Why would it suck? Think there is significant amount of players who would have made it better if they had their home surroundings not dragged to England while 16, then loaned around or sitting in academy.Ouch, not being able to sign below-18 year olds is going to majorly suck for good academies. Although teenagers being transfered around like cattle should never be allowed in a first place so bad news good news I guess.
So for outside UK academys I think it is a plus, but bigger raiding will be done to lower league youngsters as big clubs will hord up more UK youngsters then.
Meanwhile Vitesse will sign ton of youngsters under 18 and then off to Chelsea maybe
