[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1033511, member: 73144"] I really don’t know what I think about all this. But with the way the world is now it’s going to be a more common issue. The world domination part of me thinks absolutely - the bigger choice we have the better and making sure that talent doesn’t go elsewhere is all good. But the reality is that our player pool is so large that it’s incredibly difficult to break into the Eng team (and for some incumbents bloody difficult to break out of). Being exceptional at 19 / 20 is no indicator of a decent international career in the way it might be in some other countries. I’m more inclined towards letting players come to their own conclusions at their own pace - show interest for sure, but don’t pressurise them or over promise. I certainly don’t like the idea of capping youngsters before they’re ready just to keep them out of others’ hands. [/QUOTE]
