There is, however I think thats the failing of our youth system. We just don't bring through technical intelligent players, all we'd do by banning or restricting numbers is take the english game back to the 80's.

I watched Brechin yesterday, one touch football.. hoof... hoof.. brechin had a front line of nice technical players, young lads, slight, short but fast... yet the were still hoofing balls at them... everything wrong about the British system was highlighted.. they had a freekick, 10 mins to go one nil down, you looked across the bck line and every player gave 2-3 inches on his marker, and the centre back just floats a high ball up.. just incredible.

I like the 4 home grown players in the squad rule, encourage the development. However Wenger has changed and realises the value of english players and those that make it are far better now.. wilshere et al. Strangely the best thing to happen has been the stupid prices, its forced clubs to invest in youth. At the moment I think the english gave is healthier than is made out at the 20-25 level. Maybe not in numbers but in quality technical players.
