Foreign players in the starting eleven

Bloody hell! There’ll be women playing the game next!

I'm Canadian. All of our players are foreign to me. No big deal.

 

[Steve Wigan]

How can that be vague? How much more info do you want

Like, was he even charged with murder, or was it causing death by dangerous driving.

...and next season at 3 oclock on a Saturday on TV !!

I know it’s probably happened before, but I noticed today Chelsea started with no British/Irish players. You just wouldn’t see that in any of the other top leagues. I would hate us to go down that route, I think you lose a “connection” with your team.

Surely there should be a requirement to field a minimum number (3 say?) of British/Irish players? Is there a rule of some sort on this, or is it the amount in “the squad”? I can’t see how home grown players are going to get a chance to improve unless that requirement is in place.

Sevilla and Inter Milan have done it.

It wouldn't bother me if they were all from Planet Zog provided they give 110% and stay out of the discos.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Foreign fella kills young white woman.

By any chance was he in a caravan?

 

[Cool_Blue]

Sevilla and Inter Milan have done it.

Really? That’s interesting, as Italian fans seem to hate outsiders more than most, some of things that have gone on in league games there

This is why I don't follow European football competition (apart from it no longer being on the telly). There is no British team to follow.

This is how Brexit happened.

Brexit happened?

There are no English people living in Chelsea anymore so the players are considered local anyway.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Don’t forget General Stupidity in all this

Errrrr, I said I would prefer us not to go down the Chelsea route. We haven’t. I’m talking about finding and developing young players. With Chelsea’s attitude, the players you’ve mentioned wouldn’t get a look in, which is my point.

But as you’ve brought up money, remind me how much we’ve blown on overseas flops? Most of whom we can’t shift.

Martinez, Koeman and Silva to start with..,

 

[CRIMHEAD]

good grief, what a ridiculous comment

Uh, that was kinda the point.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

WUT?

I meant to say inexcusable, not excusable. Harder to project talent when they aren't in your immediate league. My bad.
