If we sign all the players we are rumoured to be signing we could end up playing a team including Alves, Milito, Aurelio, Leto, Leiva, Mascherano and Voronin, non of whom are from the EU. Isn't there some rule were you are only allowed 3 or 4 non-EU players in your team? Signing these players would significantly limit Rafa's options when it comes to picking teams.

Yes, that limitations must be taken under consideration.

In theory there's an agreement to achieve double nationality between Spain, Argentina, Chile and other countries. In the practice, normal working class immigrants do not make it, but rich people and footballers do. Daniel Alves for instance, has a Spanish passport. And I think Milito too, all they need to get it is to find a grandfather or grand-grand-grand-father who is spanish, and you know when it comes to Argentinians and Chileans, that's easy.

I'm sure the club bears in mind that kind of things, like every club.

I don't like this rule. I consider it be typical European protectionism.

Worldwide free trade should allow us to sign players from anywhere.

In five years, our entire team would be Chinese!
