One idea I have thought of is that lower league clubs could sign a full quota of o/S U/23's and see how they acclimatise to British Football and then on sell them to EPL clubs if they make the grade. :idea: OM
I can only assume you are taking the piss here.

You want to encourage young foreigners in divisions that should be producing young English footballers?
Well most EFL clubs have a number of o/s players, probably even Millwall, and many of these are there mainly because they've played a fair few senior games overseas and that gives them an advantage over young British players.
British clubs have always been reluctant to 'blood' young players - even before the introduction of foreign players.
Speak for your own club, Millwall have a history of a great youth set up. We do have foreign players, our striker is welsh.

You say about blooding young players, so we should be encouraging teams to do it not just get players from overseas.

Not sure how that statement is relevant. The vote was made as the UK, not the individual countries.
