He's not wrong on this one.

Except he's not comparing like with like -he's talking about guys who are amateurs and comparing them to pros overseas. We do have young footballers with talent and professional attitudes and they're in professional environments. There's probably heaps of talented kids with bad attitudes who are amateurs wanting to be pro in Europe too but because of the size of the talent pool they are nowhere near their national U20s sides.
