Of course we do, we're an island (well Great Britain is).
But does our mentality need to change? Is it time we encouraged our young players to travel abroad and get into the great clubs of Spain, Germany and Italy through their youth schemes. After all, our domestic clubs are very good at farming talent from abroad - why shouldn't our own talent seek to learn more from the very clubs where we farm our managers from?
I'm starting to like Southgate's broad view ethos.
