good news from UEFA.. from the 06 \ 07 season all UEFA comps, not national leagues, will have to field 4 "homegrown players" although this only means a player that has been at the club for 3 years, whatever his nationality it is a step in the right direction..

if that was in place this season then arsenal, chelsea, celtic and ajax wouldn't be eligable with their current squads..
this is good as a national league side should predominantly have players born in that country it is part of the identity of a club and was one of the worst things to come out of the Bosman club..
a club should represent the community it is from not just be made of a collection of players who have been bought like the Chelsea side,, even the Man U side has been mainly bought nowour last crop of youth players are getting old..
