All it means is that the best ''homegrown'' players will have a premium in the transfer market...

A deal has definately been done with Europe. This covers a number of issues - UK clubs finances, home grown quota, poaching young players from abroad.
Clearly a behind the scenes deal. This is very good news for us IMO as we have have such a strong english based academy anda fair few english players in the squad already.

It depends.
If it doesn't affect their immediate futre, then no.
Good job Hughes is desperate to improve our academy then isn't it?der-bomber said:All it means is that the best ''homegrown'' players will have a premium in the transfer market...

If the PL are in control, then it protects the rags from UEFA.
But what saves them boosts us by a country mile.

it seems to me that they are encouraging the pursuit of young foreign players so that you can have them in your academy for three years before getting them in the squad

arsenal are buggered lol
Goalkeepers
* Joe Hart (ENG)
* Stuart Taylor (ENG)
Defenders
* Joleon Lescott (ENG)
* Wayne Bridge (ENG)
* Shaleum Logan (ENG)
* Nedum Onuoha (ENG)
* Micah Richards (ENG)
Midfielders
* Gareth Barry (ENG)
* Michael Johnson (ENG)
* Shaun Wright-Phillips (ENG)
Strikers
* Craig Bellamy (WAL)
11 players currently in the squad of 25 so we are well inside those limits already even without the fringe academy players. English / Welsh prem quality players = very valuable now.

So long as you can chop and change your squad of 25 as you see fit I don't really see a problem.
But if it's a static squad that can't be changed easily in the event of injury or a young kid in good form deserving a callup then I think it will be a bad thing.

that's a HUGE assumption.
if anything, this is evidence of how seriously of Platini's threats are being taken. Who's to know if this will be anywhere near enough for Platini, UEFA, the other leagues and clubs? The political situation is quite complicated. I would have thought it was impossible to make any deal informally, given the numbers of interested parties. The European Commission have offered to formally broker a deal, and this has definitely not taken place yet. Perhaps this move is designed to strengthen the Premier Leagues position in those meetings, as it possibly weakens the case for external influence in their affairs, if they can show they are tackling their own problems pro-actively.
