Chelsea captain John Terry has accused the Premier League of not being radical enough with their new rules on homegrown players. From next season, the 20 top-flight clubs will be required to have eight homegrown players - trained for three years under the age of 21 in England or Wales - out of a squad of 25.
"We can all put eight players in a squad of 25 but it doesn't necessarily mean they are going to be in the team so it still poses a problem," the England and Chelsea captain said on Sky Sports News.
"When I was coming through I always got told that if I was good enough I would get the chance, so it is up to individual players to work hard and prove they deserve a place.
"I think it is an easy way out because anybody can put eight homegrown players in a squad of 25.
"Until there is a rule that there has to be (homegrown) players in the starting XI, I don't think much is going to change because you can still have 11 foreign players in the team.
"I think it is going to be very much the same."
