I'd love to see us take a punt on one of the young english lads from the Championship (Redmond, Zaha, etc), and I'd love to see the likes of Rose, Caulker, Townsend, Kane, Carroll come through, but aside from Caulker, Livermore, and posssssibly Carroll, I can't quite see it happening. Besides, we still have a good amount of UK-raised footballers, who are and will be important members of the squad in Bale, Lennon, Walker, Defoe (think he has a part to play), Parker, Naughton, and possibly Dawson. I can live with that.
please note my posts recently...let's see...i reiterate my belief that it will happen.

Dantchev is at it again!
Fiorentina has since released a statement expressing its disgust with Berbatov's actions, after the club believed it was close to completing a deal for his services.
"ACF Fiorentina announce that the transfer for Dimitar Berbatov definitively collapsed after an agreement with Manchester United had been concluded (with shared exchange of contracts, the first installment paid and the financial guarantees for the second installment ratified) and after reaching a verbal agreement with the player over his contract," it read.
"During today the English club had allowed their player the written permission to come to Florence for a medical and to sign his contract. The player got on the flight with his agent and on tickets paid for by Fiorentina. He never arrived in Florence.
"This was down to outlandish and arrogant behavior of other clubs, who have nothing to do with fair play and sporting ethics that go even beyond the confines of fairness.
"As for the player, apart from his characteristics and his value on the field, at this stage we are happy he didn't come to Fiorentina. He did not deserve our city, to wear our jersey or the values that represent it."
If he got on the flight but didn't arrive in Florence, what happened?
Maybe the spokesman was watching "Flightplan" with Jodie Foster, it was on BBC1 last night...
what a thing to say about a player! :ross:
shouldn't Man U be at fault too, it seems they accepted both offers ... is this even allowed?
Already tried that with steff, he's being veeeery sly.....
Yes. It is then up to the player to agree to terms with one of those clubs.
