5 academy players handed senior numbers at Mouscron
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.
Market26 Jul 2027
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mousa Fellaini has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The ground is getting bigger
The plans are signed off at a capacity of 3902. Decisions like this are judged twenty years later, by people who were not in the room when they were taken.
