Before the Olympics I thought Stanger was better than Pijnaker.
After Olympics I changed my mind.
Thought he was class at the U20 World Cup, it’s definitely a match fitness thing.
I reckon he needs to pick up game time at a league one/league two side or even do a Michael McGlinchey and make a move to the A-League.

Pijnaker went into the Olympics with maybe even less match fitness than Stanger. From memory Stanger was involved in a howler with Woud against Honduras, which rocked the confidence of both.
A move to yes a League Two club for young George maybe on the cards. However is that much lower than the Scottish 2nd tier (Championship)?? But yeah a whole complete sea change, moving downunder and some sun on that pasty Scottish skin could be worth a crack for him. His dad met his Kiwi mum in a Sydney pub, which sounds touch more romatic than Wee Mac's birth on a Petone roundabout.
Scottish 2nd tier arguably lower then League 2. Many Scottish Prem players only end up in League 1 when they head south.
This year: Edouard to Palace, Christie to Bournemouth, Ajer to Brentford, Oko-Flex to WestHam, Leo Hjelde to Leeds, Vincent Angelini to Watford, Olivier Ntcham to Swansea, Allan Campbell to Luton, Nathan Young-Coombes to Brentford, Dapo Mebude to Watford, Ali McCann to PNE.
I strongly suspect you are English - and no, I'm not a Scot.
Not questioning those examples as they are good players but this screen shot from transfer market is a bit more explanatory:
