So far with everyone in the first team right now, we could register all of them and still have space left over for another centrehalf.
Homegrown in the Premier League rules only states 8 players trained in England, club trained is a UEFA thing for the Champions League, under that list Hart, Wright, Micah, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Rodwell, Sinclair and Guidetti would cover it.
The problem is that, in the Champions League, neither Nastasic nor Isco will count as U21 (as they have to be at the club for several years) Hart isn't 'club produced' so we also lose 3 places out of the Premier League 'homegrown' list, as only Micah from last season's squad, counts.
As it stands we have to tell several players that they can't play Champions League. Many people on here with no respect for Barry & Lescott will just say 'simple' drop them along with Garcia perhaps etc. Then we have only two recognised cbs in the Champions League squad & not one genuine defensive mid.
If we sign replacements for Lescott & Barry, we lose two more players out of the Chmps Lg squad to make way.
How many of the squad are happy to stay, purely for the occasional Prem & Cup game ?
This is not going to be easy, & shows why it's actually a neccessity to start producing genuine 'homegrown' players.
Why are you telling me like this it's new information?
Take a look at the thread title, reread what I posted, stop trying to tell me shit that doesn't belong here that I already know, and stop acting like douchebag who thinks he is the expert on everything.
