And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
Originally posted by darmstadt View PostThere are players in the Bundesliga who have British parents and are eligible to play for England, in fact one now plays for Tottenham: Lewis Holtby, but they decided not to and instead are picked for the German national team, why? They'll quite happily play in the PL but not for England...
It means that all the fuss about the Man Utd player (and Lewis Holtby), is a watse of time as their not eligible anyway.If at first you don't succeed... skydiving is not for you!Comment

Originally posted by TheBigD View PostI think the current rule in England is that players need to have had 5 years schooling here before the age of 18 to be eligible to play four our national team.

I haven't read all the above, but doesn't this indicate that team managers are being lazy and are just buying in talent instead of investing in home grown talent?I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

At the end of the day the homegrown talent is not good enough.Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostLewis Holtby is eligible as his father is from Liverpool but decided to play internationally for Germany as that is where he was born, brought up and lives (also his mother is German.) Aaron Hunt who plays for Bremen has a German father and British mother but also made the same decision whereas Owen Hargreaves who was born in Canada to British parents decided to play for England rather than Canada or Wales. One of the funnier stories concerns Sean Dundee who was a South African who played in Germany and wanted to play for Germany so he took German citizenship. As soon as that came through he got called up for national service and had to do it, while he was doing it his girlfriend buggered of with someone else as she never saw him and after finishing it his career took a nosedive.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
