Where should be buy players from?

[Jose Jones]

The player let down thread got me to thinking... surely we can use science to look at our previous signings and how successful they were, and hence find out where we should buy players from in order for them to be good in the future.

 

So, some rules.

 

Scotland - YES, unless they are fat.

Denmark - Molby, Agger = YES.

Norway - only extremely one footed left backs, otherwise NO.

Middlesbrough - only right footed players.

Israel - surprising cult heroes and useful squad players, but get rid after a season.

Everton - NO.  Sign evertonians when they are kids and re-programme them.  Sorry Ross Barkley.

 

Have we ever signed anyone from Southampton?  Could be important.  Any other rules supported by science?

[The Golden Eel]

Crouch came from Southampton.

[Bjornebye]

Benfica.

[ZonkoVille77]

Ireland: yes. Some great Irish players over the years but the pool of talent is shite these days.

Italy: fuck off.

France: hasn't really worked out for us has it? We've had a few tards over the years.

Chester: yes. Has to be a mini Rushie there somewhere.

[Jose Jones]

Crouch came from Southampton.

 

Ah indeed.  Cult hero who wasn't actually very good.  Lambert seems lined up for that role.

 

Can't believe I fucked up the title of the thread.

Scunthorpe - worked for Shanks

If they are good enough it does not matter where they come form.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Aldi

Not a man of science whiskey? After your match thread experience too.

Chile! We should just send half of our scouts there and see who they can find.

Sadly no. Gonzalez rule.

Uruguay attackers = Yes.

Argie defensive midfielders only.

[Arl arse]

Lidl or Netto.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Brazil - strikers and attacking midfielders only

 

[Jairzinho]

Sadly no. Gonzalez rule.

Uruguay attackers = Yes.

Argie defensive midfielders only.

 

For the purposes of this argument, Gonzalez is South African.

[Trumo]

Definitely not Italian players. We've signed a few and none have settled due to injury, loss of form, lack of appetite or homesickness. 

[Red Phoenix]

Sadly no. Gonzalez rule.

Still think we should try harder to find players from South America either way, like the style of play that a lot of them have.

[Jose Jones]

Brazil - strikers and attacking midfielders only

Strikers from Brazil? I think not my friend.

[Trumo]

Real Madrid or Barcelona. At least they'll already have had their 'dream move'.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I'd have Neymar but pass on Jo

[Jose Jones]

For the purposes of this argument, Gonzalez is South African.

Fair point. Chile requires further data.

[Jose Jones]

Real Madrid or Barcelona. At least they'll already have had their 'dream move'.

Real = Nunez = no.

Barca = Garcia = Yes.

[Jairzinho]

I'd be willing to be Liverpool's scout in Chile. Like the City scouts we got, I can't start until next year though.

If you're not at O'Higgins' first game of the season you've not got the gig.

I'm afraid they started last week. O'Higgins winning 2-1 away at Union La Calera. I've had to make do with a recording of the game, which I'll be going over with a fine-tooth comb.

Skem Utd.
