"Premier League relaxes laws
The influx of foreign players to the Premiership is set to increase after the Premier League decided to end the limit on non-EU players.
Under the previous rules, only three non-European Union players were allowed to play in Premiership matches in the same side.
However, that limit has now been dropped after the decision was reached at the Premier League's annual meeting in Leicestershire.
Liverpool were one of the leaders behind the campaign to relax the laws, as they have non-EU stars Jerzy Dudek, Stephane Henchoz, Vladimir Smicer, Igor Biscan and Milan Baros all competing for the three available places in The Reds' matchday squad.
The knock-on effect of the decision is likely to be that players from Africa, South America, Asia and Australia will become much more appealing prospects to Premiership clubs.

Certainly good news for us, especially with Diao (is he non EU?) and possibly Diouf joining us. By the way, anyone see Diouf against France?? Amazing.
