hillside blue Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I think we need to be careful what we wish for here. Should clubs be limited to who they can sign from overseas, will this not create a shortage of players? It is not just our club that signs players from abroad, but many other clubs also. A shortage of players could lead to either a drop in the standard of players available, but also an increase in the financial demands of the players that are. Yes we have signed some poor players in recent times, but that has always been the case regardless of nationality. As Boyinthesnow points out, we have Bahamboula, who is a very good signing and someone we miss when he is not available, Tuesday night being a good example. A gem that will be hard to find if the players available are reduced. We do not have the luxury of vast resources that the larger clubs have, football is an uneven playing field in terms of resources available to many clubs, I feel it is about to get even harder.

Phil Clarke Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I voted remain, but this I feel is a positive in leaving, develop players instead of raiding others, many of whom we have found to our cost are not up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have largest football pyramid anywhere in the world. Hundreds upon hundreds get released every year without getting fixed up. In a country that is football mad and with a population of 60 million, I don’t think player availability will ever be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 If they could couple it with restricting the numbers of young players the big clubs are allowed to keep on their farms, there would be plenty of home grown players available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still to be convinced that Southgate is the right man for the job though. Injuries have played a part in him being unable to play a settled side but he does need to find the right goalkeeper, central defensive partnership and someone to play the number 10 role. On that final requirement, fwiw, I would give Harry Kane a go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas Southgate will probably drop him from his plans after one off day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 There is huge potential in what is still a very young England squad. We are world class at U17/U18 level and maybe that is starting to come through to the senior squad. My faith in Southgate has wavered of late but I think we should stick with him through to the next World Cup. I would drop Pickford, tell Sterling to work on his shooting (rather than scuffing it to the goalkeeper) and if we could find a midfield ball-winner like Kante in his prime that would be a huge boost. I agree with BP that Grealish must start every game. Rice and Dier are not international class for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Their really is nothing wrong with signing foreign players aslong as you scout them and pick them properly. A shame clubs will have a smaller pool of players to pick from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
