New FA Proposal for EU and Homegrown Players

Forums:

Essentially the FA are to tighten up work permits, reduce the number of non-EU players, and require the minimum number of homegrown players to be 12 out of the 25 man squad. And the definition of "Homegrown" will be tightened up too. I can see this as a double-edged sword. While we all might like to see more homegrown talent get a chance, this could affect West Ham adversely; the core of our first team now contains: Sakho, Valencia, Kouyate, Adrian. So what do you all think?

Adebayor. Seriously?

On Newsnow we're apparently linked with "Superstar" striker Adebayor and a deal is close to completion for the summer. So to whoever is sanctioning/persuing this deal here's my question. Are you (expletive) serious?

If this guy is not good enough for the Spuds first team then why on Earth is he considered good enough for us? He's 31, has no pace and is only marginaly an improvement on CC. With Sakho,Valencia and Carroll as our first choice strikers surely we should be targeting someone who can challenge these guys, not someone we can bring off the bench if things aren't going our way and hope he can do the impossible. I understand why we needed him in Jan, after all our other targets failed to materialise but surely we can target someone better in the summer. I'm loathe to see our owners giving Levy the parasite money for this guy.
This smacks of another Big Sam target. Approaching end of his career and can maybe do a job. Sounds like Nolan and Sam's CV's!!!
Funny how some are saying Tevex at 31 can't do a job for us yet our visionary manager sees this guy as the solution!

So Stevie G has apologised for his stamp (would he have done had it not been seen and he was not ordered from the field of play?) Skirtel stamped on De Gea erm hello SKY no mention of that one eh, I hope they both get the book thrown at them ... Skirtel has got away with thuggery for ages , Slippy as we all know is well past his sell by date and how on earth did he win over 100 England caps is English football really that bad? I hope teams in the States have shin guards tied to the goal posts because they will need them.
