Italy, Germany, Spain and France all have a significantly larger share of domestic players in their top league, allowing young players far better opportunities to develop. The best players get siphoned into the 2-3 best teams and then go play in european competition.

Norway's greatest modern footballing generation (for what that's worth) came up during the '90s, at a time when nearly all the players in the top division were domestic, and the league was dominated by a single team. These days the title is changing hands every year, the league is dominated by foreign players, and the national team is poo poo.

Sound familiar?

Correlation doesn't equal causation, and it is possible that better youth development leads to more domestic players in the domestic league. I tend to think it's the other way around, though.

English teams absolutely dominated in Europe from the late 1970's till the European ban at a time where every team was made up of 90% British players, and the English teams of then did no better than they do now!

Maybe it's a mix of both coaching problems and thus a lack of domestic players in the top flight.

Doesn't help that good players at unfashionable clubs get overlooked either.

How are these countries different than England? It is openly admitted English players are over priced in the English transfer market and almost no English players play abroad.

Italy, Germany, and Spain all built incredible identities around tactics. Italy has been using a version of their system before most posters were born. Spain is built off of Tiki-Taka, and Low/Klinssman reinvented Germany to a offensive powerhouse.

What is England's tactical identity? The top clubs in England can maximize the English talent, but why not the national manager?

It's absolutely a coaching issue. There's no surprise that the nations that made big leaps and bounds (first Spain then Germany) did so by spending a poo poo load of cash getting more coaches better training. I remember seeing somewhere that during their peak Spain had, depending on their qualification level, 5-15 times as many trained youth coaches as there were in England. Then I think the Germans went even more extreme and blew those numbers out of the water. For all the talk of "grass roots football" it's hard to beat lots of well trained professionals working with kids from a young age to develop the fundamental skills properly.

It has nothing to do with foreigners. It has everything to do with the vast majority of academies being total garbage and how poo poo the system is for small clubs who actually produce a talented player rarely.

It's no one issue. Just take a punt on fixing the coaching by drilling players in a system from the ground up because it's actually doable and don't knee jerk if it doesn't pay off quickly. That's all that can be done really.

By all accounts the transfer poo poo during Moyes'reign was in spite of Moyes' best efforts, not because of them. So watch what happens as United glide to a smooth 6th place finish this year, because that's what would have happened.
As funny as Moyes failure was, it doesn't seem fair to blame him for Fellani fiasco and I have to think he would have finished higher with access to the kind of money LVG has gotten (and the Dutchman is off to an even worse start than Moyes).

Not to mention that the 'cost' attributed to streaming is probably calculated the same way downloads were at the height of the RIAA persecution of people that had downloaded 'It's in his kiss' on Limewire. Number of people streaming does is not equal to number of people that would be otherwise subscribing, and streaming has provided access to a far vaster audience than ever before, which has no doubt added value to deals like MU's new shirt.

It all evens out in the end.

The RIAA would have assumed four people on the sofa who would have all bought a season ticket, two hotdogs, a burger a program and four drinks, plus all visited the club shop. At Arsenal. I'm the club level because normal fan season tickets are on a waiting list system.

Yes your honour. That stream of Hull v Sunderland cost the premiership more than the GDP of the UK. And it's happening ten times a week thanks to monsters like the plaintiff!

Lots of people making fun of Welbeck, not enough making fun of the fact that we're literally one injury away (if Koscielny doesn't recover over the break) from playing Nacho Monreal at centre-back and Flamini at full-back.
