Rooney,Carrick,Ferdinand,Foster sure can.

I wouldn't say they are in deep sh*t but the fact is there will be some disadvantages to them.

Rio will be around 34 or 35, Carrick and Hargreaves will be 32 or 33, Brown will be 33 or 34 and Scholes would have retired so that leaves Rooney and Foster as starters as the rest can't play every game as they are aging.

tat time is showtime for Walcott and the rest...

wenger bought sol campbell,who is english,when he was around 26-27.wenger thinks that campbell was great and he became one of the key member of the invincibles.this proves that great player will be in the first team regardless of his nationality.

In theory, it looks like it will help national teams and even out local leagues, but in practice, I don't think it will happen.

Remember when the (then) M-League decided to have quotas and bans on foreign players because it was "degrading" our national team? I didn't see improvement at all. Sure, more players got to play on the first team, but as for affecting the national team, it didn't make much difference.

Like I've said if you wanna keep EPL entertaining, don't enforce it in the domestic league & cup ties. Maybe you can win the league back home but cannot even go beyond KO stage in Champions League. Or another example the whole field playing a UK home game & all 11 players don't even know what the home crowd is shouting about as none speak a word of English incl the coach, of course this is for the sake of quality football for the paying spectator. The same goes to our local league where there were some foreign imports to spice up the game here & it really increase crowd attendance due to the extra quality in games, but when they took them away the crown also stayed away; not to mention also the illlegal -betting $$

IMO, the whole thing is to cover the failure for England that did make it to Euro2008. They blame lack of quality players in the squad. When u have Gerrard, Rooney or Ferdinand, i don't think that's lack of quality players. All I blame is on the manager.

There's something wrong with the English player themselves. First, majority English players can't play abroad. They're stuck with playing for English club & if they play for other country's club, they'll suffer. I'm not saying all of them, but most of them. Secondly, English players are damn overpriced! Carrick for 14m pounds, Bent for 16m pounds, Ferdinand for 32m pounds, Wright-phillips for 24m pounds & recently, Barry for 15m pounds? There's this saying if Barry was Swedish or Danish, he'll worth around 2m or 3m pound, max.

Thirdly, English players do not have the qualities as they used to have. Players such as Shearer, Wright, Smith or Liverpool's Macca have long gone. There's still qualities English player around but only a handful. Even Carsson is a 'reject' in Aston Villa.

If the 6+5 rules implement, it will not only effect Arsenal, but all the other English teams, for sure. So i voted a no & Blatter, leave my game alone.

IMO, I personally think that it is good for the International side..but for the club like and us and Arsenal it will bring them a very big impact..

in my opinion, whoever is good, he gets to play..
implementing this rule will not directly upgrade the quality of the players... but may just spoil them...

of course Man United gonna to sign more english young players when those players getting older each year
