I would so much rather see Rony Lopes, Denayer and maybe Barker being a part of the first team set up than overpaying for any English talent.
Lopes will only count as homegrown after he plays a season with City next season.
Barker still needs a loan somewhere and Denayer won't ever become classed as homegrown because even if he is in the squad next season he will have only been a City player for two seasons before he is 21, he needs three.
We will have to buy an English player or two anyway.
