The French youth market would be a good one to use to pick out some future stars.

Yes please. Kenny Quetant sounds like a charming but doomed bit of rough in a Joe Orton play. I'm amazed it's taken our recruitment boffins so long to start adopting some of my own scouting strategies. I've emailed them often enough.

He sounds like a jazz fusion band leader.

Yeah, fusing jazz with crafty hand-jobs at the opera and weekends locked in Great Yarmouth boarding houses with a big bag of purple hearts, a loaded gun and a prominent member of the House of Lords.

I wouldn't know.

I do worry about some of your thought processes!! 🤭😂

We've had loads of French players. We need a Uruguayan to complete the set of proper football countries. I wouldn't mind a Mexican and maybe a South Korean, too, just for a change. Maybe Greece so we can complete all the Euro winners that still exist.

France? Meh.

We've not had many Germans of late.

None since Hitzlsperger? Not sure if there have been any youth. I think the women had one.

There's some good young Greek players coming through so that might happen. We've been linked to a young Greek defender and forward (about 18) who are suppose to be some talents.

We're overdue for a Scandinavian as well, for a long time it was a mainstay of the squad for us to have at least 1.

[cdbearsfan]

They had a couple that caught my eye when they played Scotland, even allowing for the Scotland will play shit to annoy me factor. One was 17. I don't think we can sign any under-18s any more though, another Brexit bonus.

Can't believe you've already forgotten Olsen and he hasn't even left yet!

Oops


Lets revise that to a good scandinavian player. We had the left back on loan as well but he's one I think we'd all do well to forget.

Unfotunately with one or two obvious (Norwegian) exceptions they're largely
a) crap
b) over the hill
c) both.

That Sverre Nypan might break that mould for us though.
