Nothing. The argument was about wanting all foreigners in the Brighton team, like Arsenal, because English players were too expensive.

Well as far as that, that lies squarely at the feet of the relevant English football bodies for allowing so much foreign ownership of its clubs.

Even a few years back it was just PL sides this was an issue with.

Now even in Division One in England we have a team owned by billionaire foreigners.

So if you've billionaires splashing cash in your third tier league it's going to inflate the market even at that level.

Imagine the frustration for our clubs management when every time they inquired about a local player they were quoted way over the odds for a fee and a wage.

It seems no matter what we do we're damned if we do in the eyes of some and damned if we dont in the eyes of others.

And that relates to us looking for non league players who are generally English to bring in at a price we can afford. But when we do they get howled down for doing so but a section of our fans.

sauce?

I have lost track - are we doing this as a joke?

 

[severnside gull]

The league one Ole Gunnar Solskjær?

 

[saslowi]

Bad point.

Look at our managerial situation we had.

When we had Dean Wilkins our team was nearly all English and that is the furthest we've finished in the last 3 years.

It is also the last time we had a manager for a full season. Is that a coincidence?

Scandinavians normally settle pretty well in Blighty don't they.
And I'm sure someone will lend him some Clearasil before the season starts.

I take it he is good from the spot then!

Mmmmmmmmmm interesting comment on there, my ipod translates one of te comments as 'In the evening went walk to england for a try out for nicaragua 3 club brighton' iBollocks

 

[severnside gull]

good find Turkey

"if he does ok tomorrow (tonight presumably) permission will be given for him to go (on tour) to Portugal"

potential fee "several hundred thousand (krone)" so 300,000 would be around 32K sterling

We need him to help complete a "non English" starting 11 that will take us to GLORY

Barnes Midtgarden

Barnes is English. Born in Bath to English parents. He has only played for the Austrian U20s so could still play for England (unlikely I know).

So, an Englishman who in his mispent youth has prostituted himself to the hun. Bit like Lawrenson and the Irish.

Says we've watched him several times already but we want to test him in a match before we make a decision.

He has one year left on his contract but has rejected an extension.

They want to cash in now.

 

[Northstander]

He'll be a regular down West Street judging by that picture!

Is this him scoring the pen (good quality vid)
