Oh Man!! We thought Arsenal had passed the worst of their troubles. Eduardo’s injury, a mid season collapse, loss of the EPL title, FA Cup and the UEFA Champions league loss to Liverpool. And now a dramatic Flamini transfer and a more tussled Hleb leave from Arsenal. We, the Gooners have seen it all.
Arsene Wenger is now facing financial problems and chasing many players, the best of whom (Ben Arfa and Samir Nasri) are on the verge of signing an Arsenal contact.
But these troubles are just the tip of the iceberg. The real troubles are just beginning, or actually have begun yesterday.
Sepp Blatter, the chairman of the FIFA had decided to take some action after European heavyweights England exited the EURO 2008 after only the qualifying round. Now he has passed a law saying that only 5 foreigners are allowed to start in every club game in Europe.
“It is an exciting new law, and has been passed by the Australian delegates with an absolute sweepout vote.” Blatter said. “And now Platini has also agreed to this law to encourage new talent of the home country to be cultivated in the home league.”
As we all know, EPL has the highest concentration of foreign players in the world. A few clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham will not suffer as they share between them, nearly all the top English stars.
But clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool have only foreigners playing the exciting football. For Arsenal, Theo Walcott, Justin Hoyte and mostly Manuel Almunia (opting for English citizenship) are the only Englishmen whereas Liverpool has Steven Gerarrd and Jamie Carragher as their native players.
So Wenger and Benitez have to look for new English talent to supplement their squad.
“We don’t expect every club to get their native players this season. It shall be 4(natives) – 7 (foreigners) in the 2010 season, 5-6 in 2011 and then the final 6-5 in 2012.”,Blatter said as this rule was met with outrage all over the world.
Will Arsenal perish?? That is the main question. Pray, Gooners , Pray for the club!!!!!
Come On Arsenal !!!!!!
