Some people are forgetting the fact that we are in DESPERATE need of some quality English players. Is Lescott's future here? no. Is Richards? Unlikely unless he improves and becomes less injury prone. Is Barry's? No. Is Rodwell's? Probably yes, because nobody will take him off us, but he's perma-injured so what's the point of him? There is no point.
So who are our home grown players going to be? Unless we want to be only allowed a squad of about 21 or 22 players, we need to be on the look out, and signing, the very best English young players.
I'd have Luke Shaw and Ross Barkley right at the top of my list. If Arsenal weren't doing so good in the league this year, i'd also go for Wilshere.
We need to be after these kind of players. Players that will be good enough to remain in our squad for many, many years. No more Scott Sinclair's please.
