It's not a maximum of 4 HG players, it's only 4 can have HG slots.
We could swap Otamendi for Aké and keep the 4 English guys.
As in, no more than 4 players can be listed as association trained players. Why would they want to restrict the number of HG players?Sure?
Article 44.02:
"No club may have more than 25 players on List A during the season. As a minimum, eight places are reserved exclusively for "locally trained players" and no club may have more than four "association-trained players" listed in these eight places on List A. [...]"

I mean I know, but thanks. My post was in response to someone suggesting we aren't allowed more than 4 club associated players.It's more for restricting the number of foreign or non-association trained players. Of the 25 spots, 4 are reserved for club-trained players, 4 for association trained players, and the remaining 17 can be used freely.

Yeah man, you can have as many association trained players as you want, they just reduce the amount of non-association trained you can have after four. Burnley wouldn't be able to field a squad otherwise.Sure?

This makes more sense.Ok, I should put it right:
of course we may have up to 4+17 association-trained players.
But this is pure theory.
Since when do we not want to have 17 non-HG players on our 17 free slots?
Aké swap for Ota means no slot for Koulibaly. Is that what @domalino wants to promote?
