Cass, You seem to be purposely be missing my point! I don't care what other countries do with their national league game, I'm only concerned with the ENGLISH league. I personally spend many months in the Canaries 'where there are obviously many Spaniards, Italians, Germans etc of which the vast majority that I discuss this subject with tend to agree with my point of view. Where does your opinion originate come from? No no if we want Top English players you have to give them the chance to develop their skills and not let foreign nationals steal their opportunity from them. You of course have your own opinion and that's OK, its obviously not mine for sure. COYB
