Sour Mash

So much less than Germany are having to use to bail out Greece. Good job we're out of it then.

Wrong. Our net migration with the EU is just under 200,000 per annum.

Obviously very difficult to quantify, but what sort of figures are we missing out on here? £500m a year?

We do control immigration from outside the EU. Have you stopped for a minute to think what immigration would be like if anyone from China, Afghanistan, Russia could move here with completely open borders?

Why do you think that? Roughly speaking, how do you mean better off?

Where has anyone stated that? Just more negative smearing I guess.

Osvaldo pay off? Training ground?

Also, we're still having to cover Osvaldo, Ramirez and the training ground improvements.

I think you're getting confused. Take 5 mins to read back through the thread, at least you've managed to quote the right person this time.

Right, so you agree that Koeman and MP pretty similar for us, which was my original point. Which of our under 21s have you seen look comparable to say Dier or Ali?

So, as stated above, apart from Chambers, no different to Koeman. Which of the current U21s have you seen that you would compare to Chambers and think should be getting regular run outs for the first team?

No. I'm just showing you that not all immigration is the same, my original point which you're trying to contest for some reason. We have checks and balances in place for those from outside the EU. In my eyes they should be stricter, but nevertheless they are in place. There are no such controls, checks or restrictions from those inside the EU.

Because its the current easy, lazy stick to beat the club with. Interchange that with Harry Reed is our saviour, it works the same.

You're getting more and more confused.

All immigration is the same to him. A skilled, in demand professional from Australia is the same as an unskilled labourer from Romania in his eyes it seems.

I'm not "implying" all are one way or another, but this might help you understand a little easier https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/afghanistan/work/longer_than_six_months

So you think all our immigration is the same? Same industries, skills, language? And do we not block significant numbers of people from migrating to the UK from outside the EU? If France and Spain have a problem with Brits migrating to their countries, I'd fully support them. Can't he's too much of a campaign from them on that, from them on the Brits spending their substantial pensions in restaurants, shops, golf courses, not diluting and depressing wages, unfair indeed.

How much time would Gallagher have got if Osvaldo hadn't been such a f**k up? He's not up to Premier League standard anyway.

You're working on the basis that all immigration is the same, when clearly it isn't.

Chambers I agree with. Why is MP's use of Ward-Prowse different to Koeman's? And Rowe, McQueen and Sinclair versus Hesketh, Gape and Seagar? How much football would Gallagher have played if the signing of that promising English youngster Danny Oslvado hadn't turned into a monumental f**k up?

Merry Xmas indeed

So not answering the question either, fair enough.

Yep. I don't know why this thread has "Koeman" in the title, it should really be "I miss Pochettino and Cortese so, so much and it still really hurts".

Which youngsters did MP blood for us?

So you can't answer my question.
