We should be signing the best proven talent available that is willing to join us. The history and culture of our club can be learned as they go along; the willingness to learn and respect it can't be taught, regardless of nationality.
My only problem with us focussing on "british" players is this: since when have british players been the best in europe? our national team is a joke BECAUSE it is filled with english players. Why should filling LFC with english/british players suddenly make us the best?
