In addition to that, there is a rule that force the team to have a certain number of English + home grown players, and this rule will force the manager to stick with some English players.

This rule could be easily dealt with in a couple of years if Guidetti and Razak stay. Both are 20 this year and would count as homegrown once they turn 21 - and Razak looks like he is going to commit to England over Ivory Coast. Weiss also could have been used for a homegrown slot but it looks like we're selling him.

I do think we will always try and have a certain number of English player though as it is a habit of top English sides, so I could see us going for someone like Jack Rodwell if he can stay injury free for a while. I think Barry will start to be pushed more into a rotation/backup role either next season or the one after. Milner will always get games because he can play in a number of different positions.

We do need at least one other talented and expressive midfielder besides Yaya though, Pizarro may be no more than a short-term fix, and Martinez looks to be a real target of our club now that #1 midfield target De Rossi is out of the question.

Besides, not all Englsih players play that "who is more athletic" style of football. Josh McEachran for example doesn't. The squad at Swansea plays totally differently than 90% of the league teams with a majority of English lads. We just have to develop more of our lads around this philosophy, and we'll be fine.

Liked what I saw of him at last years under 21 games, thought he was outstanding and more influence on games than Mata. Having watched him since, he has developed into a top player with a versatile skill base, very good on the ball and can pick out a back to front through ball. Would be my number one signing this summer along with VP. Anything in addition to this pair would have to be about pace and width.
