    I think I'm remembering correctly that once upon a time you could only have three foreigners in your squad. If I'm wrong, pretend I'm not. :bandit:

    That would be very unlikely to happen post brexit, but if it did, which 3 foreign players do you keep?


    Alison,
    VvD,
    and Salah?

    Or a different combination? I know several of you wouldn't give up Firm.

    He's a forum favourite... But I think it's harder to get a top quality goal scorer than a top quality creative type.

    Obviously they don't hold a candle to Firm but we have Ox and Lala who could perform Firm's duties... But I cant think of a Brit in our squad who can score goals and break through defences like Salah (or Mane) can.

    I'm just glad there's an element of doubt still.

    Cmon lads...


    Think about that the team would be.

    Alisson 100%
    Taa that's ok
    Gomez also ok
    Vvd 100%
    Robertson, UK sweaty. Still ok
    Henderson (puke)
    Milner ok.
    Would need to big up a cm... Jones say.
    For me anyone who doesn't keep say needs to give their head a wobble.
    Put ox in up top wide ok
    Sturridge (puke)

    You get your 3 and rest all UK passport holders.

    Where's the big deal.... well..... the bench gets interesting

    Pretty sure it was 3 non eu players wasn’t it?

    But just for arguements sake, VVD, Salah, Firmino.

    Allison is awesome but you can go buy a half decent English keeper, say butland where as getting any kind of creative forward player from uk you are severely limited.

    Alisson & Van Dijk are the best in the world, definitely no competition from UK players

    I think Mané would be the most flexible in adapting to our new attack

    We might as well activate the Solanke buy-back too

    Yeah, I value Mane highly he doesn't have lazy games even when the team is performing badly he's putting in a shift and grtting dangerous. In many cases he can be better than Salah despite Salah's bigger name.

    it was 3 non UK before bosman.

    souness would Steve Staunton and bought Julian fat dicks on the basis of Staunton being Irish.

    you are right that there was a 3 non eu rule I think.

    Fair point. I choose Salah because he’s top scorer this season, broke the goal scoring record last season, creates the highest number of chances for us and chips in with assists.
