[Plain Speaking]

Yes I agree that is a factor too that needs to be addressed somehow, clubs buying average players from all over Europe at half the price of the English players , nolito may be a half decent player that we got for £14m whereas an English equivalent say delli alli would probably cost £30m+ , crazy.

Delli Alli would go for much more than £30m IMO. Horrible character but very talented footballer, can imagine him going to the swamp at some point in the future?

Always club before country for me too, mostly because tournaments are only every two years, but I do get behind England and would love to see the team show the world we can be great and win a trophy at some point, nothing wrong with a bit of national pride, I do think the influx of foreign players into the premier league has affected top English players coming through at top level, and think there should be a rule that more English players should be in the squads.

No thanks. English players are wank compared to players from other countries

I used to think it was really odd that mates who supported the rags weren't bothered by how the national team were doing in Internationals. I'm not quite as bad as those mates yet, but I'm certainly less bothered about England these days.

That's the point mate. I am that bad. Lol. Thanks to my late Grandad's influence, I admit I am biased, to the enth degree, when it comes to supporting City, so could never bring myself to get behind Charlton, Stiles, Beckham, Robson, Scholes. et al. (Players that I absolutely detested, week in week out), Even in an England shirt.

I'm the same mate....really struggle to cheer for players like Rooney just because he wearing an England shirt....I'm a blue first, England fan second!;)

Haven't you seen him? he's a snide. Kicking, elbowing, tripping up people off the ball in a sneaky way.

 

[SWP's back]

Horrible character?

Yeah. He's a nasty little prick.

How much would Ross Barkley go for after a poor season? Better than Ali for me and Pep could polish his game, no doubt

Very hard to judge. He's gone backwards... but it's hard to say why. Not living up to potential, or the influence of a piece of shit manager?
I wouldn't be happy if we spent big on him, but nor would I grumble if we got him relatively cheaply.

Really though, we should be aspiring to better than Barkley.
