Having to many foreign players undermines the nationality of the league and the national team itself. More English players in the EPL will be much better for the national team in future years.
In the EPL, Arsenal will be the hit the hardest. Wenger opted to bring in youth from the continent and ignored home grown talent as it generally takes longer and more expense due to FA rules about academy members living within 45 minutes of the academy, etc.

it's horrible to see Arsenal full of frenchs (don't get me wrong, it's just an example), with just one or two english players in the field. Chelsea played a couple years ago with an all-foreigner starting XI. That's sick.

Arsenal has Quincy, Senderos, Hoyte,Bentley(maybe), Aliaidiere(maybe), The kid who shall not be named, Lupoli, Cesc, Garry(maybe) and Larsson to qualify for this ruling. Arsenal is more then ready for this if it is imposed and you will see even more poaching going around.

heres what Wenger thinks
rsene Wenger is fuming with Uefa's decision to change the rules regarding homegrown players.
The European footballing authorities want clubs to field at least eight so-called 'homegrown' players in their 25-man squads by 2008 and Wenger, who has made a success of recruiting promising teenagers from abroad, is far from happy about the proposals.
Wenger stressed it is up to the Premier League to dispute the regulations but it is clear the Frenchman feels it is not the answer to any of football's problems.
"I feel, yes, there will be a challenge [to it]," he stated. "It's a very bad rule; a rule without thought and with negative effects, especially on the market of young players.
"The clubs will be out to buy very young players for high money, just to make them homegrown players.
"It will be a prize for mediocrity; quality will not be dominant but more where you come from.
"I think it's very important you feel you are the best when looking in the mirror, not because you were born in the right country.
"You will keep 35-year-olds, give them contracts just because they are homegrown to keep up the numbers.
"The best players play and that is the only thing that is good for the game.
"What is the difference between Arsenal's financial potential and ten other teams in the league? None.
"Chelsea will buy the young players for less money. It will be worse as they can create academies all over the world and take the best players in every country and then take them back here.
"It is an artificial rule. The perverse effects of this rule are not in the spirit of the top level of competition and the education [process]. It is just a narrow look at how we can protect the national teams in completely the wrong way.
"Arsenal cannot challenge it. Only the English Premier League can accept or not accept.
"Uefa want this for European competitions and then it's down to every country to go with the rule or not.
"It could happen that the rule only exists in the European Cup."
