How many UK based players have to withdraw from Kerr's squad before he picks eL players & puts them into the starting 11?

Sorry, but the EL players would be swamped by the likes of the current French team, They are just not INTERNATIONAL class players.
As much as I follow the EL, & dislike the "Greed is Good League", the standard of play far out strips that of the EL.
Bite my head off for the remark, but that's my opinion.

dont like to admit it but dont think anyone in league of ireland is better than what we have in the squad at the moment . We have players of great potentail like wes hoolahan and john o flynn but they are just not good enough to play competitively yet though weso is getting closer and closer.

Agreed, I think they would be chasing shadows.
