Wenger 'amazed' by new rules
Arsène Wenger has slammed the new Premier League home-grown player rules.
The manager believes it will only have negative effects on the game and the transfer market.
Speaking to Arsenal.com yesterday, the boss said he was surprised that the new rule was introduced.
He said: "I am not a big fan of it. It puts first of all many players without clubs, that is the first mathematical consequence of it.
"Secondly it puts the clubs in a weak position most of the time on the transfer market.
"When you have already 25 [players in your squad], when you buy a player you know you have 26 and now you have to get rid of one. So you have to integrate in the transfer market when you buy a player how much as well it costs to get rid of a player.
"You are not sure after you will be capable to buy the player, so I believe it is a disastrous decision for football and for the players and I was quite amazed that the union accepted that. I believe as well for the clubs it is a very bad decision.
"The big clubs have 25 top players anyway and you will not stop that by these kind of decisions. When you have already employed a player and he has to go to a smaller club there are only two solutions; the smaller club pays above their potential or the big club takes a part of the salary. In both cases it is not satisfying."
