32 | Maximo Perrone - 2024/25

better than Nunes....why he's leaving?

How do you know he’s better than Nunes?

We’ve hardly seen him play.

Sometimes people would wonder why Cole was tried as left wing when he's clearly a right winger.. Pep wants to find out if a player is versatile enough to fit the system.. Bernardo left back.. Cancelo right wing.. Phil Foden left back.. KDB striker.. Jesus right wing back.

I think he'll make the team as he looks much bigger and stronger. Confirms what Pep thinks unless someone leaves, won't be more signings.

And we know we need a Rodri backup (who can play both as a 6 and an 8). Would explain why Pep is trying him as an 8 (trial by fire.. sink or swim) and he's done good.

BTW regarding the foreign slots.. Cancelo is not taking a slot.. he's dead to Pep. For 17 spots you have:

1. Haaland
2. Doku
3. KDB
4. Julian
5. Rodri
6. Gvardiol
7. Ortega
8. Dias
9. Akanji
10. Bernardo
11. Kovacic
12. Savinho
13. Nunes
14. Ederson
15.
16.
17.

We still have 3 spots open.. Ake, Bobb are domestic players so they don't take the foreign spots.

If Perrone stays and is registered he would take up a spot on the UEFA A list I think and along with the two over quota on the locally trained list it would mean no room for new signings unless Phillips and/or Cancelo leave.

Phillips must count as home-grown, surely?

yes - he's one of six locally trained (not club trained) - two over the limit of 4 which adds them to the Free list making it 16 - if you add Perrone that's the limit - no room for anybody else unless club trained.

I didn’t know there was a difference between club-trained and locally-trained.

Cancelo leaves.. everyone and their great great grandmother knows this.

Phillips most likely leaves.

And that's the state of things even before we get to Perrone.

correct one out one in if Perrone stays, otherwise we have a free space currently.

For UEFA only not the PL - 'home grown' includes both, minimum 8 of 25.

It’s hard to keep up; they are forever changing the rules.

Be odd if he doesn't go back to La Liga, Pep doesn't seem to include him with the likes of McAtee & O'Reilly.
