personally the influx of foreigners has never appealled to me and has distanced the clubs from the fans that are turning up.. I still can't understand how the judge in the Bosman case got rid of the 3+2 rule when that wasn't what the case was about.. as has been stated the situatio is now so bad that even at youth level the teams are full of foreigners

personally i'd like all under 18 side to be made up of local players.. it helps the the clubs but money back into the local community.. it helps the national game and team develop and it's better for the players themselves as well..

the problem is in some areas.. the boarders between England and Scotland and France and Spain, Basque region etc signing someone from across the border is still signing a local

you only have to look at the team sheets in the Championship and even league one to see how bad the foreign influx has got and this isn't just a problem with the English league either
