Rhys Healey is top scorer for Ligue 2 table toppers Toulouse after transferring there from MK Dons a couple of years back.

Looks to be soon getting a league winners medal and a shot at Ligue 1

So what standard do we expect that to be when compared to here?
Vanarama National League or Lower EFL Div 2?

It will be interesting to see in time whether he can fulfil his early promise.

He's getting game time in a supportive environment that's focused on youth development, rather than in one demaning instant results and reacting with motivational booing if they don't come, so it's all set up for that.

Winston Biscuit 19 year old Scottish left back Aaron Hickey has played almost every Serie A game for Bologna this season

Having looked at the Empoli Vs Bologna game from last month it seems Hickey may well have been marking Liam Henderson

Being linked with a move to Newcastle.

Started off with him being found guilty of beating up his girlfriend and English clubs shunning him, and now he is being managed by Daniel Agger who I guess he knows from his Liverpool days

Bologna are using some of the money they have received from selling Scottish left back Aaron Hickey to sign Scottish midfielder Lewis Ferguson

Even though this one out one in move just balances out the brits abroad numbers, its more like when a draw feels like a victory for the Brits Abroad thread
