Oh, and SWP needs to leave Chelsea

then we'd have two genuinely s**t hot, quick right wingers competing for the place.

And finally, I fear for the future of the England team full stop unless more Champs League clubs start playing English players. If not, the supply line of enough top quality English players will dry up.

Already we have a very limited pool of genuinely top class players to choose from compared to France, Spain etc, and it will only get worse as the foreign influence on the Premiership continues to grow.

Unless there is a reversal in this trend then England will eventually become bracketed with teams like Sweden, Republic of Ireland and Turkey.
