It's Quiet 32 - enter at own risk

No. We don't need any at all.

I mean in champions league

No - squad rules are maximums, there is no minimum in any of the rules.

Edit:- and yes we are done unless Danilo or Otamendi leave, they have been told they can leave for the right price but doesn't look like anyone is going to come in for them.

Sane will not go this summer.

We will not match the rags bid for Maguire. He will go there or stay at Leicester.

Don't need any. Can add one if we want.

We need a centre half badly

I understand it this way
You can include 17 foreign players in your squad. You can add 4 more players but they need to be association trained. After this you have to include homegrown players.

Same answer.

Well - the 17 is technically 17 from anywhere, in PL and CL. Beyond that the rules change for PL/CL but the consistent factor is for senior players they have to be association trained. There is a maximum of 8 in the CL. In the PL the 8 is made up of 4 AT and 4 CT.

There is no limit on youth players who meet the relevant criteria (again different criteria for PL/CL).

So in simple terms a squad is:-

17 Foreign
8 Association Trained (or 4+ 4 Club Trained)
+ unlimited qualifying youth

Do we need a CH if Otta & Danni stay? I think so as be basic math's, we have lost one and an outstanding one at that, so we need one. Or do we rely on both Eric & Stonesy, with Otta as back up and then Ferdi as emergency cover at CH?
Sounds like a risky plan to me for the Fourmidables...………. although Pep knows best and in him I trust!

This is spot on apart from the bit in Bold, the 4 + 4 rule is for the CL (Currently Sterling/Stones/Walker as Association trained & Angelino as club trained). In PL they just have to be Association trained
