chipdawg Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Was just browsing the ACN preview on the BBC website and I was wondering whether we think Del will have sent someone out there to have a look for a bargain or 2? A lot of the players on show will be playing in Africa and so relatively cheap, while there'll also probably be a number of players who were born in France, Germany, Belgium or Scandanavia and so wouldn't require a visa. I know our last player purchase from Africa didn't go that well, but if at first you don't succeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dziekanowski Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 not unless they already play in the SPL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So many of those African players would fail to get a work permit. However there is quite a few with French backgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 you will get work permit problems which is why prem clubs sign them then send out on loan to a feeder team in belgum etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet at least 30% qualify for a European passport through one route or another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Tshabalala looked brilliant at the World Cup for South Africa yet he failed to impress on a trial at Nottingham Forest so it's hard to judge.

The Hippo Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just see which players have EU nationality, which are plenty of them, and just scout them. Not too hard is it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
