    Not disputing but how do you know that or whether or not he holds both? He could certainly get a British passport if he hasn’t already no questions asked. He will also have a British birth certificate which will class him as British

    Correction, looks like he was born in a Copenhagen. Still he’s been here his whole life so wouldn’t be affected by Brexit

    De Gea would be the last one you'd want to go I'm sure. It's really hard to get a British keeper anywhere near that level.

    I assume they have British citizenship so would be OK.

    Put your best UK XI

    I think some squads would be dipping into their under 12's, for that.

    We've actually got quite a few decent British players now, times have changed. It would have been harder 4 or 5 years ago.

    It's up front where we would be worst off... And goalkeeper would take a hit.

    Agree with the three @NSIS said. We’d line up with something like:

    Whiteman (not being racist, I swear)
    Trippier, Vertonghen, Davies, Rose
    Dier, Winks
    Edwards, Eriksen, Son
    Kane

    it's okay, uncle romans mates with aaron banks and farage. We'd get some sort of special dispensation.

    Other than that i reckon Kante, Hazard, Rudiger

    As for our english team

    Don't even know what english keepers we have
    Chalobah Ampadu Rudiger Barkley
    Kante Mount Loftus Cheek
    Hudson Abraham Hazard

    (i ran out of brits i knew)

    I don’t discuss Brexit anymore. I’ve been clean for 10 weeks.

    Assuming EU players will be treated just like non-EU foreigners its clubs like ours and the lower leagues that will be affected most as our EU players will probably not fulfill the Work Permit criteria of current international or international games played. Top teams will be fine as they can afford the best foreign players.
    So I hope we would go with:
    Woodman
    Lascelles
    Dummett
    Longstaff
    Aarons
    Murphy
    Shelvey
    Hayden
    Lejeune
    Rondon
    Schar

    Probably not that much ****ter than we are at the moment but even less goals than we score at the moment.

    Don't you know the rules of Brexit ffs! No EU players but we can have as many other foreigners as we want, brexiteers are delighted as fck to do that.

    So... Lukaku (dual Congolese can stay), Pogba (claim Guinean status, can stay), Matic (Serbia not part of EU, can stay), Bailly (Ivorian can stay), Valencia (|Ecuadorian can stay), Sanchez (Chilean can stay), Fred (Brazilian, can stay),

    Keep Martial, Herrera, De Gea.

    It'll be tough, but will leave us with De Gea, Young, Bailly, Smalling, Jones, Shaw, Pogba, Matic, Herrera, Valencia, McTominay, Martial, Sanchez, Fred, Rashford, Lingard, Lukaku.

    Gutted to see Mata go but it would be with a heavy heart :(

    Obviously if we go out with No Deal on 29th of this month then all EU players will have to stop playing until they have got their Work Permits in place, but will have to take their TOEFL test and Living in Britain test first. It is unlikely that they will be able to do this by the end of the season as there will be a 20 mile queue at the Immigration and Labour Departments.

    Yeah and Soyuncu may be added to the list down the line. It’s quite a compliment to the club and the work Puel did that we actually have only 3 non home grown players that are worthwhile. Tbf you could swap Ndidi out for Choudhury as well. Albrighton is a solid squad player and Ward isn’t a bad back up in goal.

    What, Shane? I think being Irish, he’d have some sort of special status anyway, that was always the case before the EU’s freedom of movement.

    Plus, you know; I love him, but a striker who doesn’t score goals?
