I have to say this transfer window is getting very annoying...
I wonder what the ratio of (and I'll use english as I am english) players compared to overseas players have joined prem clubs....
its a difficult subject with no easy solution but this transfer window imho has done nothing to give me any increased hope for our national team...
Citeh for example, MB goes, ok we lose one foreigner, and he's looking at replacing with David Villa...
English players are becoming a premiership minority...
When players like Tom Huddlestone go for £5million, Ashley Young for £17million and Andy Carroll for £35million........I wonder what the ratio of (and I'll use english as I am english) players compared to overseas players have joined prem clubs....

I think Hudd at £5 mil is pretty good value.
He is, David bentley (£16.5m) Darren Bent (£23m) on the other hand.....maisoumenos said:
£6m for Kieron Dyer in 1999 and a further £6m in 2007 to West Ham where he was on 83k a week including 424k a season for image rights and a 100k loyalty fee; that guy had some agent. No wonder he featured in Englands worst 11 side.
Dyer was an exceptional case wasnt he

Not read all the replies but the thing that gets me is players having to go off if slightly injured, just let them get up and resume the game, wtf is that all about!
This. Centre forward is fouled, and has to go off - after treatment, not for - yet the player who fouled him, even if booked, can take his place for the resultant free kick. Meanwhile the wronged player has to stand on e touch line, his team a man down. Totally unfair and misguided attempt to speed up the game.
TV Rights - don't have Sky or EPSN so never get to watch live matches (bar FA Cup and some European ones) unless I go to mates or a pub
The massive inflation of wages at the highest levels, appreciate it's a global market and players will go where they are best paid hence the difficulty in implementing any kind of salary cap system (unless there is a global agreement on % of club income which accountants can fiddle).
Also I cannot understand how a 17 or 18 year old youth team player on a few hundred quid a week can play well for half a season and be given a multi-year £30,000 to 70,000 per week contract?
Lastly is the ever increasing gap between the Premier League and the Championship.

Man Utd players withdrawing from internationals and then returning for the next Man Utd game so their players don’t get injured on duty or affect Fergie’s team selection. No wonder he gets agitated by players ‘injuries’ being disclosed.
Cup finals – tickets being given to the Uefa or Fifa family and not fans. 2013 Champions League Final is an example with 20,000 tickets awarded to sponsors and partners.

The way in which promising players are plucked from the teams that found them, before their time then spend the next few season languishing on the bench of the not always grat team they've ended up at before being shipped out on loan to a rival's team of the one they came from in the first place. Hasn't happened to my team as we haven't porduced anyone anywhere near good enough for that to happen to for years, but it happens a lot. Zaha being probably the latest.

Agree with you but Zaha is bad example seeing as how he was loaned straight back to his old club.Following on from my previous rant about "the ball picked up speed in flight", a commentators favourite despite the laws of physics, we now have, after Ronaldo's goal against Man U, his ability to "hang in the air".
Look, he jumps up higher than most, so is in the air longer. As he reaches his max height, he tucks his legs up under his body, giving the illusion of staying up longer. But he does not hang in the air. He's a good player, but he can't fly, or hover. He goes up, and comes down. He isn't able to hang about whilst he is up there.

This sums it up again, jailed for having a smoke bomb

Commentators at Stamford Bridge who say "here we are in South West London." Hanging's too good for them.
Just because a location has an SW postcode, it doesn't make it south London. Loads of SW postcodes are north of the river. Like Buckingham Palace, SW1. It's not rocket surgery.
Stamford Bridge is in West London. get it right you muppets.
