He will now, the majority of players do after they leave Manchester. For example Silvestre was very difficult when at Man Utd, but now that he's at Arsenal he walked the two entire length of barriers and signed pretty much for everyone.

Man Utd often have their own security who (I assume) tell players not so sign. It's only the ones who go against this that you are likely to get. {thumb2}

[quote="joshh_911"]Some English teams have been known to send secretarial autographs too!

In Spain and Italy the big clubs don't have reputation for signing autographs (both In-person and TTM). For example their training grounds are often small stadiums which spectators can pay to watch, without the ability to get near players after training. That doesn't really happen in England, especially not for the big clubs.

However when Spanish and Italian teams (at least in my experience) have flown over to England players were much easier to get. The Italian team Sampdoria queued in a line behind each other to sign autographs for me- not sure how they are TTM but they were fantastic in-person, even tried to communicate with me (though a bit of a struggle as I don't speak Italian, and only one or two players spoke English!).

So no, it doesn't reflect characteristics of different nationalities. Just because Dong Fangzhuo refused to sign IP doesn't mean all Chinese players are grumpy lol.

thx for your comment.
btw,i remember that dong fangzhuo would sign ip,but i'm not sure.
:(

Clubs like AC Milan or Barca are overwhelmed with numerous requests from around the world per week. Perhaps even more so than some big English clubs! So I think in order to keep the fans content, and to not trouble their players with 'extra work' (pffft! :roll: ), they just make sure that they get as many secretarials out there as swiftly as possible. In their eyes, perhaps sending a 'fake' authentic (oxymoron, I know) looks better for their image amongst fans than a disappointing preprint.
