[QUOTE="Bumbadum, post: 259519"] Prestwick, nowhere have I specifically referred to Flutey, and nowhere have I mentioned that I look at the others any differently. The colour of the guys skin has nothing to do with anything, it hadnt even crossed my mind. I have also not suggested that Flutey is a mercenary - his case just attracts scrutiny due to him appearing to toddle off to France once his residency and his England spot are secure. My point is that this residency rule is wide open to abuse by mercenary players and others. Nationalities are not for sale - yet - but how long until clever agents approach young guys and tell them theres a fat cheque at the end of a three year holiday on the other side of the world? I just cant be convinced that a three year residency in isolation is sufficient criteria (in all but the most extreme cases) to qualify for a new nationality, I guess we'll have to just disagree on it.
