Lets drop this Scots business shall we?

Recommended Posts

First of all, we should not be surprised that our Scots coach and out Scots manager, who between them know pretty much all there is to know about Scottish football, are targeting those scottish players that they feel would be good for the team. It is to be expected. Wenger bought French players for Arsenal, Houllier the same for Liverpool, Benitez has since bought Spaniards to Liverpool. As theses managers have become establised in their new league, they have cast their nets further, but note that the first players they buy tend to be from where they know best - their homelands. Benitez bought Garcia and Alonso straight off, Mourinho bought Carvalho and Fereirra straight off. In the case of Houllier, a lot of those he bought in turned out not to be not up to standard - Pongolle,  Le Tallec to name but two. And if the same happens with Grant he will have to answer  for it. In the meantime, lets back his and Duffy''s judegement before going all xenophobic about our friends from the north. It leaves a nasty taste.

Grant bought Lappin and Fotheringham straight off. One out of two ain''t bad I suppose.
