Our Academy - we are casting our net further for foreign players

[Dan]

It can only be a good thing IMO, not saying we should ever have more foreigners than our own lads but I think having different style of play will help some players in some areas. Foreign players generally have better technical skills but are physically weaker.

Apparantly we also have another Lithuanian U-17; midfielder Tomas Dombrauskis. Don't know much about him, started for the U17 in the UEFA championship.

Oh, and for what it's worth, Stanky put four past Armenia in the qualifying round of the UEFA U17 championship. http://www.uefa.com/...4926/index.html

Could be quality.

Its good to have a larger talent pool of course but the club need to avoid"the doughnut" effect from looking on the outside and leaving a hole on your own doorstep. Plenty of potential prospects to be found on Rushey Fields, New Parks, Oadby, Hinckley, Brauny, etc Lets not forget that.
