English players or lack of them.... (5 replies)
What's going on...where will the English players come from in 5 to 10 years time at the top level.
Take a look at Fabian Delph...not too bad at Villa but nothing special....goes to Man City, signs a contract that makes him for life whilst his career and progression just stagnate. He will probably stay there for the whole of his contract then move to a lower prem side or one that had just been promoted on a free transfer and another 50k a week four year contract.
I mean it's nice work if you can get it but I just dont see the English lads being given a chance to perform at the highest level week in week out and progressing into world class players.
