We could leave Carson if it gets to that point where we can't offload anyone.

So if one of your keepers is injured you have no back up keeper? Imagine going into a CL game without a back up keeper on the bench!

We have two keepers?! Also that's the problem we get kane and are unable to sell anyone. Otherwise there is no problem. There is also window opening in January. We can offload then if possible

No you misunderstood. Ederson and Steffen are registered. Ederson gets injured. So Steffen starts. Then you have no keeper on the bench for the game because Carson isn’t registered. That’s risky as hell.

Mmm true true. Let’s hope if we never are in that situation

We loaned out the 2 best prospects this season, Van Sass or Slicker is most likely to be inline.

Isn’t there an obligation to have 3 keepers in a champions league squad?

Ah, just checked and it’s 2 . . Memory isn’t what it was :-(

We do though. Otherwise we would have to leave someone off the CL squad

No we don’t. We were filling last year and only put in a squad of 21 when we could have put in 25. We maxed out on foreign players but could have had another 4 association or club trained players - so this is just pure misinformation from somewhere.

We put a squad of 21 last year because that’s all we’re allowed under the rules with squad we have.

currently we have: 15 foreign, 6 homegrown, 1 academy trained. CL rules dictate a maximum of 17 foreign and then 8 homegrown with 4 minmum being academy trained. If you don’t have have 4 academy trained players your squad size gets reduced by each missing academy player. So for us right now we’d shift 2 of our homegrown players into the foreign list making it a split of 17-4-1 which = a max squad size of 22. Kane coming in as a homegrown player would still make this a problem as we’d then have to shift a player out because we still don’t have another academy player. Our max cL squad currently is 22 (with Foden as the only academy trained player)
