Wonder what happened to this kid? I remember during his youth days, he seemed to be quite highly thought of but just seemed to disappear over the last 3 or 4 years.

 

Constant hamstring injuries unfortunately.

And it’s not going down well.

Apologies if this has been covered on another thread but Charlie Cresswell has moved from Toulouse to Rennes over in France.

 

Jay Robinson moving to Monza on loan. Another one we can add to the ever growing moving abroad list….

 

Joining a Serie A side with no option to buy apparently from a Championship club that didn´t rate him over the course of last season feels odd to say the least. Especially if the main goal was to guarantee him playing time

Is Aaron Bouwman actually eligible for England? Heard some reports he´d be eligible for Germany as well but can´t explain where this link is supposed to come from so far.
