WEll, not exactly what we were hoping for from Transfer Deadline Day.. (and to be honest I dont know if its even worth its own thread - but thought I'd stick it up anyway!)
German teenager Christopher Buchtmann moves from Liverpool FC to Fulham
Feb 1 2010 by James Pearce, Liverpool Echo
LIVERPOOL have agreed a deal to sell young left-back Christopher Buchtmann to Fulham for £100,000.
The 17-year-old German joined the Reds’ Academy in 2008 after making the switch from Borussia Dortmund.
Buchtmann was part of the Reds team who reached last season’s FA Youth Cup final and last summer he played a starring role in Germany’s European Under-17 Championship triumph. He was named among UEFA’s top 10 stars of the future.
However, after being promoted to Melwood he has struggled to impress this season and has been off-loaded to the Cottagers.

What it says about him on the offal:
German left-back Christopher Buchtmann was named among UEFA's top 10 stars of the future in May 2009.
The accolade coincided with his starring role in Germany's European U17 Championship triumph.
Not that anyone at Liverpool needed telling about his undoubted talent. Buchtmann played a key part in the U18s reaching the FA Youth Cup final in 2008-09 and was thus promoted to Melwood after just a year at the Academy.
The teenager, who can operate either as a left-back or on the wing, competes for a place in John McMahon's reserves.

bit of a strange one this... was young, had a lot of promise from what I've heard, motm performances in quite a few games, but I suppose if the powers that be dont see anything, then best to get rid
