really? Maybe I am older..............

But I remember a time when our top 3 keepers were the envy of the world.

Now our top 3 keepers are not even top 3 at their own clubs.

What percentage of teams in the "English" Prem have an English keeper.

It's NEVER been a smaller percentage.

The other high quality leagues (Spain, Italy and Germany) I am sure have a much higher percentage of home grown talent in goal.

The fact the Arsenal keeper was thinking of trying to get British citizenship shows you the state of GKs

The only clubs developing young English keepers are clubs like Norwich.
