Solly March came oh-so-close to notching a second as he sent a sublime chip over the head of USA stopper Zack Steffen that looked a goal the whole way. Unfortunately for March, and England, the ball struck the far post and bounced away to safety. (See it at 3:10 in the video below)...
No, he ruptured his achilles tendon during the final away game at Notts County. He then had to have two operations to heal it, as the first one went wrong, so he was out for a long time.
He was also behind El-Abd, so there were people saying let's cash in. We have promising youngsters and should try to hold on to them. We did with Dunk, although I appreciate he had already secured a first team place.
I would hate to lose March, especially now he's starting to fulfill the promise.
Funny thing is, that people said similar when Tommy Elphick was sold to Bournemouth. Where is he now? Skipper of a team who are 15th in the Premier League.
