All english football fans should read this question?
on the opening day of the premiership this season, 47% of all players used were from the uk, only 30% being english.
with these stats it rounds up to 3 english players in each team.
on the opening day of serie a this season 91% of all players were italian. the world champions.
should we introduce a ruling to cap the amount of foriegn players in a bid to strengthen our grass roots football and encourage better english players in the hopes to make our international team better?
or what do you suggest we do to give us a better chance of international success?
Answers:
I think most leagues have that rule, but get around it by having most players of that nation on the second 11 or reserves. But if enforced better, it may very well cut down on all the diving that takes place. English football players. managers, owners and fans have voiced concerns on this in the past.
A RULING CAP !!!!!!!!
you should or your national team will alway's be crap
Maybe so or we could just get referees onside.
Ive been saying that for years. Especially when a swede was running the england side. But football is so much about money and winning that real issues go by the way side. On the other hand i only watched the world cup and have no time for the premiership. Sitting through the same sport week after week gets a little bit old. Football is a brilliant game, but i cannot stand the people that play and manage it. Arrogance and lack of education seem to be the key to make a great footballer. Rugby is still a team based sport but the materialism and arrogance just dosen't exist. Why is this? Maybe the fewer english footballers there are the better.
sorry all the english fans are off being yobbish hooligans and are too busy to answer this
i dont think there should be a cap coz what has made the premiership the best in he wolrd so far is the fact that it has been able to attract players from all continents hence the abundance of quality otherwise if ther is a cap, i think there will be a drop in quality, not saying there are no good english players but i am sayong there are also good foreign players, imagine a league without thiery henry, drogba, ronaldo, saha, van der sar, lehman, cech, cahill, eboue and all those foreign players.its what makes it excitign and marketable to the world too.
i don't care where the players come from because are younger players can learn different techniques and skills from foreign players.so hopefully the english youth will come through in the end.
ps.my team bristol city only has 1 foreign the rest of the team are cheap championship rejects or from the youth team.but that is life in the lower divisions.
a definate ceiling on the number of non european players.
We have to be careful not to be racist, and don't forget the EEC. People have the right to travel and to work in europe.
We as a footballing nation are definately feeling the pinch when it comes to bringing through the best ENGLISH players.
iDEALLY WE NEED A FEW MORE MANAGERS LIKE DARIO GRADI At CREWE ALEX, He just seems to have the knack of finding good english youngsters and bringing them on to be very good pros.
And people wonder why we never win world cups, because are english players are playing proper league football against good players. But yes there hould be a limit on how many foreign players are in a team.
Yes absolutley ,Almost everyone who has any interest in English football is worrying about this disastrous trend and the only people who don't show any concern about this trend are the EPL chairmen and the bigwigs at the FA
or maybe we should just accept that we don't churn out world class players at the same rate that other countries do
yes we should encougue youngsters it WOULD make a big differnce in our engerland team
The way i see it is if they introduce a ruling cap yes they will hav a better national side.but in my opinion still not a good enough one however if they leave it as it is they will continue to have the best league in the world! Come on did u see the arsenal and chelsea games 2day no other league in the world can contend with it
How an earth would Chelsea ans arsenal manage
Money makes the world go around. Football players are paid much more in Premiership than in Serie A. But that's why English league is stronger than Italian one. Just think about that cap you're talking about - Premiership would lose quality, and after that sponsors, interest. Chelsea and Arsenal wouldn't exist at all :-) And let's face the truth, England as a nation have a serious lack of young, talented players. Youngsters have great motivation, phisical attributes and willingnes, but technique. Lack of technique is what you can see in every world cup, and there are no strangers in England national team. 'Cause talented player is talented no matter what, and you can't take it from him. Maybe you need to work harder and smarter with the new generations, and maybe you don't need foreign players as much as foreign coaches and managers. Ask yourself, why there are no english players in other EU leagues, if they are so talented and not allowed to play in England? Or put that cap and prepare to watch the most boring league in EU.
