Time for the FA to act, for the good of the England team

I think you mean Everton. But he dint really ruin his career. Just proved he was another mercenary.

oh yea

i got mixed up
sorry guys
but did you see the way he was performing in everton, man u, he barely gets any attention, its always van der sar, ronaldo, ronaldo again, nani, giggs, carrick. u dont see much of rooney now.

and there is no reason to give me a negative rep just because i mixed up the teams u no :

2 League Championships, 1 Champions League and 1 Carling Cup later he might disagree with you.

The quota system is just silly. You pick players on merit of whether they're good enough. That's that. If England can't produce good enough footballers then tough. Get it sorted at grass roots level.

And Rooney is nowhere near his peak, either.

Someone suggested a limit on the size of the squad to around twenty-three or something like that, I think it was on Sky text. So, if there are major injury problems, then clubs would have to play the kids and the owners would have to fund the academies. What do you guys think of that idea?

If it was around 23 then the owners would just make sure there were 23 top quality players in the squad, meaning there would actually be less chances for youngsters to get a game.

No need for any sort of quota, if a player is good enough, he'll get a game.
