Bouhlarouz probably isn’t a free agent, he signed danish side Brøndby IF.
Johnny Karp
16 октября, 2013 at 17:35
He is in the game, data was locked before he signed. There are a few others that have signed since then, Marica is one.
Oscar Lindholm
16 октября, 2013 at 17:37
Ah, of course. I am sorry for the incorrect correction! :-)
