Guest firetotheworks Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 That Redknapp article is poorly written, but that's not too important considering that he's still managed to get his point across. I agree with what he's saying in terms of the larger picture and saying that we're one of many teams that aren't bringing local talent through, or nurturing it. However, his use of other teams as examples of using English players is massively flawed. Liverpool, Man United and Tottenham have more money than us and can afford to pay £20m for Jordan Henderson, £35m for Andy Carroll, and £15m for Wilfred Zaha. None of those players are worth half of what they were bought for and probably not worth a third of that in terms of our recruitment. Also, this made me laugh: "I watched an academy game last week between Chelsea and Charlton and saw two clubs rich with promise. Both have invested money in creating their own talent and it will be interesting to see how those boys progress." Chelsea? Chelsea...? Really? You're going to use Chelsea as an example.

Skeletor Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So in terms of Europa League registration we can only register 3 new players and only one who's played in the Champions League before: Gouffran - Cup tied MYM/Debuchy - One or the other Haidara - Wouldn't need to be registered as under 21 Sissoko - Would be registrant number 2 Thauvin* - Also wouldn't need to be registered Is that right?

Rich Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Haidara and Thauvin would need to be registered as they haven't been with with the club for 2 years, even though they are both U20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturla Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Regarding the English market, it really shows that when Tomkins is being quoted for 8-10m pounds, that it is a market not worth looking at. He played against Arsenal last night and I would not see him as an improvement over Williamson. Meanwhile we buy a french international CB, voted in the team of the year in france by lequipe, for less then 7m pounds. It is basically ridiculous that anyone shops English. I really see it as a catch 22 situation. The supply of English talent is so limited that the prices are higher. The fewer English players playing for the top teams will not help to bolster the ranks of the English talent. It is possible that the prices will rise more instead of declining.
