Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has challenged FIFA's proposal to implement a proposal to limit the number of foreign players fielded by European clubs.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has proposed that European clubs must field a minimum of six home players, with a maximum of five foreigners, otherwise known as the "six-plus-five" rule.

Dein said: "This is totally illegal and it will be challenged by the clubs.

"If FIFA want to light another fire then so be it, but this will be a very hot fire.

"I hope this idea does not go any further."

Dein was speaking as the head of the G14, which represents 18 of Europe's richest clubs.

"I appeal to FIFA for a period of calm. We are currently on the road to resolving a lot of the problems in the game, so there is no need to cause any more headaches."

Dein also thinks that the proposal is a breach of European law and rules of a free labour market in the European Union.

You have to admit... he has a point.

It's any wonder that it's Arsenal making the point. The club has 99% overseas players from the 1st Team down to the academy!!

The matter wouldn't interest Dein or their club unless they had a huge vested interest in it.

so what if its arsenal, would you rather have 6 average english players or 6 top quality foreign players? you pick on quality not nationality. why should a player be denied his chance because he wasent born in england?

I don't give a rats ass. I only care about our national team and how the national league serves it.
