Seriously think it’s one of the reasons we can’t go the distance in major tournaments. Foreign players come to England to add the physical and pace elements to their excellent technical skills. They move out of their comfort zone, aided by financial riches undoubtedly helping that decision, but how many times do we see a Mid-table Prem player from some supposed backwater country be a star for that country in an international? Too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Well done to him - he hasn’t had best of seasons but that move will get him back on track and be good to work with best defensive manager in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For too long we have been blinded by the bright lights of the Premier League and have forgotten there are many top leagues around the world to play your football in.. as you have said the foreign lads come here already in many cases possessing the technical ability but add size and physicality to there game and become stars on the international stage.. our players have the size power and physicality in many cases but lack the technical and tactical nous required at international level.. we see it time and time again in tournament football.. Playing a slower more possession based game on the continent would Do some of our players the world of good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought Michael Owen came back from Real with a better all around game than he went there with. Injuries stopped us seeing an even better player. Lineker even had a spell playing right wing for Barca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 If anyone is capable of taking a defender that's down on their luck and low on form, and transforming them into a monster, it's Simeone. I say this every time an English player goes abroad, but I hope he does well and promotes the foreign route for English players that are looking for opportunities.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I recall Tammy was linked with Sampdoria a year ago on loan. Upper midtable Serie A side, with an attractive style of play in a fairly tactical League- could've benefited him IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted January 6, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Details of his ban starting to be released; It was discovered that in mid-July, 2019, Trippier's friend Oliver Hawley placed ten separate bets, ranging from £20 to £65, on the full-back joining Atletico. After placing one bet, Hawley sent Trippier a message reading: "6/1 Athletico (sic) Madrid", to which Trippier responded with three laughing emojis. On July 12 Trippier texted Hawley: "It's happening", shortly before Hawley placed two more bets on the move to the Spanish side. On July 14 another friend, Matthew Brady, met Trippier at a wildlife park and later texted to ask: "Shall I lump on you going there?". Trippier later said: "Lump on if you want mate." As the transfer came closer to being finalised, Hawley and another two friends placed further bets ranging between £20 and £300. When Trippier messaged a WhatsApp friends' group saying: "Done deal", he received a text from Brady saying: "Could only put a little bit on mate, they massively restricted the bet, keep me posted pal". The player replied: "No worries mate." The £25million transfer was finally announced on July 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I would have thought this would be treated as insider trading and as such could be an unlimited fine and 7 years in prison but from a little look it's basically handed from the UKGC to the FA to deal with. Knowing the FA they would probably wonder where the issue is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall’s Splinter Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 I remember a few years back where crowned western league Champions, Bishop Sutton, drew Clevedon of the league above in one of the early FA cup rounds the following season. On paper Clevedon had struggled the previous season and what Betway hadn’t taken into account was that the Sutton Manager had departed for pastures new taking the whole team with him. Sutton were struggling to field a side at this point and word got round about the odds being offered. I know many local footballers were lumping on Clevedon for a home win, with Clevedon I believe winning 3-1. Many a happy western league dressing room that day.
