Welsh Summer Transfers 2010 (Premier League, A-C)

A number of Welsh players (and managers!) were playing musical chairs over the summer. And even when they weren't moving, there were people making up rumours about them moving. Here is a possibility incomplete list of where the Welsh players are now and where they might have been if the papers had all been telling the truth for once.

Arsenal
Sanchez Watt went back to Leeds United on a season-long loan.
Aaron Ramsey signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal.

Welsh Players: One and a half - James Collins, Elliot Parish (who wants to play for England)

Birmingham City

David Vaughan’s contract came to an end with the option to extend it for another year. The option was taken.
