Your own mental skills effect how your team performs?

Either way, i really couldn't care less if there are any Englishmen, i'm an Aussie!

I wasn't going off either. The Internet has a funny way of portraying emotions incorrectly.

yh, good to see though u speeking out and telling me.

but i think being a english club u gotta have at least a few english players in ur squad.

i dont know how u see at it being an aussie, but for me british based club should have a few british players in it. all considering of course the first team.

understandable they got many foreign players, but having nearly no english play in ur starting line up isnt exactly understandable.

forget the youths because most youths in england are brittish

Arsenal also have brilliant youth facilities, so the British youth coming through there will have a great chance of ending up in the 1st team, as they're being played in the Carling Cup and whatnot.

how many reach their potential ability?

seriously not every player out there is that good.

some might not improve much anymore, some might loose it.

many things happen to youth players so you cant expect THAT much from a young british side playing in the carling cup

if everyone reached their potential or more or less became quite good then ipswich would still be at the top wouldnt they?

Dunno man, didn't watch when Ipswich were big. I reckon you should be keeping your on eye on Mark Randall and Henri Lansbury though.

yh well there are a few youngsters of course

but thats one thing i have learned about football, media now are really crazy about all this getting "hyped" about young players.

in the old days you never knew about a young player before they came out on the pitch in the first team and showed themselves to the world, and by that time they were mature etc etc. now a days u will hear about a 14 year old, and in a few years everyones like remember that lad, where is he now like?

well i think we should end this, lets keep it all about FM on here hehe

Well I only know Lansbury and Randall from the Carling Cup run last year.

yh well.

by the way on this thread,

i was bored out today, didnt do nothin, everyone gearing up for the new years wohooo!

so i played a bit of fm, i made a copy of my saved game, so on one i went with modifier to fix MY own stats. yes increasing the discipline of squad and such.

then there were "hidden" attributes of mine which means things like "technical", "defending, attacking" and such.

so i made myself i bit better in most of the areas.

guess what happens? well it does got better witht the team, the red and yellow cards arent coming out as much, and the defense keeping more cleansheets.

but it helps slightly, and i think if u take a team to become one of the big teams then ur team becomes better and better, doesnt really matter THAT much on which players. yes the typical of FM.

but yet again THE EFFECTS are noticable BUT slightly.

so as u go ahead to become a better manager it will help you out on the pitch A BIT!

English Players just arn't good enough!

not qualifying for Euro 2008 just shows you. without all the foreign players i would not bother watching the English League!

Plus Arsenal play the best football, i dont care where they come from :yes

nah arsenal arent good at all, overrated, they play brilliant 3-4 matches and automatically they are the best? i dont think so.

plus england have GREAT english players, but they havent had a good manager that has been able to control those players.

So you find Arsenal boring to watch? I don't think by what Thorpy said, that he thinks Arsenal are the best side..but they obviously play the best looking footy.
