I was told the other day that whatever country you go through pubity in, you're likely to be stuck with that accent. So we've pencilled in a move back to the UK as soon as Pepe Jr gets his first pube.

Most as sub - 14 league apps totalling 350 mins but he is slowly breaking into the first team there, so fair play to him. Yet another example of stupid management of the club letting his contract run out and not taking the money from Wolves.

What's the story here? Move to Lebanon with his parents when he was younger? Or just a random transfer? I know I could Google, but I want YOU to tell me.

Bit of a journeyman who likes to wander. Played a fair few times in the SPL, had a stint at Leeds in the Champ and a short spell in Iran, but then went to Finland, scored 20 in 28, was named player of the season for his club and also won the Finnish Premier Divisions player of the season award.

Was then offered a 'life changing amount' if he joined Al Ahed in Lebanon, who are big spenders and looking to achieve success in the AFC Cup (Asian Europa League)

Fun fact - Al Ahed are the unofficial football club of Hezbollah

I wonder if they sell Hezbollah/Israel half and half scarves outside the stadium

37 year old Anthony Barry from Liverpool, who played for Yeovil, Chester & Fleetwood, among others, and ended his playing career at Wrexham 6 years ago, is the assistant manager of Bayern Munich and also the assistant manager of the Portuguese national team

I have never heard of him before until a few minutes ago.

19 year old Mohamed-Ali Cho has been one of Real Sociedad's stand out players this season. From Staines, came through Everton's youth team and played for England under 16's. Moved to France at 16 to join Anger and then 18 months ago got a €15M move to Spain

Has opted to play for France under 21's but not played full senior side for any nation

Great work by the French side to turn him into a €15m player. Good Anger management.
