  • Thomas eisfield promising mid?

    <br><div><br></div><div>He is good. He was average for the Reserves last season and I think he will play there this season. It will be interesting to see if he can handle the newly formed "Under-21 Premier League" and NextGen Series.</div>

Last season we were scrambling. Per and Santos were new to the league and took time to gel. Gibbs was only starting to get into form after not getting injured as much. Thomas was injured a lot but held his own. Laurent was injured as well in the beginning but held his own. Heck Per had a season ending deal.
