We reach the quota right now, but it would still be smart to fill up more English players that actually could have an impact in the squad, since the reality is that its not that many of them that are realistic to sign. Would not limit our options later on with only being able to replace say Walker in the future with a homegrown player.The homegrown quota is full, so being English makes no difference.
Not really we have 6 so 2 over anything that would reduce the squad size.We reach the quota right now, but it would still be smart to fill up more English players that actually could have an impact in the squad, since the reality is that its not that many of them that are realistic to sign.

100m plus cash and Ake and I doubt they would take that.Cash & Ake??
Rice can cover 4th CB with Mbete.
I think having Foden, Sterling, Grealish, Stones, Palmer and Walker regularly in the side, means we should have more than enough to satisfy our quota. There aren't any other EPL sides that can boast half of the England side, plus it won't be long before Palmer gets a look in, the way he is playing.Of course but having a surplus so we’re not ever in a position where we have to scramble to fill it is nice

150m cash? even before West Ham would answer the phone, top player but not for the sort of cash involved.
But Ake covers our missing LB option when needed. I think if Ake leaves, we would spend far less on a CB replacement.Cash & Ake??

You are allowed to have 17 non-homegrown players in the 25 man squad in PL, which means you that if you have fewer than 8 homegrown senior players you cant register a full 25-man squad. City currently have 7 homegrown senior players going into next season in the first team. Its not a immediate problem, but signing a good english player before it actually is a problem might not be the worst idea.Not really we have 6 so 2 over anything that would reduce the squad size.
That's £120 mill by my reckoning, for a position and player not as good as the player we have there.Rice only has 2 years left on his contract so 50m plus Jesus
