Elche is a lovely little city. Great place to live and work, full of green spaces.

Got 9. And I swear the one I got wrong looked nothing like himself.

10/10 but yeah, No 2 looks nothing like I remember him and looked more like one of the other options but I got it right from the kit. There were a couple I got from knowing they weren't the other options rather than definitely recognising them.

The hair is definitely a confusing factor for 2 and his body shape looks wrong

Having players of the wrong ethnicity listed certainly helped me narrow it down a lot a few times.

The deciding factor for me, aside from the kit was that No 2 looks a bit of a shortarse.

That did initially give me a "Who the fcuk is that?" moment

Boye scores a cracker for Elche in La Liga.

Some player, criminally under-utilised here.

Matt Miazga is off on loan to Anderlecht. That’s his 4th loan move since signing for chelsea. The bloke is 25! He must be on a whacking weekly wage hence no permanent move for him nor would he want to go based on the financial terms he is on.

considering how much we discussed him the season before he left and the season after I am a little ashamed. Anyway I got 2 wrong. Did better than I thought i would.

Am surprised that TyTy is the only one of our released players to have found a club. Regardless of personal feelings, Gunter especially should have walked in to a bottom half Champ team, based on his CV. Maybe their expectations are too high, or they're just biding their time.

Reckon Gunter's issue is he's too expensive for bottom Champ or top L1 sides, not good enough for decent champ sides and too expensive as cover for them.

There must have been interest in them. Probably a lot of this is down to the amount of money even some youngsters can earn. They can afford to bide their time to see all the deals they get can in a window before making a decision. And if their family and kids are settled in an area that decision may well take longer to reach.
