Just looking at the 3 promoted clubs summer windows last season.

Southampton:

All 3 of them did the boring 'buy English' and 'experience' thing and none of it worked. The only English signing for all 3 that was a major success was Delap for Ipswich.

You can make the case that each clubs best signing was from abroad. Fernandes for Southampton, El Khannouss for Leicester and Cajuste for Ipswich and none of them were that clubs most expensive deal. Signings like Ramsdale, Skipp and pretty much all the signings from the Championship just didn't work out.

Succumbed and watched that Bischoff video. Looks class, appreciate its highlights so naturally more attacking but feels more of a LW than a LB, but having someone in the squad who can challenge/cover both Mundle and Cirkin seems like a great option. If could get a cheaper, more experienced LB, happy to be pure cover and we’d be sorted on that side of the pitch

As a like for like replacement for Watsons role, don’t think we could do much better

Do we need to have a quota of English players in our squad? And do they have to be over a certain age?

Squad registration for the prem league is usually requiring 8 home grown players out of a 25 man named squad - under 21 players don’t count towards the 25 man registered squad.

Whilst I think Isidor and Mayenda do suit playing against a high line, is it not naive to assume the best coaches in the world would allow that to happen? Even if we are underdogs teams will set up to mitigate our threat, whether they seem it small or not.
