It's Quiet 32 - enter at own risk

[Centurions]

Add to that the association players allowed 4 only for CL but 8 for prem.

CL
Delph
Sterling
Walker
Stones

But if Delph leaves we could then buy another association player eg Maguire.

Homegrown
Foden and Angelino, Garcia that would be a 24 man squad for CL.

Foden will be on the U21's list which is unlimited.

He won’t be the long term solution... Mendy will either catch a break with injuries or we’ll invest come jan/next summer. He’s done well but he isn’t a top grade left back!

Completely agree with you but there is no way we sell zinchenko this summer. He has earned his spot for now.

I'm surprised we are seemingly not interested in Ake.

Think it's purely down to size, realises the need for a bit of height, Pep mentioned the fact he holds his breath at set pieces. Rodri fits the bill in midfield. I do like Ake though

Yup, but a great deal of planning will be done in case of potential transfer bans, hence the Angelino links... he’s there for the time being but I think that this is one situation that can change quicker than others!

Foreign players are:

1. Ederson
2. Bravo
3. Mendy
4. Zinchenko
5. Otamendi
6. Laporte
7. Danilo/Cancelo
8. Fernandinho
9. Rodri (hopefully)
10. Gundogan (hopefully)
11. Silva
12. KDB
13. Bernardo
14. Mahrez
15. Sané (maybe)
16. Aguero
17. Jesus

So our centre back needs to be homegrown. The only way we buy a foreign centre back is if Otamendi leaves.

You know it’s going to be Jonny Fucking

If I’m not mistaken, it de ligt joins he wouldn’t have to count as first team because of his age?

He is 19 as of now so won't take up space for 17 HG player quota.

He would need to have spent 2 years with us to not take one of the 17 non homegrown places.

So one of the current players would have to exit to accommodate him? I assume that would be in case of Otamendi leaving then.

You can always have 18 I think, there’s always going to be at least one long term injury before the season starts and especially before the champions league squads are announced. I doubt Mendy or Bravo will make the cut and zinchenko will pass for an U21 place, especially if he starts that stupid rap shite they’ll think he’s only 12.
