Club most associated with a foreign nation.

Thiago Silva just left Milan, but it seems like Milan is a hotbed for Brazilians. I skimmed through Milan's last 10 years of players and here's just some of the names that have played for them:

Ronaldinho
Ronaldo
Rivaldo
Robinho
Kaka (and his brother)
Alexandre Pato
Cafu
Serginho
Emerson
Leonardo
Roque Junior
Dida
Mancini
And of course, Thiago Silva

Damn, thats a lot of Brazilians. Are there any other clubs who have major influxes of foreigners from a certain nation???

Polonia Dortmund in recent times?

Milan: Gullit, Van Basten, Rijkaard.

Nobody can beat Catania. In some games they used to start with 11 Argentinians

Arsenal and their French boys.

Athletic Bilbao sure do like Spainards

Chelsea have had a fair few Portuguese recently with Carvahlo, Paulo Ferria, Thiago, Bossingwa, Deco and Mou and once you factor in our Brazilian players (Alex, Ramires, Belleti, Piazon and David Luiz) you've got alot of Portuguese speakers

Techincally they are Spanish and just a question, is Llorente a Basque?

He plays for Bilbao so I would assume he is.

Liverpool had a lot of Spanish players.

We've had a fair few Brazilans with us down through the years.

Cafu

As pointed out just once, when I think of Barca, I do remember on that Dutch generation. We've had a fair few amount of Netherlands players come here. Not too many in the recent years though.

Pretty sure Madrid had a lot of Dutch players at some point and Brazilians.

Drenthe, Robben, Sneijder, Huntelaar and VDV.

RC, Marcelo, Ronaldo, Robinho, Emerson. Kaka since 09.

Catania has 12 Argentine players in their current squad alone, let alone history

Also, FC Ramos is most associated with Brazil
