bring back the 6 player limit on foreign players in your starting 11 and then we will see younger players get top level football consistently, the standard of football would drop slightly for a season but just imagine how good these players would become playing week in week out.
the standard will drop, the sponsorship will dry up and all the best players will go to Italy or Spain and we'll be back to the 80s - and England will still be ****.
Don't get me wrong, I was a regular at Highbury in the 80s and loved every minute - but the football was nothing compared to the Premiership today and without the best foreign players in England the young English have no reason to improve.
how many World Cups did England win before the Premiership and all foreign starting 11s. Arsene Wenger wasn't tp blame for failure in the 70s, and 80s.
Things wont get better by limiting foreign players - I honestly believe the only way of sorting the National team out is by creating proper acadamies like at West Ham and now at Arsenal and a few other places. The English players will then be good enough to earn their places in the starting XIs
