I think this rule will fuck us more than it fucks Inter, at least there is some good talent in Italy. England on the other hand....

I'm hoping the EU stops this though, it does violate the freedom of worker movement the EU has always been advocating.

Fuck the EPL! I hope this rule is passed and English clubs will be fighting with Slavia Prague in the Intertoto!
Buffon, Chiellini, Criscito, De Ceglie, Giovinco, Marchisio, Nocerino, Camo, Amauri.
There's 9 players who will be available to us in 2011.
Moratti better start cloning Materazzis.

The mancs wont be affected too much tbh. Rooney, Giggs, Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves, G.Neville, O'Shea, Brown and Ferdinand all homegrown players.

It doesn't violate the freedom of workers movement it just "limits" it.....It is really dump when someone watches a game where an italian club (inter) meets an english club (arsenal) and u never find either an italian or an english starter in each side :shifty: .......

i believe the only way this will get round the euro regulations will be to adjust it to the UEFA idea. basically the "homegrown" players can actually be foreigners that have come through the youth ranks(which would be great for arsenal) not just buying ranks of mercenaries(bad for inter).
UEFA have been floating this idea for a while that you are allowed a few foreigners but there must eb a percentage of "home grown" players,either players of the clubs nationality or that had been brought through the ranks.
i think this will be more workable with EU regulations but could lead to english clubs pillaging italian,french and spanish training academies even more than they do now. they would then need to even out the regulations across europe that allow english clubs to benefit through child labour loopholes

    Giggs isn't from England, and he retired. But you're right, Arsenal is going to have a problem with this rule.

    He's a homegrown player though, he was with them since he was 14 years old. Not to mention, and i may be wrong here, but i think he has an English passport.

    I don't know how they would work the thing with Giggs because there is no such thing as an English passport, just a British one.

    :lol: does not matter what part you come from in the british isles,you have a british passport.

    with any luck english teams will have to buy scottish players again:weee:

    but seriously,i think the "home grown" rule could eman arsenal continue on their policy of signing outstanding young talent from all over the world and developing them, as technically they are still "raising" them

    Will this rule be applied world wild??

    I think Juve don't have any problem with this rule. But I was thinking about UAE last night, they have a few national players as I remember. There are a lot of Iranian players there... If this rule will be applied worldwild, they will be fucked I think! Won't they Fred??!

    UEFA and FIFA need to learn that they are not above European and global law. This rule cannot stand.
