Do we have any foreign players?

[DifferentClass]

We have Wladislaw "Billy" Sharpinski from Poland, Djani Fleckouk from Morocco and Chris Wilder from Planet Perfecto

 

[JOEYDEE]

Can't be arsed to think..who was the last regular foreign player we had?

 

[Digger]

Wilder is from Stocksbridge, that's 'foreign' for some of you lot...

I didn't know he was from Stocksbridge. His English is pretty decent considering.

 

[Blade56]

What about Podolski?

Ah. I was close.

383.4 miles, not that close L9

It's not true what they say, you can take the man out of Stocksbridge

Florent Cuvelier, born in Anderlecht Belgium.

Florent Cuvelier, born in Anderlecht Belgium.

Being injured for years doesn't class as being a regular.

Ultimately, I don't care where our players are from as long as they're good enough and have the right attitude.

 

[mancunianblade]

Always wondered what happened to our scouting network abroad, or did we just have a someone who agent approached

Aside from the rather dubious reasoning about dressing room banter, a real reason for sticking with home nation players is the pending Brexit regulations. I assume that any current EU National would require a work permit in the future.

I'm no Brexit expert so I fully expect a few corrective responses.....

Post Brexit signings might need work permits but that's still unclear as far as I'm aware.

Current workers from the EU will probably be ok, it would mean kicking out hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. I can't see that happening!

We'll definitely have at least one foreign player next. Pretty sure it's a prerequisite in the top two divisions to have a player called Sakho.

 

[Chali 2na]

Is that because black people can run faster?

Not sure if you're serious or not, we've had the 'black people can run faster' argument before: https://www.s24su.com/forum/index.php?threads/john-akinde.46961/

 

[Kev Gee]

We haven't signed players from overseas for many years because our scouting network probably hasnt extended that far due to finances. Lets not forget that Cloughy only ever signed ex derby or Scottish players!!

I couldn't give a shit were our players were from as long as they give their all.

 

[Aston max]

A bit like me, born English but i'm now a fully fledged Yorkshire man.

 

[Benny and the Blades]

At least I can understand what Mr Wilder say's. I've heard Carlos speaking on R/S for what seems like an hour and got no idea what he's rambling on about at the end of it...

 

[JordoBlade]

Shouldn't that be Isle have Lucy.

Or up Lucy's isle?
