No one can press from the front in a Hughton team. If you do, you're doing it alone which is a total waste of time and energy.

Wow I'm a racist now because I think players bought from the championship are less risky
Okkkkkk then!!

Dragging Brexit on to a decent football thread. Unnecessary and unwelcome. Very poor form.................

Pulling someone up on xenophobia is poor form?

Xenophobic maybe. I never said you're a racist lad.
And you said "have proved they can score in an English league". You didn't mention the Championship. So Lee Novak? Thoughts?

Completely agree with what you say but it depends on what you class as ‘attitude problem’. I’d call what you describe as more a petchulance or lack of engaging brain. But that’s just splitting hairs. He will he class for us next season - mark my words!
Won’t happen to Utd if they are getting Bale. (Fingers crossed).

you're embarrassing yourself.
I'm guessing no one is interested in Lee Novak then? Proven in the English leagues, speaks English, probably acclimatised, albeit he's from up North which basically makes him a foreigner. Scored 13 goals this season by the way. Brilliant. And not a foreigner too, which makes it even better.

Does seem to have a knack of being in the right place at the right time, and very reminiscent of GM, but younger and more pace!
On the plus side for him, at least he will get away from that god awful away kit.

So everyone keeps saying. But why exactly are foreign players from abroad more risky than English players from the English leagues for a club that wants to establish themselves in the Premier League? His argument is that they're able to speak the language and they're better adapted to the country. Well, here's just one of the 1000s of examples of players from abroad who have done rather well - Kun Aguero STILL can't speak English in interviews and yet he's turned out to be pretty good.
All I've done is pull the guy up on that utterly stupid and baseless comment.

The guy made the point that experience in English football and the absence of any possible language barrier is an advantage. That is not controversial, and if anything is utterly stupid and baseless it's calling him xenophobic for saying it. You owe him an apology IMO.

By making an utterly stupid and baseless accusation of xenophobia? Sorry, don't quite get the logic on that one...
No, what you've done is seriously over-reacted to an entirely fair and innocuous comment; it might be worth debating the merits of the point (eg by pointing out, as you eventually did, that a star player from abroad can still excel ... but then, for every Aguero there's a Locadia), but the point itself is fair. And that's coming from a Remain-voting, Pro-Europe, Born-Abroad person.

Watching that he reminded me of a young Glenn Murray!! I know that’s his ‘best bits’ but I could totally see why we’d be interested.
I like the fact he seems to score all sorts - headers, tap ins, placed, follow ups, also seems happy to run with the ball. Looks mobile too. It’s a gamble because he’d be up against better defenders and keepers but there is not that much difference between bottom 6 of EPL and top 6 of Championship. He’d get goals I reckon.

Yes, that unknown talent Kun Aguero who man city took a gamble on..... It's a real miracle he's turned out well despite the language barrier.
This thread has not gone well for you.
