[Albion] Percy Tau - SIGNED on a 4 year deal - The Lion Returns. RRROOOAAAARRRRR

[Machiavelli]

International footballer can’t play for his English club side where he would be paid and taxed heavily. Yet half of east anglia is farmed by non skilled foreign workers that pay little if any at all into the economy? I’m confused.

Yes, I think you probably are.

 

[the right footed denilson]

This is frustrating. He looks like just the kind of player Potter would like.

Must take into account the team he was playing against was Egypt, not world beaters.

He looked better than that Salah bloke........what’s he ever won......?

Fear not had Percy been signed by Spurs he'd be deemed a world beater.

Tournament favourites and one of the highest ranked African counties. Their manager has been sacked on the back of that loss. Tau and his teammates were simply too good. If they can beat Egypt, they can win the tournament.

Ian Wright thinks that he will be and raves about him on Talk Sh..e

 

[Doc Lynam]

Here's another one against Genk in the cup 6 months ago.

Quick, fabulous first touch and close control, properly two footed, can't wait to take on a player, brings in his team mates and he's direct as hell.

Also looks like he's been at the gym in the last 6 months; Genk game 6 months ago, Egypt game the other night.

VERY good player here!

Does this mean South Africa move up the world rankings sufficiently to help us

Not yet, i must admit to not being very clear as to exactly how this fella passes his permits!

He'll make a great right winger or number 10 in my view.

 

[Prettyboyshaw]

Yes, I think you probably are.

And you think that a professional international footballer shouldn’t be allowed to play in this country?

Fear not had Percy been signed by Spurs he'd be deemed a world beater.

Fear not had Percy been signed by Spurs (or any other top six club) he'd have a work permit by now...............................

I suppose the point is that we have an immigration system that prioritises foreign workers where they fit a need in our society. We do need more seasonal farm workers, we don't have a shortage of people wanting to be professional footballers. For the kind of people who write things like 'bloody foreigners, coming over here, taking our jobs' football would be a good place to start

Thank you for telling me what I think, although you're incorrect in what you've attributed to me.

To be fair, he didn’t tell you what you think. He put a question mark at the end so was asking you what you think.

I suppose they take into account the massive amount of revenue that a world-class player earning £10m a year will bring to the U.K., not just through their 45% income tax, but also in enhancing a product that is exported worldwide for billions of £.
