Eddie definitely does like to have an English core to his teams. I don't have an issue with it tbh. I think there's value in squad cohesion in retaining a strong core of domestic and local players at this stage of our development, and the depth of English talent is pretty decent at the moment to not make it a hindrance. We generally seem to be limiting the foreign signings to being big marquee players (Bruno, Isak, Botman, Tonali).

If we get Barnes and Liveramento then that will be 8 English players bought for our squad since the takeover - wonder if any other Prem team is close to that in the same period of time? 

As long as they are on the bench, it's fine :lol:

Barnes shooting technique with both feet from inside and outside of the box makes me think he’s far less a pass and move into space and hit with his preferred foot player like Almiron generally has shown. Barnes is someone who you can’t show a specific way because he isn’t 1 footed, and his assists looked pretty damn good when he had a settled CF playing regularly. We will have Isak and Wilson. Dumbing down his game is a bit classic NO as you can get. 
 

Elite sides exploit space through passing and movement. 

Will be interesting to see him play properly as from what I’ve seen of him he looks one footed. Watching his highlights his right is his foot and he can vary what he does with it when shooting whereas on his left he just seems to strike it as hard as he can. As I’ve said before not as obvious as Miggy is but he clearly has a far stronger side from what I’ve seen.

I imagine Schar passes over the top behind, pass and move dribbles into space to get a layoff to shoot, cut backs from Tonali, Trippier or Miggy and on the assist side his line breaking run in behind and low driven crosses to Isak and Wilson.

Yeah that pass Schar does I can imagine him getting in on those a treat.

Whoever it is, you would think they would have twigged by now that he can't keep anything secret lol ?

Indeed. His snout must be someone quite high-up.
