Will 2,958 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Brunners said: Scandinavia is a little harder for WP reasons; the Argentine & Brazilian leagues are ranked far higher than any of the Scandinavian leagues, so you need to make up a lot more points in the other categories to qualify. This, the WP regulations seem to deliberately favour the South American leagues (particularly Argentina and Brazil as you say). If we want promising young foreign players in the future, there's a really good chance we'll keep looking over there as their leagues provide a really good starting point for earning the points required for a WP, unlike some of the smaller European leagues like the Scandinavian leagues. For example, a player who played every domestic minute for the Danish league champions would be on 10 points and would require some CL/Europa appearances or international appearances for a decent nation to push themselves over the 15 required.

Leo must have spotted something he liked in the player and recommended him to our scouts/Warnock. Oh no now I’m not excited. After all wasn’t it Leo that recommended Carlos De Pena 🤦♂️ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

sambaDTR 260 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Would make sense to get two young South American players at the same time, as it may help them to settle into the area better. Link to post Share on other sites
Rishworthian 166 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 we got Carlos de Pena from Nationale who I think are in Uruguay. Interestingly he's now at Dynamo Kiev I've a feeling Leo is Uruguayan too - Ramierez certainly was Link to post Share on other sites

Then I try to think of something funny or witty to post but as usual fail to find something along them lines, so I proceed to write a reply on here which turns out to be a written version of verbal diarrhoea. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites
