Nonsense, all it will serve to do is weaken the Premiership. The reason our national team doesn't have the strength in depth that it should is that our youth system is a joke. Because of our 'win at all costs' mentality kids are taught how to win football matches instead of how to play good football. And to be honest, other than the latest qualifying campaign which truly was a disgrace, England don't really under perform at all. Two quarterfinal finishes and a semi final one in the last three big tournaments? Nothing to be ashamed of, we perform better than Spain and look at the squad they've got.
its a short term loss. long term we will have a better and more native side leading to a better national team.
How do you work that one out? Limiting the number of foreigners will do nothing to improve the standard of English players, in fact if anything it will do the opposite, it will lower the standard of our league and we'll end up with a worse national team. The fact that football is played at such a high level in the Premiership is pretty much the only reason England have a decent national team at all, as we do such a poor job of raising young talent. It's not worth arguing over anyway, the rule will never come into action as EU law won't allow for it.

i disagree... less foreign players in the teams means more english players get a taste of first team football making them better. if they dont get first team football how will they be better? imagine how many good footballers arseanl could have had if more were english... they have great training facilities but no english can exploit them..

What good is more first team football if you're at a lower level? And it's training that makes good players not first team football anyway, you can't just stick lower quality English players in an Arsenal team and expect to get good players out of it. The best players will always play at the top level, and with the system we've got they'll play at a higher level too. Get rid of the foreigners and we'll end up with a lower quality league just for the sake of having a few more mediocre players in the top flight. It would be a glorified Championship.
