But this time its brilliant news. 16 year old Bertrand Traore has been called up to the full Burkina Faso national side for the ACN, which for a lad that young is a major achievement. He`s the kid we beat Man Utd to last year and is very very highly rated. Good Luck to him.

Good news and good luck to him indeed - even though I've never heard of him!!

It is laughable though the clubs who moan about losing players to the ACN. You know when you sign them what the position is so you should factor it when you make your transfer decisions. Newcastle are gonna struggle with no Ba and Tiote which would put me off signing both of these players (mentioned in other threads).
