Another short left footed right winger on loan… why the devil not! If this happens I’ll remortgage my house to get his name on the back of a shirt.

Or perm as we are going to have to look at it long term once the loans go back.

The only part that’s believable, is that the club has been known to try and bring in players from the same country before.  Not the best way to run a club but we’ve seen it with Nigeria, Denmark and Belgium I guess an attempt to make a better environment for the players to thrive (not that it worked) 

 

so maybe we were at least interested at one point

Not sure what pattern you're seeing here.

Plenty of Nigerians about in English football in general. We've only signed Ndidi and Musa as 'foreign' Nigerians as far as I recall. One was a major success, the other a flop, but we recouped the fee.

We signed Hermansen and Kristiansen from Denmark (pretty big time gap to Amartey), with one of the two being a resounding success. If you add Vestergaard and Kasper (neither came from Denmark), then it's the same situation - one hit, one miss.

It's the same for Belgians - Tielemans was a massive hit, Castagne was fine, Praet and Faes less so.

 

Seems pretty 50/50 to me :dunno:

We seemed to have a collection of 3 nationals at a time. Maybe a coincidence… but I think more likely they were trying to create an atmosphere and more synergy for the pitch.  Maybe Top really likes playing ultimate team lol

 

I think there’s enough there to show they were trying something.  We also were often linked with other Belgians (that winger at at ac, dekaterkere). Ask yourself why we are targeting all of this then completely ignoring signing a German player for example?  You can’t tell me there’s less talent in Germany. I think it was very much corrdinated.

That could also just be down to culture in some cases.

English football has a long tradition of attracting Scandinavians players while Belgium has a rich history of producing top level talent and exporting them to the major leagues, with a large influx over the last two decades.

The German leagues are of a high quality so local talent mostly stays in Germany - much like English players mostly stay in England.

 

Then there's the price factor. Belgian and Scandinavian clubs aren't in a position to ask for as much as German clubs who will be wealthier.

One of the things I hate about our recruitment strategy is we buy too many players who are taking a step down to play for Leicester. The trajectory of their career is going in the wrong direction. I much prefer players who are on the up who have something to prove.
