At massive length we have discussed the 17 overseas players but who will be the 8 homegrown players as we may as well carry 8 especially if other teams aren't offering us good deals. I suspect they think we are not as strong as we are and they probably don't understand how quickly we will be restriction free!

Richard wright
Joe hart
Gael clichy
James Milner
Dedryk boyata

I reckon we might well keep Rodwell Sinclair and possibly even Richards as if we don't get good offers we may as well and with our limited squad in Europe we may well need them all in the domestic cups and busy weeks.

I have a feeling I have missed someone major though
 
Nasri is definitely not homegrown, he didn't join Arsenal until 2008, when he was 21 already.

As for Lampard, I'd be astounded if he signed on for City at any point before he went to New York. He may chose to train with us, to keep his fitness up, but I can't see him, or us, wanting to get him involved in actually playing.
 
I think you are misleading everyone op.

We only need 5 homegrown players for our squad of 21. UEFA have bowed to pressure from the union.
Power to the people!

There's also a Premier League restriction, we have a 25 man squad, but 8 have to be homegrown.

City don't need to have 8 homegrown players, just that in the max squad of 25, you can only have 17 non-homegrown players. And the players you've named make all 8 of City's current HG players.

If we only name the 5 mentioned, we'll only name 22 in the list and every play under the age on 21 and has been at the club for 2 years plus doesn't need to be registered. Nastastic wouldn't need to be named on the list for example.
