So it's back to the French leagues

We buy from the French leagues once again
They never learn do they
Just shows Carr has been here all along in some form

Well and the German League assuming this deal goes through.

Free's from the Premier League.

[ghostrider]

They never learn what?
We've had some cracking players from the French leagues.

I agree too many people looking for faults.

He is a roll call:
David Ginola
Laurent Robert
Hatem ben Arfa (?)
Yohan Cabaye
Sylvain Distin
Olivier Bernard
Mathieu Debuchy
Louis Saha
Didier Domi
Charles N’Zogbia
Yoan Gouffran
Sebastien Bassong
Alain Goma
Remy Cabella

To name a few and there were no slouches amongst that lot - give it a rest.

Success stories for us out of that lot.

I'd say, 6 or 7 out of 14. Thats being generous.

40 to 50 percent success rate which I suppose isn't too bad considering the fees involved for most of them.

Ben Arfa was an exciting enigma and I am not sure I'd consider him a success.

Whata I know.

Having Ginola alone was enough to make up for the rest.

Why did you omit Thauvin, Squidward and Riviere?

Lol

Make that 30% and decreasing.

I did say to name a few! Well Thauvin went on to become a decent player. As to Riviere and Squidward I forgot one pants the other average. But I still think that we have broke even on french players as to say spanish players or dutch ones etc. Personally I would like to see more variety but maybe having more than one player from a nation hopefully helps them to bond into the team quicker and so on, though that is not always the case.

Cannot think of anymore I am sure I have missed a couple of others.

Lets not forget our old friends Guivarch and Boumsong.
