Another call-up for Matej Vydra

Alex Kral, for me, could be the next Czech to make an impact in the EPL if given the chance. Would be nearer the Soucek fee, if not a little more.

There has always decent Czech and Romanian players that could and do make it in the top flight
It's just that we dont scout them due to a myriad of factors not least the xenophobia around Burnley

I have to say i did recommend Soucek for about 2 years prior to his West Ham move, and a few before, but perhaps understandably always got ignored. Ah well

That's a shame but this deeper seated distrust of foreign players runs deep
Stan even refused to play Dimi Pap who at the time was scoring for fun with Greece
He also didn't play the Padiham Predator because he wasnt local

Email Mr Garlick about him, I'm sure he would be interested.

I think Holes would fit into our defence.

Several overseas players have been recommended down the years. Granted scouts will generally know more about players than the average fan. But not always.

Aye, a friend of the wrong persuasion tried recommending Wilfried Bony to that lot when he was still at Sparta to no avail. Im less sad about that one lol

good work, even on a thread about a player being called up for his country you have managed a whinge :D
