You went for Suttner over Barnes??
I went for the Austrian player, with 20 caps for Austria, yes - over the lad from Bath with a grandmother who once served apple strudel for dessert.
(Less sarcastically - the RULE is made clear in the thread - I'll always go for the player actually capped by a nation, rather than a player just qualified as such).
I know I've only heard Barnes a couple of times but isn't his Austrian accent stronger that that of Suttner??
This seems like a good place to stick this.
In the past 10 years, we've signed players from 29 divisions, which is more than any other PL club.

Barnes was capped by Austria at U20 level, but was refused an application to become an Austrian citizen in 2018 so is actually unable to represent them at international level (or call himself Austrian for that matter).I went for the Austrian player, with 20 caps for Austria, yes - over the lad from Bath with a grandmother who once served apple strudel for dessert.

Unless I'm reading that wrong it says Fulham have signed 5 players from us over the last 10 years. I can only think of 4, Duffy, Knocky, Norwood and Rohan Ince. Any ideas on the 5th? Unless they are counting Knocky as two separates deals for the loan and then the permanent deal.

No one from the Cook Islands yet, long way to go!
Where do you think Steve Cook is from?
We've also got Pascua Gross covering Easter Island.
He would, but autonomous regions NOT recognized by UEFA / FIFA shouldn't count really. Calde just got special dispensation to be on the list, because he's Calde.
I totally get that. Calde should always get a special dispensation for....well...everything really. But I would make a similar argument for a dispensation for Bruno being a Catalonian.
Alerting [MENTION=1349]turienzo's lovechild[/MENTION] to the excellent, accidental discovery that Thierry Racon has three caps for GUADELOUPE, led me to dig out THE LIST, only to discover its been sadly neglected, and needs updating.
