Think for example of Real Madrid. If we still went with pre-Bosman rules,  they'd have to pick 3 out of:

 

Ronaldo

Benzema

Bale

Modric

Varane

Rodríguez

Kroos

Navas

Kovacic

Danilo

Casemiro

 

(Marcelo has a Spanish passport IIRC)

 

Now besides the fact they'd be weakened themselves, all the players they'd be giving up would be at smaller teams, a lot of them in their nation's leagues,  strengthening them. That's how football was before the Bosman ruling.

 

This is a very good point.

On the other hand though, you get instances where in Scotland they had to have a certain number of Scottish players a few seasons back. I remember a Rangers manager Walter Smith (I think), at the time, saying he had kids from the Academy on the bench strutting around the place like they'd made it, because they were in the matchday squad when really they were nowhere near ready/good enough yet.

Crooks strikes again.

Fucking hell, he's picked an actual functioning team. Haven't seen any games this weekend so don't know if the right players are there but its a big step forward for him

You're right. He has probably been better than great. Beat Norwich at home and now getting all chirpy? :papiss:

Noa, i'm just taking the piss, although you have been nowhere near as good as your league position would suggest suggests, the game against Everton, is the only game this season where you've looked decent.

Naw. Looked decent against the majority of the teams. Rooney hasn't been playing well and everyone criticises the whole team. It's almost like controlling games away at St. Mary's or Liverpool at home isn't recognised anymore. Lost twice in the league to Swansea away and Arsenal away. That's acceptable in the grand scheme of things.

 

Will win the league by 14 points.
