Good. Next!

 

[BlueThru&Thru]

Season over...

 

[Profondo Rosso]

I forgot he existed.

 

[spionfox]

I forgot he existed.

I can't forget about him until at least October 1st

 

[Graz]

I forgot he existed.

Same here. Don't think he was involved in pre-season at all?

 

[Kingy_85]

His goal against Burton was sublime! Really top class finish.

Fluke.

With loads of english players without clubs, it is about time that clubs stopped acquiring "average" players from foreign soil & concerntrated on coaching the best out of home grown players

The ones without clubs aren't very good, else they'd have clubs lower down. The ones in clubs are too expensive.

Some players may have been offered contracts by clubs lower down, but are waiting to see if they get a better offer.
Some may have priced themselves out of getting a club, and will now be looking for something more realistic.

And then there are players we have at the club already, who may have been able to do as well as Futacs did. If clubs stopped signing overseas players there wouldn't be so much unemployment amongst English players.

Good move for all as he was miles from our starting line-up or even match day squads and after watching bits of the U21s last night, would much rather see Hopper or another yute given a chance as the league experience would benefit them massively.

 

[Mawsley]

Why is it important to give players jobs just because they're English?

To be fair, a lot of people also support the English national side and want to see them perform better than they have in recent years and there's more chance of doing that if clubs producing English players, so I don't think it's a case of "they took our jobs" type jingoism that happens a lot.

However if you don't care about the national team I agree it seems strange to me. It also seems strange when people say "British players" as opposed to "English players," Scottish, Welsh and N. Irish players are as foreign as Ghanian players in footballing terms as far as I'm concerned.

They'll never increase the demand to play English players because there aren't enough at high enough quality to immediately fill the champion's league teams. I can't think of one world class English defender under 30 , let alone enough to fill 5 or 6 teams at the top of the premier league.

I can't think of one genuinely world class English player full stop.

Not saying I don't agree was just saying why people want to see English players come through.

I know. I have zero interest in international football so fall into your latter bracket!

But Danny Mills said "Everyone in the country wants to see England doing well" yesterday on 5-live so you must be wrong.
