The foreign legion

Submitted by Chippy Dave on Wed, 08/07/2015 - 22:06

It looks like we're in for a complete turnaround next season, after having a squad with a core of British players we could realistically begin the season with just British fullbacks and 9 foreign players......we've become the new Arsenal!

I suppose it's because Slaven has a good knowledge of European players, it'll be interesting to see how they all settle down, we need them to settle very quickly as there's no easy games in the Premiership

We certainly needed change, it will just take some getting used to, we've always had a good number of British players in the team, although British players are stupidly overpriced

Price has to be the reason. Look at Charlie Austin, one good season for QPR no less and he's priced at 15mill!!! The two Daves are being shrewd in ensuring they get value for money, after all we paid 15mill for Carroll and seen no real return (yet). If you can bring through your own young English players I think that's the way a lot of clubs will go or as we are, buy abroad.

IF the talk is to be believed, Western Sydney Wanderers are taking a long look at Carlton Cole to become their international marquee for next season

It seems like they are hoping to score a few goals next season and they want to get in a good striker .Since they can't find one they thought that being on the other side of the world and with all our brilliant sunshine CC might be able to see the back of the net.
