Villa boss Lambert against foreign quotas

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is against foreign quotas.

Lambert is unconvinced about how beneficial the introduction of a foreign player quota in the Barclays Premier League would be for the England team.

Lambert said on Thursday afternoon: "I don't know if it's the answer.

"It (foreign imports) is not stopping the Bundesliga, is it? It's not stopping them (Germany) from producing their own players.

"It's hard to say. There's a lot of clamour when the national team is not doing well that it must be the fault of the league.

"If you're good enough you'll play."
