FIFA's Five Foreign Player Plan

The world governing body FIFA has approved plans to introduce a quota of 5 foreign players per team although whether it will ever get the green light is another matter as the European Commission have been quick to point out that the proposal actually contravenes EU labour laws.

From an English point of view a restriction on foreign players would be welcomed by anyone with the national sides interests at heart although this would be better for the clubs point of view if it were brought in gradually over a period of seasons to allow the clubs to accommodate the new rules.

Would it lead to a better England team? Yes I firmly believe it would more younger players would get more opportunities regardless of whether they played for a top four premiership team or a struggling side although the benefits would take a while to filter through the game.
