MrMiyagi 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 With 8 figure sums being thrown around for the likes of Bent and Downing, would you rather over pay for mediocre English players or have a team full of foreigners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'd rather spend 10 million on a shite spanish striker who doesn't want to play football and pay him over the top wages tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a team full of Shola's. Having 10 clones in a team would surely be off putting to the opposition tbh. Could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw's Juggernaut 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'd do my best to maintain a decent balance of English players in the squad/first team. Could turn into Scotland if we are not careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 English players are a rip off. Especially if they've been capped. As much as I'd love to see a Gerodie Nation with 11 local lads playing and managed by Sheera, I couldn't really give a shit as long as we're winning things. Ideally, we get the blend right of lercal lads from the youth team coming through and any foreigners with the right sort of attitude-Nobby for example.

Bombadil 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 £17m for Bent is utterly ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) I'm not sure if it is anymore. He's young, and seems to be very capable of scoring goals at premiership level when playing in an average team. That guarentee of goals is worth alot of money. So whilst its stupid money, its what he's likely to go for these days, and the fact he's English obviously increases the fee. And to think we could have had him for abour 2 or 2.5m back when we got Ambrose if rumours are to be believed.

Kid Dynamite 7031 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Owen cost the same 2 years ago despite scoring 30 more goals at international level and about 100 more domestically and the media said wed been ripped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Isn't this the same Darren Bent we tracked for 3 seasons and failed to sign, choosing Bramble ahead of him, now wonder Robson got sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Isn't this the same Darren Bent we tracked for 3 seasons and failed to sign, choosing Bramble ahead of him, now wonder Robson got sacked Bramble was a striker? Definitely a bit silly us playing him in defence the whole time then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
