    One of theirs for one of ours Danty - Lomax. Danty would be a big loss for them though. They would be giving away serious bulk in the midfield.

    @Machpants Their reasons are not that though. They do it to show how home grown the American teams are in comparison to other nations. They were also very much against the latest WR eligibility rule change that allowed players to change to the country of their or their (grand)parent's birth, because in their view that gives too much advantage to the Pacific Nations.
