Talk:List of Serbian football transfers winter 2019–20

Danicic and Bardanca
OK, we have a clear conflict here where it is supposed to be allegedly demonstrated my double-standard regarding flags display on the lists. All I can do is explain my reasoning, and that is what I will do. To start with, the difference between the two is that Bardanca case is about the main senior national team, while Danicic case is about U-19 level. Some may say, what is the difference? Well, the difference is that when you play official games for the A senior national team, it is extremelly rare and allowed only on special circunstances to switch to another national team. Weather at U19 level, even if you play official games, you are allowed to switch to another national team at next level, sometimes even at same level, meaning, playing for nation Y at U19, can alow you to play for nation X later on, and you may even switch to nation Y later at U 21. Rules at youth levels are deffinitelly not as strict as they are at A senior national teams.

What we have in Diego Bardanca case is that he is a player born in Spain with eligibility to represent Spain obviously, but also Philippines due to family links. During past year, contacts were made between Philippino FA and the player for him to become full member of the Philippino main A senior team. Bardanca travelled to the Philippines and trained with the local national team. In June, he receved an officiall call-up for the Philippines national football team for a friendly game against China. What PFF official site says is that Barcanca was part of the group of foreign-based players. Game information tells us he was not part of the game but we lack further explanation. For all we know, he became a Philippino player who´s debut got postponed until some next occassion that may arrive, or not.

On the other side, we have a player, Damjan Daničić, who is one of those not-that-simple Balkans cases. He was born in Zagreb, capital of Croatia, but has begin his career at youth levels in Serbian capital Belgrade, reaching even to become Red Star youth teams player. At thid point nowadays, that is the fact that gives him most notoriety, because regrdless Red Star being behind its rivals FK Partizan world-wide renowned academy, it still is an powerfull institution known for collecting talents from all arround in their youth teams. Danicic spent an episode at Red Star youth squad, but failed to secure himself a spot, and it was released, but promptly picked-up by a club located right on the neighbourhood of Red Star stadium, FK Voždovac, who happeneds to be a top-level side known for favoring talented youngsters. Not having been offered a renewal of contract at Red Star, Danicic counted in hs CV with an honouring participation during that time in a Serbian U-19 training camp in which numerous players from domestic clubs were analised to check their potential. Danicic participated at the camp but failed to be selected for the outcoming official matches and untill date no more calls has he receved. He ended not making any official appearances for Serbia at any youth level, and the media never undiscolsed the reasons for such, however, when the information about his move to Croatian side GNK Dinamo Zagreb became public, an information regarding him holding Croatian citizenship became public. So, resumingly, we have a Zagreb-born player, who tried his luck in Serbia with questionable sucess, and who in January 2020 is signed by the major club of his birth-town, well-known Dinamo Zagreb, to join their squad. Having in mind that he never represented Serbia officially, and that he is returning to his birthtown where he will play as domestic due to a confirmed information of him having possession of Croatian citizenship, makes no sense to point him as foreigner or any other than Croatian. If he had succeded in Serbia and got to be chousen to represent the country at national level (whatever age), it would be another story, but since he didn´t, and he is just returning to a club which will consider him domestic, there is little option left.

GNK Dinamo Zagreb who wants to retake the history of a previous most popular Zagreb club, the one that did what did to Svetozar Džanić, now wants to use Danicic to show how modern and open they are, by presenting as Serbian a player that isborn in their town but had to search for better life in Serbia, and now that he failed to become a star they want to politically exploit him? No. He is a Zagreb born player who Dinamo Zagreb is just bringing back to his hometown, he is not a Serbian-born player Dinamo iz welcoming, so I will not take part of any charade of that.
