Rose, trippier, Kane, winks and dier…look how that has ended up!ITK from Trix makes sense re HG players. Im no George's Cross chest beater, but we have slowly seen a reduction of English players in our first XI since Poch (when we regularly had 5/6 players in the England squad). Currently of guaranteed starters you've got Maddison and maybe Skipp?
HG rules aside it would be nice to have a sense of a British spine in the team, or at least the potential. If we have genuine confidence that there are some realistic prospects coming through, then signing 1/2 players that can contribute to the team/squad for a year or two whilst they emerge makes sense. Helps that they tend to retain transfer value within the EPL as well given their HG quota value alongside actual ability.
Dier is not even home grown
