Thanks ed, what's your take on Serie A wanting to use 5 subs per game? Has it been a success in Serie C?

I think 5 subs would make the game a lot less competitive, when the big guns can bring on 5 fresh players against a lower ranked side it's bound to give them a massive advantage.

{Ed001's Note - or it can help the smaller teams freshen up their team when their tired legs threaten to allow the bigger teams to overwhelm them?

It should give an advantage to those with the bigger squad, but it depends on how it is used, so it would depend a lot on the managers. I would hope it would mean more youngsters could get time on the pitch and so be good for football.}

For god's sake WHY, WHY do we keep missing out on signing Honda!? and also why did none of the Eds even tells us about this prior to it happening!?

{Ed001's Note - I was surprised he is only 33, feels like he has been around for about 30 years!}

I would hope there is a rule saying something like, you can make 5 subs, but can only do it in thee goes. Imagine you’re 1-0 down at the team make a sub the next five times the ball goes out.

{Ed001's Note - that is part of it yes. They are only allowed 3 stoppages to make them.}

That’s because he was a staple yearly rumour every transfer window about 10 years ago Ed. Ah the memories!

{Ed001's Note - feels like longer. What a player he was at his peak, shame he never got a move to the Prem.}

Hey ed001, would you think having 5 subs but 3 have to be youth players be a way to go? I just worry the likes of city will just put 5 world class players on the field if they could.

{Ed001's Note - why would City be relevant? They don't play in Serie A.}

If they where to do something similar in the EPL I mean Ed.

{Ed001's Note - more of a problem would be keeping 5 world class players happy coming off the bench.}

Five subs would be great if for example 2 had to be from under 21s and it wasn't five single subs. It would give our top players a rest and give the youth a chance.
If we are 3 nil up with 20 mins bring on they youngsters and get them some game time.
