The trouble with the home grown options, is that we have no club trained players over 21 to include in the CL Squad.
So this will probably mean we will have no more than 4 home grown players over 21 in the EPL Squad. There would be no point in signing players who can't play in the CL.
I think that 21 players over 21 is enough, especially when we have the likes of Denayer and Lopes on top of that as u21's who can genuinely contribute.
Chelsea did fine last season with 20 senior players + Zouma + Loftus Cheek.
17 Non HG + HG (Hart, Sterling, Delph, Clichy) + U21s (Lopes, Pozo, Ihenacho)
Need to get 2 Non HG out the door (Dzeko, Jovetic) to bring in Poba/KDB
Can't see both of them coming in. Moreover, we won't need KDB with Toure/Pogba, SIlva and Lopes in our teamPozo will go on loan mate, it will be Denayer as the U21.
I agree though mate, this looks like our HG quota set.
Hopefully Dzeko and Jovetic out, KDB and Pogba in now.
He'd make a useless goalie or rightback for sure wouldn't you say?P.S. How can so many people want Dzeko to leave with Sagna and Caballero staying?? Even if Pellegrini would've told you that he'll definetly use 4-2-3-1 formation this season, it doesn't make Dzeko a useless player
Ihenacho hasn't been here long enough (2 years) if it's CL squads we're talking about, he would need to go on the 'A' list.17 Non HG + HG (Hart, Sterling, Delph, Clichy) + U21s (Lopes, Pozo, Ihenacho)
