I knew the buy british campaign had many followers. But I did not know desperation of their cause. In all honesty, Kev Nolan is at best a decent squad player. AT BEST.
Even suggesting Nolan should come here and join LFC, one of the best clubs in the world is insane. He can't even find a place in Bolton FFS.
It just adds to the list of poor suggestions from the past. I remember the names all too well. Barton, Humphreys, Ricketts, Heskey, Murphy, Clough, Dawson, Bowyer, James, Anderton, and so on.
All these players have failed. Especially the british lads Houllier signed. 11 million for Heskey? That is the price you have to pay to get british. Proven by Everton's Beattie at 6 millions. Nuff said. The time is long gone when LFC had so much money that they could burn it on english squad players at hugely inflated prices.
If you want british. You have to rely on the academy. But unfortunately it is in a complete mess. The academy must be sorted out NOW. At present it is a waste bin for poor prospects. U 18 have lost almost all their games this season, completely unacceptable for LFC prospects. Academy players should graduate knowing the art of winning games. But they are now proven loosers. No player can be expected to come out of that team with good skills and a winning mentality. So the wait for the next talent might be long.
AND BY THE WAY:
Why don't we find a new british manager?
If we can find a) a british manager and b) a former LFC player that's great
Souness anyone?
Ring the bell!!!!
If football is banned in heaven. I'd rather go to hell.
