    Great news. Hopefully this will force the powers that be, to put some proper investment into grassroots football.

    According to the BBC report, nobody is being forced:

    "The Football Association, the Premier League and the English Football League have come together to agree the plan."

    Not sure where you get the idea of "force" robbie.

    They say that we wouldn't have been able to sign Pukki under the new rules, but he already had at least 65 caps by the time we signed him as well as having played a full season the year before so I don't think that can be quite right unless I am missing something.

    Okay I found the official FA document and because he was playing in the Danish league and Finland weren't ranked higher than 50 he would have at most had about 11 points with 15 needed to be automatically granted a place so it would have had to go to a tribunal to see if we could have signed him

    Transfermarkt works on a similar principle to a Wiki, with much of the data being input by users. It has a system of content moderation, but this is no guarantee of accuracy or completeness. This modus vivendi extends even to the case of market valuations, which you might think are the best estimates of some expert in football economics; they aren't. Valuations are "crowdsourced" from opinions submitted by users (among whom may of course be the odd expert, as well as Joe Bloggs from down the street), subsequently moderated by a panel of so-called "judges". Goodness knows who contributed that list of Norwich City goal scorers, but it is clearly in need of sorting out -- as is much else on the site.

    Martian Peters always did play in a lot of space.
