It’s because the MLS still has one more season as a February to December league which exempts it from the can’t play for three teams in a Season rule. Currently neither Villa or Liverpool want him. Plus Dean Smith is Charlotte FC’s coach. Still an awful mess he has managed to get himself into.

Moved it, actually just put it here as didn’t consider him a realistic option for the time being but that could change in the future if he progresses.
Yeah, he could do a Morgan Rogers and with putting himself in the shop window with tonight's display, a Championship club should really go for him.

I don't love this move for Cresswell. Wolfsburg are a decently-sized club but they've been a mid-table Bundesliga outfit for a few seasons now. Feels like something of a sideways step. Don't necessarily hate it either but I'd like to see him challenged with a notable step up.
