Benali is from Manchester aswell

That is correct, i missed that one ;-)

 

[tonea2003]

Benali is from Manchester aswell

yes he is, but 3 out of 11 that are english, makes my initial point

dont get me wrong i'm all for getting the best players from wherever they come from. but it would be nice to see some local/north west talent coming through.

Just out of interest, now many of the current England U-21 squad were born within Greater Manchester? I don't know the answer but I'm suspecting not too many so perhaps the talent hasn't always been there.

If there aren't high enough quality "local" players then, as a side aiming to be Europe's best, we should be bringing in talent from all corners of the World. I'm all for local Mancunian players making the grade, but only if they do so based on talent.
