We could do with some more English players and for me Rose and Clyne are two of the best young full backs around. Would cost a mint, but could save some issues with home grown players down the line. Probably wouldn't come, but I'd be ver happy if someone could let Pep know that I'd like them. Thanks
Why do we need more English players? I don't see this as a problem anymore.

We could do with some club trained players, as we've got 0, and as for just association trained HG players we have Sterling, Stones, Clichy and Delph - so 2 of those 4 might leave in the summer.

Oh I know...I expect though that Clichy is the only one that will leave. Iheanacho is now club trained. Maffeo is right behind him and Garcia is as well. Angelino is in the mix for next year as is Tosin, Gunn, Denayer, and Roberts. For me its not so much the numbers who are association/club trained but the number of players who are legit first team players. If Maffeo isn't old enough to count but gets in the squads as a U21 and is a regular part of the first team it doesn't matter if he technically qualifies as club trained yet. The only question that matters is:
Are we limiting our squad size because of these rules? I don't think we are anymore (or at least we won't be next season imo).

If Clichy leaves then we desperately need Maffeo or Angeliño to be squad players.
If we can have Garcia, Tosin and 1 fullback from the academy actually playing a decent role then we're sorted for HG players completely and for years to come. No need for people like Clichy with those future HGs in there.
I definitely think it's a problem we won't have for much longer and in 5 years time people will have completely forgotten about weighing up HG and foreign spots when discussing future transfers.

Completely agree.
In five years time we all might be having to deal with treating EU players as Foreign and having to apply the same eligibility rules.If Clichy leaves then we desperately need Maffeo or Angeliño to be squad players.

EU players are already treated as foreign. The HG rule has nothing to do with nationality.
Foreign players need to meet government work permit criteria regarding caps, appearances in competitive international games and the like. EU players, like any EU worker, can just rock up.EU players are already treated as foreign. The HG rule has nothing to do with nationality.
