QUOTE FIFA president Sepp Blatter has received a massive boost in his plans to implement the ‘6+5’ rule, after the world’s national federations voted overwhelmingly in favour of the proposal… The FIFA World Congress convened in Sydney yesterday to moot the issue, voting 155 to 5 (with 40 abstinences) in favour of Blatter’s plan to limit foreign players within clubs. If ultimately passed, the rule would see all clubs forced to field at least six homegrown players per match, in an attempt to encourage the development of local talent in countries flooded by imports. The quota scheme has met with strong opposition in Europe, especially from the continent’s biggest clubs, many of whose squads will have to be overhauled to meet requirements. The European Union have also opposed the scheme, claiming that in its current format it is illegal as it would restrict players’ rights to move freely between EU countries. Thus, Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini were asked "to explore all means within the limits of the law to ensure that these crucial sporting objectives be achieved." If this goes through, then three clubs I can think of who are in deep shite are Inter, Arsenal and Chelsea And Madrid's mid-field??. Though Chelsea will probably just buy Micah Richards. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) We have if I'm not wrong.. Oddo..Nesta...Pirlo...Ambro...Rino...Pippo as starters. So now we might have Borriello and Abbiati as well. So this sounds safe for us. In what way do you think it can be made legal?? 6 players in the team must either be nationals and/or have been recruits from the youth squad?? Will that suffice?

Inter might as well just pack up and move to Argentina.

Inter will not have a problem. 4 native players will be required by 2010, 5 the next year and 6 after that.

One of his only good ideas in my opinion. Although what's to stop the big clubs forging a 'Super League' and playing under their own rules?

Actually, Milan will have as big a problem as Inter... I cannot imagine that by 2012, Ambro, Oddo, Nesta, Pirlo, Ambro, Rino, Pippo and Zambrotta if he comes will be starters... so think again before laughing at Inter!

Would be nice if it did go through. Arsenal would be in major trouble, Inter too!

Surprise surprise (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) IMO it is an excellent idea, probably the best thing Blatter has ever come up with. Anything that brings on young home grown players can only be a positive. |

I don't see what the EUs problem is with it to be honest. How on earth is it stopping foreigners playing? If I can read correctly, which I believe I can, it states that only 6 players need to be home grown. So what about the other 5 spots, surely that's for the foreigners? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Not only that, but football teams have a squad, teams that have a squad of 22 players could still have upto 16 foreigners, yeah, it's really stopping them from working isn't it.
