Re: City & FFP (continued)

Benji not a happy bunny about 5HG reports. He's on the phone to Platini as we speak

I see our friend ben rumsby is at it again (read from bottom to top)...

Will Uefa stand firm or back down? Either way, it could get messy. #ffp

Being allowed five homegrown players would render 'sporting sanction' almost meaningless as they'd only have to omit one foreign star.

Another potential row brewing over #mcfc FFP squad cut, involving either the club and Uefa or possibly other clubs and Uefa...

Sorry if already posted. Seems City are trying to get the homegrown quota down to 5?

That twat is reading this forum. Potential row brewing my arse, wishful thinking on his part more like. His way of saying to his journo mates...hey, look at this, I've caught City trying to cheat again. They will be making a beeline to Wenger's holiday villa to get a reaction as we speak.

Also, the MUEN putting the story out online that 'City want to keep it quiet' is hardly 'keeping it quiet' now is it ffs.

Independent reporting it to as part of James Milner story.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

If it's true we can only name 5 homegrown players for next years tournament, I would treat that as a massive win for City.

The restriction of 21 players with 5 homegrown will effectively allow us to pick Hart, Milner, Clichy, Lopes and Guidetti.

Leaving a 16 man squad of Pants, Zabba, Vinny, MDM, Kola, Ferna, Yaya, Spanish Dave, Nasri, Garcia, Navas, Jojo, Dzeko, Kun and The Beast.

how do you fit in our Lescott replacement CB, Fernando and Sagna?

Re: City & FFP (continued)

If the MUEN story has some basis in truth, the whoever at the club leaked it to them, no doubt for a large wedge, wants hauling over the coals at least.
If we agreed this with UEFA on the understanding we'd keep quiet then someone needs to get a grip of the leak.

Same problem even with a 25 man squad, we'd only have room for one more non-HG player.

Only 15 there mate. Pants going will give us another HG slot to fill so Lopes no need to include ( can play anyway) guidetti also likely to go so Boyata could be included - only club trained one we have. Gives us two free overseas - Sagna and CB. Hope milner stays. Think we may sell Garcia to fit in Fernando. Leaves space for Rodwell if Milner leaves.

Apologies if anyone has already poisted this: 'UEFA to allow a reduced homegrown quota':

Paywall mate, any chance you could cut and paste it?
