This wasn't even the U21s, this was the U19s?!?

Disappointed to see that he didn't even get off the bench in our 2-2 draw today http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=2986&newsID=13839&newsCategoryID=1

Eta, just read the Spanish lisp thing in the post above. Haha, I know what you mean (real tharagotha), but it might just be a normal lisp (apparently that whole Spanish lisp thing is nonsense anyway)

That's really interesting; not even a hint of Spanish accent there. Seems like an earnest young guy. Hope it all works out for him.

cool - cheers

Is this a B game being played this afternoon or do you own a time machine?

Given Gauld's call up 'for experience' I could now see this happening. If it does happen, I'd be tempted to give him a ten minute run out vs Gibraltar if we're comfortably ahead so he's capped and can't be poached.

Hitler-esque gestures and mannerisms too

I did say Real or elsewhere. the latter is most likely in the first instance at least - a loan to a decent top flight or second tier club in England maybe?

It's the same as with Feruz - until he gets a chance in the first team at Real or elsewhere, he shouldn't be getting a sniff of the full squad. No problem with him being in the U21s though - that's the place to be a bit risky/reckless with selection.

Has played his first (ever) top team game for OFI Crete. Cap him!

Found it here: http://www.freenewspos.com/en/latest/czech%20team/#/en/latest-news-article/b/1162128/czech%20team/calculated-risk-add-ups-for-cardwell His comments sound quite encouraging.

Ah, right, so he's English then? Baws Where did you find that?

I couldn't find anything to see if he was eligible for England. Hopefully he isn't!

Great news indeed. I'll probably tune in to Sporting's CL games now, just in case he gets a chance

Haah, me too! ETA: what a run and finish! How long before he opts for England

Then go to a team in Syria instead

WTF?!?

yeah, kind of riddler-esque

What a balls-up! His statement (probably written by his agent) is at least polite and eloquent: https://sports.yahoo.com/news/islam-feruz-returns-russia-173323282.html Should never have entertained the idea of going to Russia in the first place. Championship seems like an obvious choice.

I don't think it's quite as black and white as that. He's being a dick and turning down underage callups because he think he's too good for that. He's never said he doesn't want to play for Scotland at all.

The term 'wonderkid' is something of a poisonous title, as people expect potential to be realised and hammer players who fail to live up to that potential. Clearly Feruz has something about him to be picked up by Chelsea in his teens, but until he does something of note in a professional game of any sort (0 starts 0 goals so far), it's pretty pointless to talk about him.

Andrew Robertson and Hull could be a nice match. Playing at a very good level where he's likely to get a chance in the first team without too much scrutiny/pressure and his transfer fee is modest in EPL terms. On a side note, Stevie May to Rotherham 'to help their survival bid in the Championship'? Get tae f.....

On the brink of a £2m move to Sporting Lisbon. Very decent move in that it should help him develop in a league that should suit his style. I think SL have Champs League football next year as well.
