The quotas plan would surely hlep this. They have it in most countries in Europe, cant see why they cant in England. |

I agree completely, Quota's are a good idea, to stimulate young players as well. |

its only 10 less that last season and 30 less than 2001 i think and thats only cos birmingham and sunderland spent some money and sanchez swapped all his english players for northern irish players at fulham |

personaly, i think its because up and coming english talent is snapped up by the top four and left on the bench |

cant argue with that. if wallcott, richardson, sidwell (feel like im forgeting someone...) etc.. had been left to play in middle table clubs they may well be much better players than they are now. downing, for example, is a donkey but hes played every game for the last 3 years and starting to look half decent |

Or maybe there's just not enough English players around? Is football still as popular with young kids as it was when we were all younger? Rise of the Playstation... |

the problem is it doesnt matter if you have a quota or not,the cream should always rise,ie if there good enough they will make it if there not they wont. all a quota system will do is stop some of the great foreign players we have now from coming but isnt that what blatter and platini want <_< just because you put 5 mediocre englishmen in your prem team do you think thats really going to make england better :rolleyes: . |

I think the thinking behind it is that with more games the English players would get better because there will be less of them on the bench/not picked at all. |

Are there that many good Englishmen around? It's alright calling for a quota but I can't think of 5 English players that aren't already at big clubs who would be good for Arsenal. With Chelsea and United having the funds to buy the best of English players, are the rest of us supposed to fight for the overpriced scraps? |

This comes back to the Club vs Country thread that was on here the other day. At the end of the day is it the business of English clubs to be promoting the English national squad? And can any Arsenal fan really say they support England more than Arsenal and at the same time condone only having one regular englishman in their starting 11 every now and again? |

Arsenal have been linked with Agbonlahor, Reo-Coker and Woodgate all in recent years.
Good question. I think they should have some responsibility in promoting English youth but if the English players aren't good enough then they are obviously not going too... |

I don't even front - I couldn't care what the current England seniors win. I can't say it's because I'm an Arsenal supporter though because I've never cared much about the national team - all hype and no achievement. The babies (the U21s) seem to play with more effort, I enjoy their games a lot more. I would like us to have Englishmen in our squad but only if they're good enough - not because of what their passport says. Better to let English players flourish at other clubs than rot on our bench. |
