-2-MalcolmYes, a good point. I do have some data on Championship which I'll report on in due coruse.-3-JosI did not include this data, but for the top 5 UEFA leagues, only France has fewer goals scored by nationals than is implied by the overall percentage of foreign players (assuming that it would be proportional.) This implies to me that Germany, England, Italy and Spain are the only countries who can retain an excess of national talent, whereas France is a net contributor of talent to other leagues.I am sure that money explains a lot of this, but there also must be room for politics (N Korea) and culture.
