OK it was for Switzerland U19, and OK it was against Gibraltar, but 8 goals against any opposition takes some doing!

I certainly thought this feat deserved its own thread! However, it will pass most NSCers by; why not change the thread title to show it's a current Albion player (or at least a scholar).

Does anyone under the age of 19 live in Gibraltar?

A few apes.

A few apes.

They're banned from football, though, for racist chanting.

Yep. Shaquiri, Dhaka, Behrami. The Kosovans have done well out of Switzerland too. 9 Kosovo internationals were born in Switzerland.

If anybody wants to or can change the thread title, please do. Does it need a moderator?

Some confusion over one of the goals. UEFA only credit Tolaj with 7 so that will probably be the official stat:



Earlier in the season he scored 4 against Arsenal in the PL U18 league, which is a more impressive achievement in my book:

I can't wait to loan him to Leeds and then sell him.

A fair few Albion fans have been trying to do that, all season.

Loaning players to Leeds and he selling them? Seems an odd thing to do.

I know and yet some have that as the plan for Ben White.

Him and Vukoje seem like a couple of goal machines. Hope to see more of them in the U23s as the season goes on.

There was actually a post or tweet from a Leeds fan, reproduced on one of the other threads a few weeks ago, telling Liverpool they won't let him go
