What is Blatter on?

Last updated : 19 December 2005 By Paul Lagan
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has launched an attack on Chelsea as he called for limits on foreign stars, writes the BBC.

Blatter said: "If a club can only have five foreigners among their starting 11, then they will have to build on their own youth system.

"If Chelsea were forced to have five foreigners then Roman Abramovich could not go on buying the best players across the world for exorbitant fees.

"Chelsea is the example of what should not happen."

Blatter made his comments in an interview with Fifa's official 2006 World Cup countdown magazine.

He wants restrictions on imports and said: "This helps the public identify with the players in the team. It would also ensure the rich do not get richer and the poor become poorer."

Perhaps Blatter should ask Chelsea what their policy is before opening his stupid mouth?

Everyone in England is aware of Chelsea's desire top produce home-grown players.
And let's not forget that some high-profile Chelsea targets have prefered NOT to take the Chelsea dollar and have either stayed at their clubs or chosen other venues to ply their trade.

Blatter is talking absolute rubbish.
