Alf totally agree but my point is there must be somewhere in Scotland and/or Wales players with the right coaching and direction could make the grade.Originally Posted by alfinyalcabo

We haven't ignored Scotland Lancaster, besides Easton we've had Scotty, Kevin McDonald and Steven Fletcher. But Scotland is a footballing backwater now, I don't see much point in trawling for players up there any more. Which Scottish players are currently making an impact in the PL, there are one or two dossing around but the only one of note is Robertson at Liverpool and it's my understanding that we'd almost signed him when Liverpool stepped in. We've also, allegedly, been in for Hanley, Snodgrass, Phillips and Cairney so it's not as though we're ignoring Scotland or Scottish players.

Scotland used to produce some real talent. i remember in the 60's/70's the top league was packed with them.
We had Blacklaw, Lochhead, Morgan for instance.
Dave Mackay, Denis Law, Souness, Dalglish, Bremner etc etc.
When Celtic won the European Cup in 1967 I believe that every player hailed from within a few miles of the ground.
What has happened up there?

Well... in 73 you joined the EU or the European Economic Community as it was called back then. Of course it could be a mere coincidence
