    It's possible.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    They say the level of your face has gone down.

    Though I'm not sure that's possible.

    It is, however, probable.

    not sure about that. loads have left clubs like west ham, leeds for example. chelsea have no homegrown players, bar terry. man utd had their bunch but that was a one off. liverpool have gerrard. city are just ****s.

    I think after you reach a certain level, say CL football, that the Briitish guys stick around. When you're West Ham or Leeds or whatever, it's more difficult but the clubs also tend to want the money too. E.g. Leeds won't mind taking £30m for Ferdinand, Southampton £12m for Oxlade etc.

    I'm not here to sell some xenophobic policy but I just think the fact that British people are happier in their comfort zones with no second language, we don't view moving abroad as an attractive option compared to the Europeans. So options to move are limited to start with and then if you're direct rivals with top teams, moving to them should be difficult. I'll change my views if, for example, Theo leaves but I don't think I'm being too controversial.

    unlucky with player loyalty?

    no its called the manager putting us into the shit by exhausting a flawed youth ideology.

    players gave up on the youth project time ago.

    dont blame them either.

    This 'youth policy' was stopped a couple of seasons back. For anyone who left 2010 onwards, they need a different excuse.
