No.Will we see any international players come in after the euros?
No.
Unless they’re Welsh.
I did wonder how long it’s been since we had a player, playing in a major tournament.

Yeah maybe, I can’t think…Chris Birchall?First guess would be Stern John in 2006

Moldovan?Birch all didn’t sign for us until after the tournament. Bit like Paul Hall and Robert Jarni who joined us after France’98.
1998 World Cup finals a City player scored against England.
Moldovan?
Breen scored (obvs) in a World Cup too if I remember rightly.
Breen had already left had he? Well, I didn’t know that.Yep Moldovan scored with an excellent finish as Romania beat England in the group game. He remains the only Cov player to score at a World Cup tournament.
Two years later (although obvs no longer with us) he was brought down for the decisive penalty by Phil Neville as Romania knocked England out of the Euros.
Gary Breen did score for Ireland in a 3-0 win over Saudi Arabia in the 2002 Workd Cup but was officially “unattached” after leaving City weeks before.

Moldovan was a strange signing. Clearly quality but IIRC never seemed to breakthrough the Huckerby/Dublin partnership.
Will always have legend status though.
John was a very good player. Unfortunately he fell victim to the Morrell loving boo boys.Old Stern was close. I actually liked him here.

I'm keeping my eye on the stewards around the grounds... The Baku ones look decent.
Yeah he was impressive.I like the look of that Insigne fella last night. Anyone reckon we could get him? How old is he and how much would he cost?

Quite right. The last thing we need is a poor man’s Jamie Allen.Too old at 30. Plus he's 5"4. Need big athletic fuckers in this division
It's a no from me

We should be scouting at this level of player. There are a number of lesser known nations that are worth scouting. Turkey had a LWB I think who plays 2nd tier French football.
In fairness he’s not going to come up against the quality of the Italy attack too oftenAnd was commented upon as their weak link....

What are new rules for work permits I thought one stipulation was minimum salary of around £25k a year which I suspect covers most footballers.Not many players from lesser nations & lesser leagues will qualify for work permits.
