Agree but many of modern footballers chase the pound rather than pursuit of glory.

He would qualify as home grown. That's the point of having him there instead of wasting wages on someone else.
I thought the rule applied to players over the age of twenty one? Sorry, my bad.
Nope.
Signing a third choice goalkeeper because they're English (Rob Green, Lee Grant etc) just makes a mockery of the rule in my view. I think the whole home grown rule should be used to promote your own talent.
That’s a very dangerous thought process, but luckily one that Pochettino heavily disagrees with......
We finished the season 27 Points off the top, we haven’t been that far adrift since 2009, In fact last year it was 23, they are our two worst seasons against the Champions since the Ramos/Redknapp change over, camouflaged by Top 4 finishes and one hell of a run in a european knock out cup competition.......There are red flags flying everywhere, but I’m glad Pochettino sees them even if some don’t.
No, it is right mate.
"Each club is able to list up to 17 senior players that are not English or Welsh and did not spend a significant period in an English or Welsh academy, plus any number of homegrown players up to a maximum squad size of 25, plus an unlimited number of academy and under-21 players"
I also read this morning that Woolwich fear Mesut Ozil will outlast Emery, because his high wages mean that nobody is remotely interested in his services.
Bro, this post comes off as serious, are you being serious?
Whilst he is serious - the press has also confirmed what he's said. We have agreed terms with Ndombele but not a fee with Lyon.
The thing is, the keeper is a position where you probably don't want a twenty year old playing. It's a different story for players like Walker-Peters or Skipp.
I'd love to see a stat on how many games on average a third choice goalkeeper starts league games. Give him the shitty early round Milk cup games if he needs match sharpness.
I want to win the title as much as anyone, but I do feel ENIC and particularly Levy don’t get anywhere near as much credit as they should. From where the club was when they took over to where it is now is absolutely mind blowing.
Imagine where we’d be if we still had Sugar in charge. Some think the grass is always greener.
Levy will spend as much money as possible without putting the club into financial trouble, and that number will steadily get higher and higher every season due to the new stadium he built. He isn’t sitting on money so he can buy himself a PlayStation, it’s all relative
Yeah 100%. That friend of mine never bullshits me. He’s a die hard PSG fan since the 90’s and he really likes us because of Poch, aurier and Lucas. The only person that makes me not hate Paris that much.
I’m Levy’s biggest fan mate, multiple posts on multiple threads that will vouch for that....But it still doesn’t remove the fact as club, Pochettino as a manager, we have hit our ceiling using the current method of operations, we just can’t compete, especially on the home stretch just getting over the line when it really matters.
This is why we lose so many semi finals, finals, come up short in the title races etc etc, there will always be one or two better clubs that will do us over when it really counts....
No matter how good Pochettino is, he’s not God and can’t work miracles, he needs help just like everyone else. I hope he gets that help, he deserves some success, and just as importantly, Levy deserves success too.
And ugly women and OAPs getting conned. Good point.

Honestly this year unlike last year looks like we are not fucking around and really trying hard for the players the manager wants. At least that.
Mate I am not convinced that the club will get the quality that many are expecting but seriously there is no way talksport will have the club list it's absurd to think they would.
