			    Not sure if this was mentioned already but Fran Karacic transferred to Dinamo Zagreb but loaned back to NK Lokomtiva. I have no idea about Croatian football but I assume this is a good move.

			    +x+xDecent assist by Ruka as well for the fourth goal Carter subbed on against Porto That's massive. I thought he was playing second tier Portugal?  Cup game. Not really that massive since he can't make the starting eleven for a second tier side.

			    +x+x+x^ He’s 6 foot 2. Like the most standard height there is for a centre back. Not sure why that article keeps making such a big deal about him being a “giant”...   But he has an elongated frame wouldn’t be out of place on a basketball court.  The article actually says 1.9 metres   The article actually says that he has an elongated frame that wouldn’t be out of place on a basketball court.

			    +xIt’s easier to get to a EPL via 6th tier in England than AL.  “Jay isn’t the only talented prospect in his family, with younger brother Taj, 17, a highly-touted hope at the Brisbane Roar academy before a serious knee injury hampered his progress....“Brisbane Roar didn’t even look at me back then but Taj was there doing well,” he added. “I guess we all have our own pathways.”  Probably more true. Despite the success of Mooy and Ryan you'd expect Crystal Palace to select their own before going to the A League. A League to EPL direct would be very rare but the players tend to pick of some decent stepping stones along the way.  I feel if he were any good and of A League level he'd at least get a League 2 loan or a reserves spot. I wish him the best but these articles often inflate how good the player really is. Gallifuoco found himself at Dover and couldn't really crack the A League again. I ask myself about Maynard Brewer. On the cusp of playing for Charlton if their number 1 gets injured only to be entrusted with 5th tier football on loan.  Timotheou is one who's just fallen away while Hrustic and Amini have at least kicked on despite being at massive clubs.
