Going back to what Shadow said about Man City, Spurs , Villa etc this is why we have so few English players. The average players can earn far more playing in England than they can abroad or back home and so these clubs buy these players instead. It is cheaper to buy a proven player with experience than it is to train up a youngster to the same level so we import the average players from abroad

Just to take slight issue with including Villa in that list, out of a first team squad of 25, there are currently 16 English players. We may have got tonked by Chelsea at the weekend, but at least most of the victims came from this country
Actually, they've also currently got 34 reserves / youth players, and 25 of them are English, so that's a step in the right direction
