Fox in a Box Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 Uefa's plans to introduce a quota system for homegrown players have been ratified. The 52 member associations unanimously voted in the new regulations which will be introduced to European competition from the 2006/07 season, at Uefa's annual congress in Estonia. Europe's governing body revealed plans earlier this year, which wanted eight homegrown players to be in every club's squad of 25 players by 2008. Currently, clubs name a 25-man squad before every European season, but there are no limits currently imposed on them. However, the new rules mean from next year clubs playing in Europe will need four homegrown players in their squads - two club-trained players and two association-trained players. In 2007 clubs will need three from each category and in 2008 - four from both. Uefa defines club-trained players as anyone with a club for three years or more and aged between 15 and 21, while an association-trained player is someone of the same criteria but he could have been signed from another club. There is no limit set on club-trained players, so any side can fill their quota with them - but you cannot have more than the specified association-trained players, meaning clubs cannot merely buy players in to meet the criteria.
davieG Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 About time and definitly a step in the right direction.
kenny Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 Bet Man Utd will be well happy, they are the only one of the top 3 teams that can achieve at the mo.
Collymore Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 This could mean that the big clubs are going to scout clubs like Leicester's youth players and claim them as their own. Where will UEFA draw the line on a home grown player? Lets take Jordan Stewart for example. Could we claim him as a home grown player or would UEFA say that he is a product from Villa. If the rules are bendy then you will get the big clubs taking players like Stearman and Dawson, keeping them in there youth/reserves for a season and then claiming them to be home grown talent which means that the smaller clubs will just become farms for the supermarkets. UEFA need to be strict and let the big clubs know that home grown means home grown.

Louise Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 Uefa defines club-trained players as anyone with a club for three years or more and aged between 15 and 21 96435[/snapback] Jordan came to us at 16 so would count as one of our home-grown players I think. Not that it matters as we'll not be playing in Europe in the near future

davieG Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 Collymore: which means that the smaller clubs will just become farms for the supermarkets. That's still an improvement on them bringing in young 'foreigners' and calling them their own. Besides this is traditionally how smaller clubs have survived, so provided they get a fee for those they 'pinch' I don't see that as a problem it's cetainly the lesser of two evils.

So for example Man United wouldn't be allowed to go out and buy Rooney, Defoe, Wright-Phillips, Lampard and Terry, etc??? I don't understand. Or are they allowed to buy as many english players as they want but they've still got to have 4 homegrown players in their squad too?

But it only applies to the European squad of course!
Chimp Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 Let's make it nice and simple then! 96471[/snapback] Yes, like the new offside rulings...
Random Burglar Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 Doesnt matter if they are a product of another side as long as they are English and come through an English academy!! I think!!
