[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 936459, member: 73592"] There have been plenty of Englishmen not wanting the likes of Shields, Hughes, Flutey, Hape, Waldron etc to be capped for England. Actually, I can't think of any foreign born player who arrived in England as an adult, who didn't get complaints from the English. Plenty of Scots didn't like the idea of Laney and a few others. The French are often upset about their capping of South Africans and Fijians etc. I think fans only criticise their own nations when there's no obvious link, and excuse those for whom there is (such as arriving in childhood eh. Coka arrived aged 3, his father was in the British Army) where it's blatantly not a poach. [/QUOTE]
