Similarly you are also just repeating the same thing. Guess we'll see who was right in the summer.
Not similar at all. I’m stating facts, you’re incorrectly stating something as fact when actually it is incorrect. You said we MUST have one in one out & we really don’t.
PL rules
25 players of which 25 could all be HG, but there is a maximum limit of 17 foreign players, that currently leaves us with 8 spots for HG, of which 4 are already taken this season, leaving 4 spots left for HG.
CL rules are similar in the fact we can have a squad of 25 homegrown players, but 4 have to be club trained. Again you’re allowed a maximum 17 of the 25 to be taken by foreign players, but could also have a squad of 21 HG players should we choose, plus 4 club trained. We currently have 17 + 4 with nobody club trained
So for PL
When Sergio leaves we’re down to 16 foreign players 5 HG as Foden will be over 21. That leaves us with 21, so we could sign another 4 HG players or 1 foreign & 3 HG as per the rules so definitely don’t have to sell anyone
CL
Again, when Sergio leaves: In the CL Foden will take one of the 4 club trained slots next season, so our A list will also include 21 players. 16 foreign, 4 HG & 1 club trained, so again, we can sign one more player, either HG or foreign.
Should we sign Grealish & nobody else, he would be eligible to be added to the CL squad as we haven’t used our full quota of foreign spots. If we sign anyone else, then one player would have to drop out of the squad to facilitate this as the 21 none club trained slots are taken. This does not mean we must sell anyone as you stated.
Ive agreed it’s unlikely, but factually we don’t have to sell anyone to sign another HG player even if we were to sign Haaland
It’s got nothing to do with seeing what happens, your post was factually incorrect, so I was just pointing that out to you as people seem to confuse the CL rules with the PL rules.
What you’ve suggested may well happen, I’ve never disputed that. But what I’ve said is 100% correct & factual, what you said wasn’t.
Apologies if you think I’m being a tit, (it comes naturally to me) but I’m not. I’m merely pointing something out which I’ve seen loads of people get confused about, so just trying to help people understand the rules.
CL & PL have slightly different rules
