Is he forgetting that Kyle Naughton and Danny Rose broke through last season... I do believe they're both young english talent.

He can do one along with the other gob****e Adel Tarabbt, they both think they're owed the world!

Although saying that, Adel can look tasty at times.

Wasn't Naughton bought from Sheff Utd then loaned straight back out and Rose played about 5 games max with 1 wonder goal that he will never better in his career.

Not that I'm defending 'Arry or Bostock as they is both cunts innit

Well yes, with regards to Naughton. But he's English and listed as a first team player. Rose only came into games towards the end of the season, so expect to see more of him next season.

I'm afraid I don't agree with you about 'Arry though... Being that I'm a spurs man.

Regardless of whether he has an attitude problem or whether he was wrong to leave Palace he does have a point. 10-15 years ago players of his talent were getting first team chances at big clubs but thats no longer the case because most premier league teams are now filled with mostly foreign players. Players of better quality maybe but its obviously harder for local players now compared with 10 years ago

The league is stronger now so you have to be better that is clear. A combination of poor coaching and few players seeming to be driven enough to work on personal improvement means that while the PL remains a financial force their chances will always be more limited than they would have been in a piss poor league with less money than it's main rivals which is what we had 15 years ago.

I think he comments are a joke give that Spurs probably have more English players (and young English players at that) playing in their first team.

I think as people have said it's laregly an attitude problem, in that a young player performs well at a lower level (be it reserves, lower leagues or international youth tournements), they start believing the hype about themselves don't put in the effort and don't make it. He should have known when he went to Spurs that he would have to fight for a first team place against better players, if he couldn't handle it he shouldn't have moved there. He should get his head down work hard and earn the right to be in the first team, if he's as good as he seems to think he his then it should pay off. If he isn't prepared to put the effort in he should keep his mouth shut.
