British only team

[Walken]

I think some people have missed my point here. This would be a focus on developing our own players, keeping our identity and to avoid being like chelsea. Never mind

I think you are more like chelsea than you should be comfortable with

I've spent the day thinking about all the civilians we've massacred over the last couple of decades

I spent yesterday thanking the drones that are doing God's work in far off lands.

Just want a team of winners myself, not remotely bothered about their country of origin.

Fair enough. I just dont want players like Davies, Kenny, Dowell and Calvert-Lewin path to the first team blocked. I think these lads are all winners. Having won a world cup and premier league 2

Has our identity ever been about keeping it local though?

Our identity is about being the best (which has obviously slipped majorly recently..).

Be it fans or players I don't think it matters where anyone comes from.

Our identity is scouse and celtic mate. Not British.

What’s that got to do with whether we sign foreign or British players from other clubs, though?

 

[Toast]

There can't be many scousers that don't have at least 25% Welsh or Irish in them. 50% Irish myself.

James McCarthy would love to have such a high percentage of Irish in his blood.

There place in the team not being there, due to players like Martina being selected ahead of them

He’s not being selected because he’s foreign, though. Who’s to say we wouldn’t have a crap British right back ahead of them instead?

 

[collymcd]

Brits out

 

[mike91efc]

I take it that most people would be against my idea then. Thanks for the thoughts though. Some very good points made against it though

 

[formerly manx toffee]

I quite liked Cahill and Arteta.
