BottledDog Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Just realised why we sign most of our players from France, It's not the lower transfer fees/wages, It's because the French flag is the same colour as the sports direct brand. On a more serious, releated note. Did someone not say he's recently invested in some well-known French brand? Probably why tbf, raising profiles and all that. I think the recent one he bought was 'No Fear' (who I think are American). SD though are looking to open stores in France, but I really don't think that relates to us or affects our transfer policy. The very simple reason we are buying players from the French league, or players like Santon and Tiote from other leagues is that with good scouting, we can pick up impressive young(ish) players who are willing to come to us, for relatively reasonable prices. Considering the only players we have actually bought from France under Ashley are Cabaye and Ben Arfa (Abeid, Marveaux were unattached but I guess could also be included), I'd be delighted if we feel we can pick up any more players like that from there. Bullshit. How's that then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andyburn Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 And we think having players injured is bad... Wednesday, September 8: Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team had left their local airport when the plane crashed shortly after takeoff on their way to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, where they were to play their opening game of the Kontinental Hockey League season. Of the 45 on board, 37 were players, coaches and team officials. Sad day. A whole team, coaches, staff, wiped out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
