Arsene Wenger has described it as a "disastrous" decision, while Wayne
Rooney sees it as "welcome and important".

The Premier League's new rules on squad limits and home-grown quotas
comes in to effect this season,

From 1 September, teams must name a 25-man squad containing at least
eight 'home-grown' players, with any number of under-21s, regardless
of their nationality, allowed to supplement that squad.

A player is regarded as home-grown if he has spent 36 months or more
with a club associated with the English or Welsh FA before his 21st
birthday - or the end of the season during which he turns 21.

The rules have left a whole host of clubs, most notably the likes of
Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, facing a fine balancing act in
the coming weeks.

Man City look all right by your list... Arsenal and Wigan look bad, as

The problem City may have is many of their players have only recently
joined them, but I agree they should be ok.

RD hasn't figured out the practice of providing links yet:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/8902975.stm

The problem for Man City isn't the home-grown rule, it's the squad
limit. 29 senior players listed and probably Balotelli and Milner
still to arrive.
