I'm not sure the fact that a large section of Albion fans enjoy drinking strong continental lager on terraces comes up when Ashworth, Weir and Potter are discussing the appropriate loan club for the young talent. Maybe it should.

Nobody's saying that either. If the owner of USG plays ball, and appoints a manager and director of football with the same ethos as Potter and Ashworth, and plays in the same way then it could be a very useful destination for young loanees.
I expect the owner's an awkward sod who won't go along with Bloom's ideas though. Shame that.
...........oh.

Maybe USG don’t want to become our feeder club? It must be pretty demoralising to see your team just become a hub for another clubs not-quite-good-enough players to get some experience. You’ll never be able to build something solid for the future when your key players are never going to end up being with you for more than a year or two.
There’s also the fact that it doesn’t actually work very often to consider too. Chelsea have loaned nearly 30 players to Vitesse and a grand total of 2 of them have had any sort of career at Chelsea. Matic; who they sold and then resigned before he got a chance, and Mount. The success stories are heavily outweighed by Ulises Davila, Mukhtar Ali & Wallace

Whilst not as interesting/good as Percy, we did send Soufyan Ahannach there last season. He only played a couple of times mind before joining Go Ahead Eagles in January.

USG have a great chance of promotion this year.
The format has changed and of the 8 teams 1 goes up automatically, and another gets a promotion playoff.
4 poor-ish teams have come up from the division below, and Bruges U23 added to make up the numbers ( no promotion for them).
So top 2 looks like it is between 3 teams - USG, Lommel ( A Man City group PetroState sportswash team ) and Westerlo.
USG won the only game so far - so now top of the league.

Has Bloom spent anything on them this summer?

Yes. For the second summer running he’s taken Portsmouth’s best player off them - this time for USG.

They have a player called Brighton Labeau which sort of translates to Brighton the beautiful.

Mmmmm funny that move, says on his Wilkie page he partnered both Webster & Clarke at Portsmouth. I cant see the benefit for us in the long run but maybe to stabilise the defence at USG in the short term. He is not a youngster at 28 so not one for the future for us or USG. Maybe Bloom just wants to steal every available CB at Pompey?

And 2-0 up so far. Standard of this league is so so pitiful mind.
We became aware of Burgess when scouting Clarke, he ticked a lot of our boxes, but as you say ultimately not one for the future and was no better than we already have. However the scouting network cleary serve a purpose for both clubs and Burgess was signed up by Tony for his other team. There was an article about it when Burgess signed but I cant find it to share.
