3 foreigner rule, should we have some restrictions bought back?

Even though the foreign players make the team stronger, it would be better to limit them, so that we can bring our own players through...this would translate into a stronger national side.

I believe that some sort of criteria for limiting the amount of non English players in a team, and this would only be good for the national teams but not only in England but a general rule to all clubs in all country's. you want to see the best players in your club but not at the expense of heritage, also a national coaching school shoud be opened like the french have got at arsenal.

I'd like to see restrictions brought back because British football is dying on its feet, but because of the laws protecting our right to work anywhere in the EU, we couldn't do it. We would have to exempt footballers from the human rights act, which seems a bit extreme, or restrict footballers from outside the EU, but there's not much point to that as most imports are still from EU countries.

I'd rather see the FA working with league teams to provide better standards of local coaching and training. Some teams are really good at it anyway, but its usually the poorer ones who can't afford the astronomical transfer fees that invest in good training schools.

Anything that restricts the rights of footballers to work would restrict the rights of the rest of us too.

Personally I like the mix of foreign players in the British game. The number who come over and fail shows how the english game is different and suited to specific talents. Home grown players are doing ok so I don't see a problem with foreigners coming in. What we do need is wage caps - take the advantage from Chelsea a bit.

I think FIFA are considering this, I doubt the English FA could try anything on their own, since English clubs have to comply with UEFA, Champions league rules. There are fewer and fewer home grown players in the English premiership, and that is a shame, just compare it to 10 years ago.

nice thought but unfortunately it would be illegal to restrict the number of people you are allowed to employ from other Eu countries. you are not allowed to discriminate on employment based on country of origin - its Eu legislation.

welcome to the european union mate! unfortunately we live in a country that feels it needs to follow the laws - other countries simply tell brussels to stuff off.

would be good not to have any foreigners in the football leaugues if you ask me - i've lost all interest in the game since it become a home for all - what happened to the glory days in the 80's when it was brits fighting brits eh? that was proper manchester playing proper southampton or whoever - now its just a bun fight of immigrants running round the pitch playing like idiots.

que pasa?

they could do, Inter Milan in basic terms had one Italian beginning for them on Tuesday. different communities like actual Madrid have a great variety of remote places gamers. this can be the guy Utd team if this rule replaced into utilized and its no longer too undesirable? GK:Foster RB:Gary Neville CD:Ferdinand CD:Evans LB:Evra RM:Ronaldo CM:Scholes CM:Hargreaves LM:Giggs CF:Rooney CF:Berbatov can i put in Evans and Giggs? besides they could no longer try this this because of the fact the ecu does no longer enable it.

yes it should, how many times have arsnel put a team out with only 1 or 2 english players in it

You could limit the number of players from outside the European Union but players from inside the EU could not be limited without breaking the law.

So Arsenal will always be full of Frenchmen, etc.

Do you mean "brought" back and not "bought" back?

They are brining in restrictions on the players over the next few years to limit the number of players.
