with the long drawn out brexit shlte eventually happening, i heard teams can only have 5 foreigners on the pitch at any time. Surely this would be a good time for the club to get as many home grown players as possible because their price will rise dramatiaclly when the rules come into effect.

IF we are stuck with MA, it would be in his best long term intrests if he gave Rafa what hes asking for and invest in the youth and training ground. Try to unearth a homegrown gem every couple of years.

Southampton and West ham have had a conveyor belt of young talent over the years, with any luck it could be us.
