We have already signed Alonso, Morientes, Garcia, Josemi and Nunez, and every player we seem to get linked with is also Spanish. I have no problem with this currently, but it looks like we are going to get to the stage where half of our squad is Spanish. If/when Rafa leaves the club, it then leaves us with a situation where most of Spanish players will probably want to leave too (don't forget most of them signed because they are a fan of Rafa rather than the club) and we will have to rebuild a squad from scratch. Do we really want to get into that sort of situation? I don't think so...come on Rafa, spread your scouting net a bit wider!

The Spanish market is probably one of the cheapest out there thats why we have most of our scouts there but I understand what you're pointing out. But we're thinking about what happens years from now[depending how long Rafa stays, he says he wants to stay for 15 years] and there isn't much we can do.

Ahahahaha. I think that the Spanish colonized South America many centuries ago. Maybe 1/50th.
