Situations like his remind me just how much our talent has improved since CP broke through. Booth is becoming a key figure at one of the bigger Dutch clubs at 21. In the past, this would’ve had one of the more active threads, and people would’ve been hoping he could reach the levels Bradley did. Now, he’s basically an afterthought.
honestly he should be in WC consideration considering his comp..... for now, he will be not quite in the spotlight....but give it a few years.....
Imagine telling someone 15 years ago that we have players who are regular starters in the Netherlands, Turkey, Scotland, and teams in European competition in Hungary, Cyprus, and Israel, and none of them are even close to the national team.
I don’t think he’s been consistent enough this fall to be in WC consideration, especially given his lack of MNT caps. However, he’s a guy who they should be looking to integrate into the first team in 2023, assuming he keeps his play up. with guys like him, Reynolds, Paredes, mihailovic, there are plenty of guys who look like they could give the team a boost in the near future, even if they don’t look like first XI guys. Even guys like Scally and Tillman haven’t really gotten to show what they can do.
To be fair, after a good start (getting minutes, anyway) he was sent to the bench and then dumped from the gameday squad for 5 games. He's come back strong for Utrecht, which is great. He has been an "afterthought" because there's zero chance he's on the WC roster, and the players who have a chance are the only ones most people are tracking closely right now. I'm sure come January there will be a lot more "forethought" about a slew of guys who are coming on strong, Booth included.
