Fraser Foster gets England call up, if this doesn't signal there are either too many overseas players or too few English players in PL nothing will. The obsession of signing overseas rather than giving home grown players the chance will continue as self interest and desperate need of fans for new shiny toys each season remains.

Well, that's largely because of "english" tax, look at how hard we got squeezed for Spence, add to Sess, Clarke, others that we absolutely could have gotten equivalent players from Europe at a fraction of the cost.

There's no "tax" on give English young players a chance, only 28% of players involved in PL a couple of weeks ago were eligible to play for England.

But isn't the problem there are fewer to choose from and makes it a smaller pool which pushes the premium up, like most markets.

There is no shortage/small pool -> At any one time, there are between 10,000 and 12,000 boys in football's youth development system. In Premier League academies alone there are around 3,500 boys; the youngest are nine years old although pre-academy training can start even younger. Under the Premier League Rules of Development, each club is allowed to register 250 youngsters in their academy.

- There may be issues re quality
- There may be a lack of path into PL teams (too much at risk), hence the new model of UK youth going to Germany/Europe/etc.
- The ones that seem to have promise get overpriced way too quickly (that's english tax, not supply and demand)

I'm sorry what ever way you want to dress it up PL clubs wont take a chance with young players in their academies, you can have 1000 registered kids but its pointless if you never pick them, these kids are being coached from 9 years old if they haven't got ability or quality they are soon weeded out. Its fear in managers of getting the sack. Every fan and owner thinks they should be in the top 4 and want instant results, despite years of evidence that buying average overseas players doesn't bring sucess. As long as the TV money is rolling in they wont change.
