Another thread on Mikey, true. But I have to keep my hopes up. Losing my favourite 'Pool striker is a blow that can only be softened with the return of the only 'Pool player I have loved more than him. Mikey is on his way back - that's what The Times seems to think:

Read that in my paper this morning before my run, and then amused myself by thinking of Mikey while running (not in a gay way).
Stevie says he'll talk to him in the England training camp. No-one can turn down Stevie. No man, no woman.

But if it was my professional I'd take more interest, especially if a team made a bid for me. I am a big supporter of English football... I don't have much interest in international or European football, although I have some basic knowledge of the big european clubs.
Footballers do their research, they know the big teams. They'll have met many of the players in one way or another.

Makes sense.
I doubt many transfers go like this:
"Hey Emre, both Grimsby and Chelsea have made bids of 8m for you, interested?"
"Yeah sure, go for it. Grimsby sounds nicer, that'll do."
More likey:
"Who's offering the most £..?"

I think the point Dringo was making, albeit in a slighty special way, was that as soon as Newcastle lodged a bid for him he'd've found out everything he could about them.
Still not quite sure the relevance of that though as that's just common sense.

I'd imagine any foreign player wouldn't know the exact make-up of any non-top 5 Premiership team. They'd only have heard of famous players like Shearer, any they may have played against internationally, Given perhaps, and they may have heard about any high transfer fees going through - eg Parker, as he left a high-profile club like Chelsea. Might not remember it though, in the same way as I saw a news stroy about a few transfers going through in Italy, and they didn't really stick in my mind, apart from the high profile stuff like Vieri and Guilardino (or however the heck you spell it).
I suppose they might also know any fellow countrymen at the club, but in Emre's case there were no other Turks at Newcastle. Though Souness formally managed Galatasary - was Emre there at the time?

He might well be a casual supporter of football. A more important point, Dringo, is that you are a casual supporter. You've admitted as much before. You don't have a clue about European football. You don't know anything at all, you've just got this stupid stupid (it's very stupid) idea that Newcastle are good enough for Owen. Or Luque, to be honest.
Who was it that asked you about Udinese? Good question. You wouldn't have a clue. At all. Or Real Betis. If someone asks you about them, you'll probably say 'Doesn't Wackin support them?' and then fall over.
Shut up, Dringo.

I don't know what your point is anymore

But if someone made a £10 million bid for me I'd take a interest in said team.
haha, why?
A lot of footballers don't take an interest in football, Roy Keane for example, as they're often brought up.
And, being a footballer seems to lower the IQ slightly, so it's unlikely he'd remember them anyway.

No, but if I was an international footballer the chances are I would.
