I mean if a club could buy English player A for £75 million or Player B from abroad for £65 million and both are of pretty similar quality they often go for A as the benefits of paying the tax (both short term and long term) outweigh the negatives of spending £10 million more

sometimes that extra few million is coz they have experience playing here, as so many good players have flopped in the prem

And that is for two reasons. Both adapting to the different style of play and also simply adapting to living in a new country and working in an English speaking environment.

The reason English players sell for a premium in the premier league is nothing to do with the popularity and hype that some of you think is relevant it’s due to the home grown quota. You have to have I think 8 home grown players in a squad of 25.

That’s one of the reasons but not the only one as some of the big clubs have more and the junior ranks Fill a lot of spots cheaply.

The FA proposed 12 the other year and clubs know future England flops at major tournaments would see them start pushing for that again.
 
Baby Ox is on the way/here !!

This hasn’t actually been confirmed, it’s just people assuming so I would take it with a pinch of salt. Although it does seem very likely as his kit etc was all ready to go in the dressing room so it seems like a last minute thing that he’s had to leave.

Really excited for perrie and alex!! however does this mean the baby is early as leigh is further along but hasn’t given birth to our knowledge yet

Not necessarily, I don’t think leighanne or perrie ever confirmed who was further along.
 
Considering most women have fairly slow first Labours it’s reasonably likely the baby hasn’t arrived yet if he only pulled out Then.

He pulled out last minute though. His kit was already set in the dressing room. I think they have to have the covid results earlier than that.

Not if a player develops symptoms while the weekly testing was negative. Not sure if that has happened any time to a PL player through So quite unlikely.

I really doubt it’s Covid related, think it would have been dealt with differently if it was. Not playing for personal reasons when the players partner is pregnant usually only means one thing

Norwich are always like this. Dominant in the getting promoted but poor once their make the league.

That's because we sell our best players and don't buy players for the positions that are needed..

I have wanted Delia to leave for a few seasons now..Yes she helped us when we needed it, but has now taken back her money and then some..she refuses to let anyone come in and invest as she doesn't want to share...she likes the social side of it and hob nobbing with the other owners..

Am hoping that when we play lower table teams we might do better...

my other half is refusing to listen this afternoon and hoping the same. Your start to this season is nearly as tough as Arsenals. As a spurs fan I'm glad we got Skip back but fear he will be missed
