Rammyblues said:Please, when I started this squad list business off I did say that CL squad rules are different than prem rules. I also said IF Mancini wants players to be included in both the harder of the two rules to satisfy are the CL squad rules. My answers above relate really to them, yes we can have more players for prem league but if he signs a Cavani, Hummels, Isco, DDR, Agger they are not coming here only to play in the prem league but will expect to play in CL.
So before we sign any you have to see who will not be involved in CL and be content purely with prem league and whether Mancini wants to create a false divide amongst the players. From a man management point of view he will want to treat them all the same so the players feel they all have an equal chance of playing in all competitions.
Good post. Seems to me that even if we have deals lined up. We can't proceed until some leaves. Looks like the only deal which may happen is AJ Sinclair and that's it. Unless Kolo or NDJ leave we're stuck<br /><br />-- Thu Aug 23, 2012 9:24 pm --<br /><br />

AM - Nasri, Silva, Sinclair
Strikers - Aguero, Dzeko, Balo and Tevez
Not sure if Rodwell and Boyata have to included in the 25 man squad there both 21.
You need three keepers for a start, Rodwell will be included Boyata not really important.
The easy way to do this 25 players, 4 of which must be club trained, so if you want to have full maximum 25 squad there must 4 four of these, if they are under 21 you don't need to include them because of the B lists (provided been at club three years)
So who in our squad count as club trained, there are potentially three, Richards Boyata and Johansen (3rd keeper)
Because we only have three club trained players the effect of that will be to limit the A list to just 24 players in total.
25 squad players minus 4 club trained means there are 21 other places up for grabs. If you do the maths we have 21 other type players on our books. The CL squad is full. Which is why I said if someone such as Cavani is to come in one of those players have to leave. It is that simple really.
MJ is club trained, even though he won't play doesn't that give us an extra place
