I looked him up on twitter and it said he is on loan from "Major League Soccer expansion franchise Charlotte FC"... What on earth does any of that mean?! Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyL 2,565 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 He’s owned by Charlotte FC and been on loan at Birmingham (I’m not sure he’s actually played for Charlotte yet) Brum wanted to extend the loan again but it’s not happening. He returns to Charlotte on Saturday. Unless somebody buys him 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

What on earth does any of that mean?! He is currently playing for Birmingham on loan from Charlotte FC. They have already told Birmingham that he isn't returning to them on 1st January. Presumably because they want him back in the US but if we have been talking to them and then bid for him then that could be the real reason. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 @diggerlad07think it was you who mentioned the fitness guy “JT” is leaving. Picture on Gazette of players celebrating with him at the end of game tonight. Looks like a farewell kind of picture. Link to post Share on other sites

If I had no morals I wouldn't mind if he was a goal/assist machine, but he hasn't exactly torn it up at Birmingham, either. (And I have morals.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
