From a broader perspective it's somewhat relevant. Clubs and agents are taking advantage of these young kids in the hope of making money. Why not fund more academies in their home countries? Instead they're stowed away at some small club in Belgium, then kicked out two or three years later, with no money and nowhere to go to, if they're not good enough.
There's a natural chain of progression for most players (unless they're super talented) that channels money down through the leagues. With the already mega rich clubs trying to bypass this to line their own and the agent's pockets they are killing the small clubs.
