Oh aye.
"What's your advice to any young England player, Danny?"
"Sign for a club on big contract and take the money regardless of whether you're playing or not!"
Yes that'll help get the quotas up!!!
Plenty more of this then...

This sums up the modern day British footballer.
In their eyes success is measured by the car they drive, the girlfriend they have or the house they live. Not the trophies they win.
the x-factor generation

Foundation of a good idea that will no doubt be totally f**ked up by the FA

maybe that's part of the plan, Marcos Lopes (as an example), being brought through by City would be eligible to play for England soon and he is just a kid. In 20 years time we will have an England team of Portuguese, Spanish, French, German born kids.

Exactly.
The players brought in will get younger and be nationalised sooner.
The Spaniards have got Brazilians and the Germans have Turks.

it's all a bit of a piss take to me really....Klinsmann's doing the same in the US...grabbing foreign born players who qualify as US Citizens because of one parent being a US Citizen, which is pissing Germany off since that's where he's reaping most of them from these days.
I get that it's legal....but i think you should play where you've been born or grew up and were naturalized. And the being born thing is a bit iffy for me many times. When was the last time Kevin Prince Boateng was in Ghana before he suddenly switched his German up for Ghanian? I would guess a reasonable answer might be "never."
Can't wait to see City get bollocked for signing a 12 year old for a million in about 2 years. Just hope it's mine.
cheers

So you can run a B team in the lower leagues but not have any Non EU players in the squad so Spanish,Italians,French et al is fair game surely that should be all English players in this squad?
The Non EU lads can train at the academies and go out on load to Spain etc and gather their new paasport elsewhere but under the name of the parent club so become home trained.
SO many loopholes.