There are too many foreign players in NBA, Americans say. Yeah baby, money really makes the world go around!
ure right, the only reason why big teams win coz of players from other countries. eg. arsenal only have 3 english players and all subs.
why is it called an international league why is it called a international market through the exchange of talented players from around the world irrespective of their background and nationality or colour what is the secret of domination of some of the world big clubs like man u,barcelonia,real madrid,ac milan on the footballing platform having a good eye for talents like cantona,zidane,shevchenko,rona. and the likes.the accumulation of talents playing together over along period of time can only bring about one result that is success.why do u think the epl is the most entertaining league that is because of the diversity of the talents all working together for one goal.
Oy, mate, that blimey old codger should toupe his bloomin doobers up fanny strudel, mate, cause I need a mars bar to eat in my Ford Anglea, and poop on my mother's bloomers. Oy!
I believe that a cap on the amount of Players from the home country should be brought in place either by UEFA or by FIFA I dont think the FA would be strong enough to bring this into play.
They should also put a cap on the age of Players for example at least 5 of the first team squad must be English and under 21 so that teams are obliged to invest in their youth schemes.
I agree with you, i think all these foreign players seriously harms our national team. if the FA are serious about Winning the world cup and the European competition then they to reduce foreign players.
yeah look at arsenal towards the end of last season there was no english players maybe 1 or 2 but i know blackburn vs arsenal ( blackburn won 1-0) there was no english players in the squad
i think we deffently need a way of capping the players. Being a Arsenal supporter, its embrassing knowing there is about 3 english players in the whole team and none of them have regular 1st team games. we train up loads of english players and never use them and they all disappear to other teams and become brilliant players! Dont get me wrong Wenger had brought in some execellent foregin players which im grateful for but for the sake of the England team we need to start have some form of capping the amount of foreign players that are playing in the league. and help our own english players!
There shouldn't be a cap. If you had a cap on the number of foreign players a team fielded then you would have rubbish games. Can you image Arsenal playing Man Utd with just 3 internationals in their team. Arsenal would lose near enough all of their team.
There are some clubs who have not got enough british youngsters in their teams (such as liverpool, chelsea, arsenal) but there are others such as Man Utd who encourage the use of British players. But just because you are brithis you can't be expected to play in the first team - they all hove to go through the youth team first. But in Europe and USA by the time kids turs in to teenagers (15/16) they are already playing for their local first teams. So by the time they are 19 they are as good as some of the worlds best players
Its a good idea, however i can't see it working i think that it will take away from the quality of the english players.
English players were renowed for a lack of technique something that has improved all the while since the premiership inceptance.
Besides your question says that english players aren't up to the same standard as the rest of europe or italy. thats not true either at least 60 or 70% of the england team from the world cup had won major honours recently, and if clubs could afford them would go straight into many first teams, so really your argument is flawed.
However your point is that england aren't up to the job as a national side which is true but it has a hell of a lot to do with the stupid amount of games that we play in england, the lack of winter break. By the time our players made it to the world cup many of them had played upwards of 50 games and hadn't had a break for nearly a year. and i haven't started to talk about how poor the mangement of england has been in the last 4 years.
In my opinion grass roots football is at its strongest and largely that is the result of the premiership, i understand the reasoning behind your statement but it just isn't true.
The 2 biggest under-achievers in world football are England and Spain. The 2 countries with the greatest percentage of foreigners playing in their top league are, guess? England and Spain
If your national team is going to improve, restrict foreign imports, accept that you will need to lower expectations for a few years, plough money into grass roots football, and wait for natural progression to run its course.
Up here in Scotland we have a similar problem in that the old-firm buy in these 2nd rate imports, which stunts the growth of football at a lower level, restricts the volume of talent coming through, hence we end up with such a piss-poor national team. And i'm certain you don't want to end up like us.
I think we should bring in more foreign experience players and mix them up with our national players so that they will play better football.
