Thoughts on the attempt to implement quotas to keep more homegrown talent in the leagues, and decrease amounts of foreign players.

the thing with this 6+5 rule is clubs will get round it by bringing in as much young talent as possible, which will give english lads even less chance of getting through. as usual its a knee jerk from uefa and will not work. plus im sure its illegal. isnt their an emplyment rule that wll stop this?

You can not stop the "movement of workers between EU states", however you can do what you wish with non-EU citizens.

In Italy they have restricted it to only one non-EU signing per season, and this has greatly decreased the amount of foreigners in their league.

I hope something is done, and am proud of the fact that the ECL final with us and Man U had so many Englishmen. If all teams are like Arsenal with one native, then whats the point?
