2009 it seems unlikely that a competition
such as the one being considered will ever come to be.
Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key players aren't even playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding players who played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned in full
flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this
club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make
such a definitive statement before the season has even started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make
such pronouncements before even knowing what his starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up
such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many times his own words have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded with an scintillating brand of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led team barely resembles that team of ore... whereas in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent times those words have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle of last season, we can't get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene
