That makes no sense. Gyokeres was already in the UK with Brighton prior to Brexit, when Coventry signed him from Brighton and loan and then bought him for £1m. He was recruited from within the UK.
Fair points re Gyorkeres and well made. That'll teach me for not doing my research before making a number of off the cuff statements in a general comment aimed at no one in particular
.
Taken in deeper context what's nonsensical about suggesting there are still deals to be had from Europe in a post Brexit world when Swansea have recruited the uncapped Dutch born Piroe from the Eredivisie?
I haven't researched his background either so feel free to shoot that one down at your leisure. I won't get upset if you suggest I'm talking nonsense by the way.
As for Luton, having not delved into their budget for scouting and recruitment I believe they've made some shrewd signings in recent years. These won't have come about by accident and their position in the table won't be solely down to Rob Edwards.
They've recruited a manager whose style of play fits the squad they've already recruited. There's nothing nonsensical about that and it's the kind of joined up thinking we should apply to our own recruitment.
Why did I pluck Luton out of the air? Because of their position in the table which has been achieved on a budget presumably lower than the ones we've had at our disposal for years pooh poohing suggestions wim doomed to failure because our parachute payments have run dry.
For further reference see Coventry and some of the bargain basement players there who are delivering more than some of our own poorly and lazily recruited players have enabling Gyorkeres to showcase his talents.
With luck and a fair wind yesterday's post will now make more sense. But the point remains that there are still deals out there to be made. To suggest otherwise would quite frankly be a total and utter nonsense. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off for my morning workout. Seize the day
