Still no overseas players

[derfblade.3]

Not being racist or owt but it must be great for the dressing room having all British players in the squad (except Lavery). The rivalry between the lads from the 5 nations must be great banter and create a buzzing dressing room.

Has the Irish sea dried up now then?

I presume it comes down to not having a scouting network overseas yet

 

[Houston_Blade]

I’ve heard it’s Abdullah, he isn’t keen on forrins

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Didn't realise Enda was British. Always thought he was Irish.

 

[BigBed]

Our manager isn't British, surely he was sent from heaven!!?

 

[mattbianco1]

Didn't realise Enda was British. Always thought he was Irish.

And Hogan, Egan and Goldie

 

[TTMeysh]

British Isles. Even with the current deep freeze in Anglo-Irish relations, I do tend to put the Irish lads in a different mental category to your Carlos Kickaballs.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Far less diving and rolling around shenanigans than with Johnny Foreigner (apart from jack Grealish obviously).

Same thing...

 

[Piffle and Tosh]

we should shout this out loud ,not doing badly are we ?

 

[Guesty]

And Hogan, Egan and Goldie

McGoldrick is from Nottingham, in fairness.

 

[mattbianco1]

McGoldrick is from Nottingham, in fairness.

And Hogan is from Manchester.

I'm just going on the country they represent.

Is Lavery Canadian or Northen Irish?

 

[Boxer Blade]

Wait until after brexit regarding the backstop border issue, it'll be clearer ,hopefully.

Canadian. Extremely Canadian!

I believe he wanted to play internationally for Northern Ireland.

I think its a major reason the team spirit is so good at the Club. If you have many internationals of different cultures and languages, especially when their grasp of English isn't great, then I would imagine that they'll form groups with fellow speakers of the same or similar language - its human nature. Just look across the city and see how many foreigners they have, and they're by in large not better than their British players!

Saying all that, there are some great bargains out there in Europe, but you have to know your stuff. Norwich have done very well through their manager abroad, who clearly knows the German leagues well. Pukki has obviously done very well and he came on a free from Denmark.

 

[cahill]

Hogan’s à Manc, Goldies a Nottingham lad. Hardly Oirish, plastic paddies.

When bluff Yorkshire lad Mick McCarthy opens his bouche hard to imagine a pint of Guinness.

Can’t think of any more ethnic stereotypes, to be sure

John Egan too. I suppose it’s strange how Irish players aren’t viewed as foreign, despite being technically foreign.

There's something not quite right about the comments on this and other threads on this subject. We're an above average Championship side at the moment, not Champions league contenders, so any "positives" arising from United's policy, if it is indeed that, are a figment of the imagination. Personally I find it worrying and the departure of Leon leaves us with Goldy as our token contribution to diversity. Whilst some view our present situation as fucking marvellous, I think it sucks really and it needs a root and branch review.

 

[Rodley]

It’s hardly a policy snootyfenooty

 

[Brissieblade]

Simon Moore's represented the Isle of Wight and yet people still suggest we don't look beyond these shores

You sod, you made me spill my coffee.....

What's this policy you're referring to?

I’m sorry, but that’s an absolute nonsense comment.

 

[CrookesBlade]

Who was the last player we signed from a club outside UK and Ireland to make a first team appearance?

Elian Parrino?

Assume its subtle comedy?

If you read my post you'll note that it was qualified with "if it is indeed that", so calm down a little. Either way, the outcome is what we have now, policy or not. So it still needs looking at.

The only back stop we know about down t'Lane is Jimmy Binks.

 

[DifferentClass]

Selling Leon is proof Chris Wilder is a racist.
