Not factually correct. Apparently, Sundays starting line up was the first time in a long time a Prem club fielded a side consisting of only UK nationals.Quote:

How many of their signings this Summer, are British?Quote:

An obvious thing to say, but they need to aim to finish above 3 teams.Quote:

A mid-table finish would be a successful season. 50/50 whether that will happen I think.
Didn't QPR do something similar to this, replacing the side that got them promoted with a load of foreign players only interested in the money and furthering their own career when Derry was there? I think he spoke about it on MC, that there was no togetherness in that squad whatsoever.
Hopefully something similar will happen with Fword.
Much better teams than F-word will get thrashed by Man City this season.Quote:

Obviously highly rated players they are bringing in - but are they as good as, say, Saint Maximin (Newcastle). For every rocket like him you get ten duds. Think I'd rather be where Fulham are. They have kept faith with players like Mitrovic and it's beginning to pay off.
A fair amount.. I can categorically say that ALL of the signings in pre-season have not been foreign.Quote:
