TijuanaTim Posted 19 May, 2010 Author Share Posted 19 May, 2010 Non,you cant beat homegrown talent,its all there right under our noses. That's an answer...homegrown meaning English?? (Or Brits - Eng, Sco, Wal, NI and Ire?). Just it seems the higher you get, the more diluted teams become with less UK talent?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 I think the Prem teams have to comply with the "homegrown" rule next year don't they? They have to have a certain number of players who were signed to a professional team in England for a certain period prior to a certain age.

As you can see, I am well au fait with the details of this one. Eight players in a squad of 25 have to have played in England for three years before there 21st b/day. Pointless rule since 8 in 25 is nothing really, doesn't even have to be homegrown to the club they're playing for and don't have to be English.

Deano6 Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 As a generalization, I would go for good ones, ones that are quick and ones that are skillful. Perhaps ones that can take good free kicks or maybe ones with long throws. Ones that can pass would be good, as well as ones that can shoot (particularly ones that score with those shots, but that is less general and more specific). As for the countries, I would say we should go for ones from Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Germany and France. And maybe a couple of African ones.

Perhaps more significant than the 8 homegrown players is the limit in squad size.. So you can only have 25 players eligible to play a part in the league season? That will surely leave a few noses out of joint at some of the bigger clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Champions League is 22 so it shouldn't be a problem. Also I assume there will be some period in the season where you can unregister a player from the 25 and add new ones, probably in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 On the face of it 22 sounds like few. I suppose I have been conditioned by the recent years of Burley and the Revolutionary New Coaching Setup so to me a squad of 50 sounds a bit thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 I'm not so sure which would be the best but I think we should avoid countries which have bad health care like Burma, Chad and the USA. After all we want our players to be fit and healthy! I also think discipline is a big part of the game these days so I'd avoid nationalities currently having issues with their armed forces and police such as Iraq, Thailand and the USA. I also think balanced dietary requirements are important so I'd steer well clear of countries such as the Ethiopia, France and the USA. Saints in the community is a big part of our club IMO and we must help our community by protecting the environment, unlike the Americans. It would also be handy if our players had a good knowledge of soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junction 9 Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 This is a good question actually, let me break it down a bit. Could, suit us. Just Sweden and Peru. Would suit us. Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Holland, Portugal, Ivory coast and Croatia. Will suit us. French Southern and Antarctic Lands , Glorioso Islands , El Salvador , Dhekelia , Clipperton Island , Akrotiri , Svalbard and New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 Never mind the quality, feel the shirt-sales. I never realised there was quite so much global potential untapped; it would be remiss of us not to make a big-name signing from the Spratley Islands some time this summer. (Is this really a country or a well-inserted WU?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that based on sprculation over our new home and away kits ? Swedes,yes have a good track record.Not aware of any Peruvians who have made the grade with us but you never know,whilst on holiday AP might find one loitering at an airport or train station with marmalade sandwiches in his duffle coat pocket.

SamKimish Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 I firmly believe that we should only sign players with names that the OS can make rubbish puns out of, anyone else is just a waste. I'm still annoyed that Romain Gasmi failed to score for the first team ... I could picture the OS's title now orGASMIc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 With the sate of the £, I would suggest Bangladesh, Tibet and just possibly Papua New Giunea are the most affordable options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 Has anybody thought of the USA? Is there anybody on the forum who lives in the USA and could confirm whether this would be a good area to look at? I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsaint Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 Problem with USA players (and players from many countries outside Europe) is the work permit. Can be surprisingly tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anybody on the forum who lives in the USA and could confirm whether this would be a good area to look at? I hope so. Indeed! Maybe they could put together a full and comprehensive 'dossier' on Yank Soccerballers, send it to the SFC and then get the right hump when they chuck it in the bin?
