Smirking_Saint Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 EU employment laws - Turkey not part of the EU so they can set whatever employment rules they like. Yeah but surely the FA can get in through due to some sort of sporting sanction ? They already have with the home grown rulings as part of the 23 man squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 According to MP, we're all done. Happy with our business, are you ? Sometimes I can't tell if you are genuinely a 'glass half empty' kind of guy, a wum or a complete nutcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 Yeah that's about the best they can do really otherwise it gets into messy restriction of employment laws. Can't just say 'must have X number of English players', they don't really want to either as the more diverse the league is and the more countries with players playing in it, the more popular it is and easier to sell abroad. The answer is English players actually playing abroad while they develop or in the lower leagues. However, it seems young brits are happy to sit in the reverses at Man Utd or Chelsea.

Hopkins Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 WTF we can't be allowed to do that over here is beyond me...... Why anybody would actually want that to happen is beyond me. Imagine this league with mainly British players. Jesus, it would be utter dire to watch. There is no proof what so ever and very limited logic that forcing more English/British players to play would improve our national team. Not only that, but why everyone is fixated on improving the National side when they play a few times a year rather than watching talented, exciting footballers on a weekly basis is also beyond me.

Batman Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 wouldn't want to mess up a successful gerrard/lampard centre would you? oh I firmly believe we have the players at U21, U20 and the full team to do and play better than what we currently do. maybe not huge depth but to play better than we do. trouble is, we are fixated on who the captain is and how many trophies the national manager won in his career. many national team managers have not been that special domestically. or, like roy (sadly) just out of touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 1 July, 2013 Share Posted 1 July, 2013 I believe they could have done better. A tournament on home soil helps a hell of a lot, yet it's only 2 games that really made it memorable, a fantastic performance v holland, and beating scotland, which you really should be doing regardless. Draws with switzerland, spain and germany weren't too bad, but still, they didn't play consistently well and seemed to use up all their goals in that holland game. Not enough plan B from the bench, and when you've completely ignored MLT in his prime, that's unforgivable, IMO. With that squad and at home a semi final was surely bare minimum? It involves winning one knock out game, which we did on penalties. We out played the Germans and were unlucky to lose. Ripped apart a pretty decent Dutch team. If we'd been able to take a penalty we'd have won the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, a dead anorexic vegertarian shows more hunger than us... Well it wouldn't be a transfer window without Alpine throwing his toys out of the pram. It is just so predictable, from someone who still cannot grasp the basics of the operation of the transfer window. The transfer window officially opened today and now has 2 months to run. We've done as much business incoming as Man Utd this window, and yet they were held up by Alpine as the example to follow last year because they did all of their significant business so early (actually they didn't but why let facts get in the way of a tantrum).
