Gary Neville believes a quota system should be introduced to the Premier League to help the home nations.

Neville's co-analyst at Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher, believes that academies should be prevented from buying foreign players. "Academies should be there for our kids and if you buy foreign players they should be in the first team," said Carragher in The Independent. "I don't think it should be made easy for players to get into your first team. The foreign players have been brilliant for this country, but it's at the stage now where reserve and youth teams are full of foreign players. "What chance do young players have if they can't get into the youth or reserve team? Let's give them that chance to show a manager what they can do and then ask, are they ready?"
