    Plus, he's provisionally cap-tied to Bulgaria. Gonna have to let this one run for a while.

    I thought he had only played for Bulguria's U21 side

    Yes, in an official competition (UEFA U21 qualifying). That ties him to Bulgaria until he files a one-time switch.

    Huh... considering he plays for Liverpool, the food proverb I figure he would've quoted would have had something to do with turning lemons into lemonade.

    Bijev scored a penalty in the U21 Prem match against Southampton U21s.

    Score was LFC U21 3 - 4 Southampton U21.

    It's still just a provisional cap for Bijev. He has already played for their U21s in UEFA competition. He is still eligible for a one-time switch to the US if he wants.

    Reading the tea leaves from Bijev's twitter account, it seems he was dissapointed with Bulgaria u-21's recent results (3-3 tie with Russia, and 2-1 loss to Slovenia). Perhaps he might "come in from the cold"?

    Great training today. Happy to be back in Liverpool after an unfortunate spell with the national team. #lfc

    Having never seen him play (which basically invalidates my next point, but who gives a f***), I just feel like Bijev could become a really good player. Call it a gut feeling.

    And/or that he was an unused sub in both matches. (Though I guess that could be called an improvement over the September matches, for which he wasn't called in at all.)

    Mixed blessing - means he's not loving the Bulgarian set-up, but also means he's not good enough for Bulgarian youth squad. :cool:

    I haven't yet found (or seriously looked for) confirmation of this but in some fan forums they are reporting that VB is on trial at Wolves.

    According to Michael Sweeting on twitter he's on trial with the U-21s and Liverpool are looking to sell him. Sweeting is usually in the know so I'm going to assume this is true.

    Wolves chase for new striker takes a twist [January 16, 2014 @ 12:02 GMT (7:02 AM EST)]
    http://www.expressandstar.com/sport...6/wolves-chase-for-new-striker-takes-a-twist/

    The excerpt:

    "Wolves have also had two strikers on trial this week.

    They have looked at Abdoul Camara, 23, from Sochaux, and Liverpool’s 21-year-old six-footer Villyan Bijev, who scored in the 4-1 friendly win over a Nike Academy on Tuesday."
