As I was posting on this year's South American U-17 championship, I remembered posting on Larrauri on this thread. In fact, I lost track of time and was wondering why he wasn't listed on the U-17 squad ... simple answer: he played in the 2011 edition. Just turned 19 2 days ago ...
Since a lot of recent discussion (amwood, coache, Observer, elan
et al) has turned to player development ... Here's what has happened to Larrauri since he left for Bayern at 13:
* left Bayern under circumstances that are unclear
* tried his luck at Spurs (sounds familiar)
* tried his luck at Leicester where he had a spell with the 18s
* is now with Pachuca in the Mexican league on loan ... with whom he
debuted 8 weeks ago. Contracted for 3 years with Leicester.
Success or failure?
Here's how he used to geh orn at 13
