The European Transfer market and Walsall

Thanks for the reply, the question I asked was how much Bonsor had invested.
You haven’t answered the question, you just waffled…

Never mind, lets leave it there.
We all know the answer…

If you want to continue, DM me, my DM’s are open.
Lets get the thread back on track.

The real link is https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/league-two/gastarbeiter/wettbewerb/GB4

This shows that most of the “foreigners” are from the UK nations and Ireland and the rest includes players such as DD who play for other nations but are British.

In a nutshell.

Scouting networks have changed from 20 years ago. Younger players playing in lesser known leagues are scouted and data sets prepared on them to a much more detailed level than when Taylor was about. Add this to the scouting networks of larger clubs all over Europe now and you can see how a lot of players are already on the radar or signed up to smaller clubs that are linked to larger ones.

Suspect this thread was started to again fly the flag for Sir Mullet of Jeff again. Yay Jeff.

I didn’t count the home nationals / Irish in that number of 50. You are right there may be some included like DD who hold UK passports / dual nationality.

Yep and Siggi will always get plaudits for that goal against Oldham to seal the deal for us

It wasn’t actually !!!. .Take out your negativity and read the thread for what it is .You’ll see countless outstanding European, south American and even oceania Footballers who were bought to Walsall in the Bonsor (Paul Taylor) period. Its perfectly valid to discuss the merits of this approach again. If it’s not possible, it’s not possible (Brexit or whatever) but perfectly valid discussions

I personally prefer bacon, way better than sausage.

Can’t have bacon, the budget has been cut, Budget sausage.

Zdrilic had been playing in 2 Bundesliga before coming to WFC, IIRC…

Surely the last European player we signed direct from Europe was Makris?

Not having a go but I understand that Karen died recently so probably best to remove that comment
