coreytst Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Can't put my finger on it, the player is Insua who i signed from liverpool, he's Spanish & when i select him he's not listed as one of my minimum players (i know he won't be a player trained by me) he's got a second nationality of argentinian but his first is spanish, annoying me as i've got to get rid of a player i need to put a player who qualifies as one of the minimum players.

Neyles Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 He probably didn't have his football upbringing in Spain (3 years under the age of 21) to qualify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy slappy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 When did you sign him? It could be that he has already played for Liverpool in the competition already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stomalomalus Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Emiliano Insua is Argentinian and played for Boca juniors before Liverpool so has never played in Spain in his life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreytst Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 So even though he's spanish, players will still need to have played three season's in that country to actually qualify as being from that country? I did think that but if he is Argentinian like Stomalomalus said then it doesn't say Insua has declared for Spain, that threw me a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flair Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Only other thought is that because its Barca they need to be Catalan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stomalomalus Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The rule isnt 8 players from that clubs nation as its against labour laws, but for players who have trained in those countries. Therefore, Arsenal qualify as they have many players who, while not English, have played 3 years or more at Arsenal before they were 21. So Messi counts for Barca, and Milito might, as didnt he play for 4/5 years at Zaragoza? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
