I'm still trying to work out how some Egyptian clubs (Al Ahly, Zamalek, Ismaily) seem to have so much cash sloshing around. Not the sort of money the Premier League has, obviously, but enough to make those clubs a valid option that so few of their players feel the need to move abroad. It's especially obvious when you look at the Egyptian national team compared to that of Algeria, Tunisia or Morocco - and, yes, I am aware of the number of Algerian and Moroccoan internationals that were in French youth teams, such as Bentaleb or Taarabt.

I think that they've got very large support and their talent just isn't as good.
They don't seem to be able to sign many foreign players, either. Barely a handful at those three clubs.
 
Reuben Lameiras, our former Academy midfielder has got himself a decent move to Plymouth Argyle. Lameiras was released by Coventry at the end of the season.

Had to drop down a level, but he's proven there, I guess.

Also joined by Scott Loach, who we were linked with about eight years ago.
His career has gone from the verge of starting for England to dropping into non-league football.
I wonder what went wrong?
 
Following a loan spell at Genoa where he started one game and hasn't played a second of football since March, Adel Taarabt has returned to Benfica...'s B-team, which is the team he was assigned to following his arrival on a free transfer a couple of summers ago and looks set to remain there if he isn't offloaded this summer.
