Even if they would get citizenship, what are we going to do with them till they will get it? 3-4 years is quite a long term.

Well, you can play them in the reserves, youth team or the full team if they are good enough. There arent restriction on the reserve teams.
alternatively you can just loan them out like we did with rossi for a bit.

the new rule will come in in 2012 and even if it came now we have enough "brirish" players to make that number easily. Im sure players like saha, silvestre, VDS who have been here long enough to have gained citzenship are probably british. On top of that we also have a large number of british players.
The quota isnt a problem for us. Its going to be clubs like chelsea and arsenal that need to worry, not us.
The numbers of foriegn players in the youth team is nothing to worry about because there are plenty of british players in there too.
