We need new striker regardless of Kevin injury but because his ankle we need even more to sign striker last season false nine work this season will be very difficult and with out Kevin we need to have different options.

Sure, but we coped without KDB and a striker for months last season.

Isn’t Aké “association trained” but not English?

Correct.

Maybe we will “get lucky” again this year.

Yes but amounts to the same thing in terms of squad size.

It does but it confuses people when discussing it. There was a post immediately after yours(?) which was asking why Scot Carson can't be included in the list as he's English for instance although it's disappeared since.

Yes. As is Mooy, Gyfl Sigurdsson, Tim Krul, Ron Robert Zieler, Asmir Begovic and many others. You are correct. Homegrown has nothing to do with being English.

Clichy... I was thinking it was Nasri and realised that was wrong but damned if I could remember. He was even Club Trained for Arsenal.
