Blatter to step up Euro quota bid

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has told the BBC he is ready to challenge the European Union to get a quota on foreign players within European teams.
Blatter made his comments in response to an NOP poll of football fans for BBC1's Football Focus.

He wants clubs to be limited to five foreigners in their starting XI to allow homegrown talent to flourish.

Premier League spokesman Dan Johnson told Focus: "It's just not legal - under EU law we couldn't do it."

However, Blatter says football needs to act and says a reduction "is a good solution".

The 71-year-old Swiss argues that football deserves special treatment because it is not like any other job.

"Workers in Europe can circulate freely but footballers are not workers," he said.

"You cannot consider a footballer like any normal worker because you need 11 to play a match - and they are more artists than workers."

No coincidence certain fans are troubled looking at the makeup of their teams. Arsenal for instance....

Such an idea would be beneficial for the national team instead of seeing promising kids left on the bench or forced to look for employ lower down the pyramid which slows their development.

Usually Blatter is a clown(90% of the time) but on this issue he is right.
