Every club will have to name a first-team squad of no more than 25, of which a maximum of 17 may not be homegrown players.
The Premier League defines a homegrown player as a player who "irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Welsh Football Association for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21)."
So people what do you think of this new home grown rule that came into place this season. Do you think its a great idea or a bad one. please give ur opinions.Home Grown rule a good idea or bad one ?
I believe that this is a good idea for the smaller clubs in the Primer League as they now have more of a chance to compete with the bigger clubs. Also the bigger clubs like Man City can't just buy 10 new foreign players each season and put them on the first team. However there is a down side as clubs will keep the younger players just to fit the rules and they will never develop or be played the way they would if they were sent out on loan or sold to a lesser team. Also players like Fabregas would qualify as home grown under this rule as he was at Arsenal for three years between the age of 16 and 21. This is hardly helping the England team and clubs like Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City will just invest in younger foreign players to beat the rule.
So I can see the benefits of the rule being more chance of a new John Terry, Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrard and that the smaller clubs don't get left behind as much. Although the down side is still there and teams will get around the rule like with Fabregas.
you can certainly see the point but in practice it may result in some substandard players being included in team squads just in order to comply with the regulation even though the manager doesnt actually have any intention of ever playing them in the first team - so ironically they wil become worse players because they are not getting the practice - where previously they may have been sent off on loan to lower league clubs and get experience in competative matches.Home Grown rule a good idea or bad one ?
Good Rule was put in place to coincide with Blatters 6+5 rule.......shame we are the only league to still enforece it....although the Bunderleague and Dutch league do bring homegrown players through more than any other league.
I think its a great rule as it will give the under 21 players more chance of breaking through.
It is a good rule but i think it could have been better. With the recent standards of the home nation teams i think pushing actual home grown ie british born players it would improve our international chances and over payed divas from all over the world wouldn't see the premiership as a meal ticket.Home Grown rule a good idea or bad one ?
i dont really see how it helps to develop english players. clubs can sign foriegners under 21 and they can go into the squad as they are not counted among the 25. seems like a waste of time to me.
I don't know why we are focusing on rules like this when we have bigger problems. Goal line technology is essential and blatter isn't doing anything about it. Seriously people, OPEN YOUR EYES!
I think it's a disgrace what they determine as 'home grown''.... all the PL teams can tap up 16-18 year olds, keep them in the club for 3 years then their considered home grown?... what a load of crock...
I think its a good idea so long as your not a Man Utd fan ....lol
I think you should look at good Man utd kids coming through... La Macherada, Diouf, Hernandes....all future England prospects!!! Are they not!!!!? lol
I lovin the homegrown.
It is a VERY good idea...... as long as you dont support Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City
yes
Good rule as it allows clubs especially top clubs to really CONSIDER home grown talent. but has its flaws as well.
Consider this: Jay Spearing will be 22 this year. he can't seem to break into the first team bcoz really he is not talented enough. However bcoz of the home grown rule Liverpool won't sell him as he helps them meet their quota. so Liverpool are stuck with a player that they may not want but keep him bcoz they risk being under their quota or would have to spend a large sum on English talent(like Milner or Ashley Young, who are good but overpriced) to keep their quota. the player's growth is stunted bcoz he cud have gone on to another club and made his name there..as in the cases of Warnock and Guthrie, but he continues to ride the bench until he's 25+ bcoz a quota must be filled. I rather see 6 of 25 as it gives teams more flexibility.
