Terminal Boardom Just goes to show what sort of people agents are. Sidwell made a mistake in leaving us for Chelsea. He is trying to rebuild his career at Villa. Liverpool in the 70s and 80s regularly took youngsters from smaller clubs and stuck them in the reserves to learn the way Liverpool do things.
I would have thought having someone like Jags at Everton would have been enough of an incentive to go there - plus it is not London and all the "attractions" on hand.
In terms of career progression, yes, but financially it wasn't a mistake- that move set him up for life.
And never forget he didn't go there planning to sit on the bench - as with all other moves by all other players, he went there confident he was good enough to force his way into the first team.
