European influx (5 Viewers)

[Gosb]

Not sure if there's been a thread on this before, but someone in Europe is doing a good scouting job - Wright, Van Ewijk, Sakamoto, Binks, Dovin, Torp, Rodrigues, Bassette. Long may it continue.

I thought we had agreed last season that they were all Robins mates and were doing a dreadful job .....

Yes

The media team must be begging Doug not to sign any more nationalities before they run out of room on their ‘here’s the kick-off time in all the countries are players are from’ graphic.

Thought this was a brexit thread, was hoping for some spicy custodial sentence inducing content.

bloody foreigners

 

[SleepyGinger]

Kastaneer and Jobello paved the way

 

[edgy]

Coming over here, taking all our squad places.

I can’t think of a team in the EFL that has recruited as well as us over the last 7/8 years. Abroad and domestically. Only possible argument would be Luton.

Home Office relaxes requirements for recruitment of international players

The new requirements allow clubs to sign international players who do not meet the current requirements, but who show exceptional promise:

www.freeths.co.uk

The relaxing of the visa laws for players to move to the UK has had a massive impact. It was only a couple of years ago that we couldn’t sign Marco Rente as he didn’t satisfy requirement entry and was therefore denied.

We are seeing a lot of teams using the foreign market more now such as the Japanese influx in the last few windows.

Makes a really nice change from seeing exactly the same faces each year in the championship with a different team each time.

*"unless they play for us then they're OK", seems to be the usual attitude.

If they contribute to society is the usual attitude from most

I'd still take Marco Rente if he was affordable. (which I doubt now)

Now if only you'd said 'Which part of Australia is in Europe?', I could have said 'Austria', but life is full of missed opportunities

Taking jobs off innocent English pros like Callum Ball, Nathan Clarke and Ferand Rawson... Makes me sick
