The problem is not so much with the Good Overseas players that have come over but the many 'ordinary players' who are plying their trade in not just the Premier League but also in the Championship and SPL .They are over here because of the ludicrous price tags put on English Players in particular. We cannot ignore the International Game because believe it or not, many of our players do aspire to play for their Country. Cardie makes an excellent point concerning the under 21 attitudes of some of our players.It could be argued that when we come across good young players, (Owen, Rooney) the clamour to have them in the Senior Side is so loud that you wonder whether the players themselves are ready for it and that perhaps another year or two in the U21 side would benefit not only themselves but the rest of the U21 side.
