This is hard to take and not just because he had great potential but because of the overiding opinion held by most that he could not develop further at Cas. How long before we hear whispers that other such young lads are not happy with the club and have had their heads turned while playing for their country? paranoid? me?
Of course there are other young un's to fill in and have just as much potential but how long before the glamour of playing for the home town club wears off and a huge wad of cash is handed the clubs way for a want away player?
I want the new stadium to happen more than most but it seems we may have to suffer a lack of ambition from the club on the field for a few years yet and thats only if we get a new licence which is in the balance even if all goes to plan with the new stadium.
In my humble opinion Rangi Chase is on the verge of gaining full international honours on recent form and this is a worry to me as the trend seems to be Cas lad plays for country Cas lad moves on. Who knows Westermans replacement may something special although at such short notice I cant see it.
Sad really.
