Village Idiot Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It seems to me your FA is going the completely wrong way in order to address your national team's issues. Imposing squad slots for English players is going to help out the Steven Taylors of the world rather than the Aaronses. Good players will always succeed; reform should come at a lower level, imho.

TaylorJ_01 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've never been bothered about having English players. If we can get cheaper, better players from abroad then so be it. It's down to our ridiculous TV deals and stupid foreign players rules that English player prices are so stupidly inflated - and why do we get big TV deals? People want to watch players like Aguero, Di Maria, Hazard, Toure, Mata, Van Persie etc etc. If every team could only use home-grown players England would be nowhere near the top. English football is f***ed, we rely on the foreigners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah, clubs won't go for this. It's stupid. It should go nearer the other extreme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Instead of imposing stupid quotas that will inflate the price of domestic players, pump money into grassroots so we have more coaches and produce more good players. Stupidly backward way of doing it; look at Russia and Turkey who have similar quotas and has done nothing to increase the number of young players coming through.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Ridiculous way to approach U19 football. "I've gone for a physical side and runners" FFS. Sure Scotland will be grateful for that in 5 years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Scotland will be grateful for that in 5 years time. At some level though, results are important at this level. Going to European Championships would be a great experience for the youth players to play against the best of the continent, experience a real competitive atmosphere, and build relationships that could be vital if players ever reach the national team together. Of course, you can say that the inability to include Harper is just a representation of Sbragia's tactical deficiencies, which is probably correct tbf , but I don't think the mentality is necessarily incorrect.

At that stage all that should matter is developing the kids talents, everything else is an after thought. at U21 level maybe because they are pro's at that point but anything else before that results shouldn't really be considered above development.

Like Baba says though, if they don't get results then the experience is limited. Sbragia's outlook is appalling but you still have to build a team capable of winning at that level.

TaylorJ_01 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I forgot you can only win games with running. It's the Scotland U-19s. The reason we're stuck in this Scottish mess of s**** youth players being trained to be s**** and becoming s**** is because of this type of management. "We'll never win by playing properly, maybe if we run and tackle loads we'll not lose". It's an endless cycle of s***. They are just as likely to win by playing actual football, but the managers don't know how, so they claim it's just 'something they have to do'. Bullshit. Leaving the Real Madrid youth captain out is blood-boilingly f***ing annoying and stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
