You talking about Lafata?

 

Could well be, saw it in the German football mag late last week that Nurembourg was interested. They have a tradition of signing all the better Czechs and Slovaks, but the club as such does not offer much in terms of silverware to them, just a better pay than what the Czech or Slovak clubs can usually afford. A market we should scout more often, much like Scandinavia.

I think the counter argument against these countries is that Scotland are above them in the UEFA rankings which suggests that we're doing better without them. The fact that Rangers are totting up all Scotland's points can be argued both ways - it means our team are much better than those countries but also means there's no point recruiting from the rest of our league as they are the equivalent of Wales or NI.

 

Those countries are much higher than us in the FIFA rankings but they are very suspect when you consider we are 16 places below Albania and 20 places below Burkina Faso as well as one place below NI...
