Has anyone seen the new UEFA limit on Foreign players for the Champs League – soon to make it to the leagues in general across Europe??? About time should help the flow of good young players through the league and motivate some sort of transfer market between the big clubs in England and the small ones Mean the end for Scottish football in Europe though finding 4 good Scottish players is going to wreck!1 All in all good news and might kerb some of Chelsea’s spending!! news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4233353.stm

Another point will be that any player at a club for over say 4 years who isnt from that country will no doubt be exempt. Celtic have a few , Rangers have both Klos and Ricksen for starters.

Interseting to see three british teams in the shameful 5!! I don't think this "rule" will make much difference, 4 home-grown players out of 25, in a squad of 15, it might as well be a one legged tramp from pride hill, sure he may be british but won't ever get to play. Plus it will also mean that Chelsea/Man u/Arse-hole-nel will simply bring the young frogs over to their academys at an earlier age. The big guns have to much money, to much clout and couldn't care a toss about home grown talent. The other day (cant remember who was playing) but it was a premiership game (might have been bolton/blackburn) and there was 18 diferent nationalities on the pitch...
