Hi Eds/ All,
What is everyone's thoughts on less foreign player now coming through the youth system? What I mean to say is, are there less foreign and more players from England / Home Nations coming through most youth systems rather than stock piling of foreign youngers.
You look at Liverpool for example and the young players looking to break into the first team. Trent-Arnold, Gomez, Solanke and Woodburn.
Is this a result of changes in rules.

It's always been mainly English players coming through, but the top clubs always seemed to sign 17-18 year olds from abroad which blocked the paths of the English lads.
With St George's Park, the new home grown rules, and just a general increase in the quality of English academies; we are now seeing more young English players come through.
20 years ago, the main decent academies in England were Everton, Man United, West Ham and Liverpool.
Nowadays you can add Chelsea, Southampton, Man City, Crewe, Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Leicester and Tottenham to that list. Clubs seem to be putting more emphasis on developing there own players.
Sadly though, some clubs have given up on it because they are sick of developing players only to have them poached when they are good enough. Huddersfield are a prime example.

I don't know of any significant rule change I would tend to look more towards the foreign players and the different styles of play having an influence on the younger home nation players which has been a positive. That coupled with the fact we have two sets of world cup winning English players!

It is difficult to see how they can sell, the club is significantly devalued at the moment due to reduced revenue with the ongoing C.V. situation. If FSG want as much money as possible they will have to wait for a better economic environment, that could be another year away.
If C.V. hadn't come along, the club would have been worth the most last summer.
Who is going to buy the club with the current situation going on.

Has anyone noticed that the positioning is no way near as fluid as before. It used to seem like the forwards all swapped round and popped up in each others position. I think against Man U I saw salah and mane switch once, salah was soo wide on the right all game. Maybe it is just a confidence thing and they are just trying to keep it simple to get back into form.

Redman84, what a ridiculous comparison, a striker who deserved to score but didn't had 90mins to prove it. We have not had our 90mins yet and that is the point, we are 10-1 up with 10 minutes to go, we deserve to win. The manager, staff and team deserve to win it, I don't think anyone can argue with that.

Damn Joe Gomez on high injury proneness, breaking his ankle every few months! Maybe he is really clumsy.

Humour like this is lost on some.

Perrie Edwards is Geordie MK.

Now it's 2-0. Chelsea might as well score 5, that is beat for us now.
{Ed014's Note - the more the merrier now, you win your two and it will be goal difference over them provided they beat Spurs.
This puts you in the driving seat surely!

Finding an owner with a good moral compass that wants what is best for fans will NEVER happen. The people that have the sort of money to invest are business men/ women, super rich dodgy Russians and Saudi princes, they have those amounts of money because they are shrewd and selfish, they make decision that have their portfolios best invests at heart.

The club will not get punished for this, I doubt they have legal grounds to punish them.

LoweLFC, I just cannot agree with you. FSG have changed the whole culture at the club from top to bottom, they are the ones at the top that are responsible for the appointments below them, they put the right people in the right places to make success happen. They have made mistakes over the years but look at every other club in the league, they have made mistakes too but FSG are responsible for soo much good that has happened at the club over there rain. We were crying out for an owner to help us catch up with the revenues of Man U and now we complain they are selling the soul of the club for profits.
Man City and Chelsea's owners have made plenty of mistakes but have been in a fortunate enough position to be able to finance the club out of the problem.
