NurembergVillan Posted July 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's genuinely so strange to hear about us going for young foreign starlets. I love it!! Yes just as long as the core of the team remains British. this is important in my opinion.I couldn't give a stuff where they came from as long as they are good, improve us and enable us to compete a lot higher up the table Absolutely I agree but for this to happen the majority of the squad should dare I say "need" to be British. This is a British club competing in a British league. To fill the team with a smorgasboard of nationalities cannot help team bonding. No. Pos Player 2 DF Micah Richards (vice-captain) 4 DF Vincent Kompany (captain) 5 DF Pablo Zabaleta 6 DF Joleon Lescott 7 MF James Milner 9 FW Emmanuel Adebayor 10 FW Edin Džeko 11 MF Adam Johnson 13 DF Aleksandar Kolarov 14 FW Roque Santa Cruz 15 DF Stefan Savić 16 FW Sergio Agüero 18 MF Gareth Barry 19 MF Samir Nasri 21 MF David Silva 22 DF Gaël Clichy 25 GK Joe Hart 28 DF Kolo Touré 30 GK Costel Pantilimon 32 FW Carlos Tévez 34 MF Nigel de Jong 38 DF Dedryck Boyata 40 MF Vladimír Weiss 42 MF Yaya Touré 43 FW Alex Nimely 45 FW Mario Balotelli 50 MF Abdisalam Ibrahim 62 MF Abdul Razak — MF Michael Johnson I'd take that squad and the six British players who actually got anywhere near the first team...

This is a British club competing in a British league. To fill the team with a smorgasboard of nationalities cannot help team bonding. Can't agree with this. Not being able to bond successfully as a team because of different nationalities is a ridiculous notion. I have no doubt whatoever that statistics would show that in modern football there is no advantage in having a 'core' of players native to the league a certain team is playing in. Arsenal's invincibles certainly didn't. Inter has had a core of Argentinians for the last 10-15 years and have done alright. The idea that you can't bond with someone because they're foreign is absurd. Or that someone who's foreign can't form part of the core of the team. Petrov has been a stronger presence in the Villa side for the past six years than any British player has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted July 9, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ah buggar disappointed about this, looked a good little player, hopefully PL has someone similar lined up for a bit of attacking flair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewavfc Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Maybe someone like Samir Carruthers has impressed PL enough in the first couple of training sessions and he feels he could spend the money better elsewhere?! You know as an alternative to it being completely fabricated in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 On that point, I expect both Carruthers and Dan Johnson to make strides this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
