Last night, whilst watching the Arsenal game,I did think "Can I make up a team of ex-Albion players playing in the Champions League this week?"

That led me to check up on where Maty Ryan had gone (Roma) to see if I could find a goalkeeper for that imaginary side. I couldn't.

If we broaden the brief also to include current Albion players on loan, bringing Scherpen into play, it might be possible to get an XI together. Anyone?

Chelsea being in the Conference League makes this quite difficult! Came up with the same lineup as @hans kraay fan club basically.

It's a shame that Leo Ostigard left Napoli, otherwise that's job done! Incredible.

If Napoli were in the Champions League, then we could just include Gilmour, as the 11th player.

Anyway, if I can be permitted to include the final QUALIFYING ROUND of the Champions League, then the team is complete:

....................................Scherpen............................................
White..............Tomori.....Balogun...........Yalcouye
....................Groß.........Mac Allister.....Trossard............
..................Gyokeres.........Undav............Sima......................

How annoying that Mickey mouse teams like this with our 3rd reserves get to play in the bloody champions league.
Alternatively, what great exposure and experience for them on their pathway to our 1st XI, or to be sold on for a hefty profit.

Sima's champions league goal will do no harm at all (unless there's an option/obligation to buy already agreed of course - I lose track!)

It's this kind of dedication to the task that I admire, and I'm woefully lacking in.

It's difficult, isn't it?

This thread prompted me to go and check if Sima is still ours or not.

In the good old days, we didn't have to worry about which Champions League players were still on our books.

If you could do Europa League and Conference League as well I might just pick you as my career path manager.
I was listening to the Guardian Women's Football Weekly podcast this morning and there was a question sent in by a "Han Solo".

It wasn't you, surely? :ohmy:

Weird coincidence but nopes, not me. In my 35 years alive I've only spent 5 seconds calling myself "Han Solo". Unfortunately those seconds happened when I registered this account.
