maybe that is the case. Never had a player disappear from my scout list before though! my squad is a right sided defender short now. guess that teaches me for selling before completing the deal for a replacement. didnt want to sign him till just before my cup tie and have a late increase in skill level. turned out didnt need him anyway. gave a scout packed level 7 a 3-0 spanking at home (im level 6) .. got half a chance of making it past the 1st hurdle for the 1st time in 3 seasons!
