PL & CL Squads (updated: Toure omitted from CL squad)

Are you sure it was May 2015? only he played for the EDS in February 2015, could this be possible without a work permit?

I have no idea on permit status for youth leagues. He could not sign until he was 18 even before his work permit so he certainly could not be on the B list not as some are suggesting.
 
He would struggle to be eligible to pay without a work permit which was May 2015 - so he can't be on the B list until the final.
Work permits do not count in this respect. As far as Uefa are concerned he became a City player in Jan 2014 when we first registered him.

And he couldn't sign until he was 18 either way, not eligible for 2 years to play for us, as he is still 19.

As said by others, he'll be classed as club trained in January for UEFA purposes (not on the 'B' list) so he'll just move from a free spot opening it up for Gabriel Jesus. He's U21 for the PL.
 
I don't see how this is a footballing move.

City are playing hardball, and I don't see what the end game is. Its illogical on all fronts. It is obvious that Yaya is not going to take paycut or miss out on his loyality bonus due at the end of the year. In this scenario city have two choices 1) Subsidize a move away from the club, and free up some of the wage bill 2) Utilize his talents at the club instead of paying him part wages to play for another team.

It appears City have chosen option 3 which is to be vindictive, keep Yaya around as a distraction without utilizing him as a footballer. This is horrible on financial level, football level, and does not help clubs reputation among players around the world.
1) is dependent on the player being willing to move, and 2) on his fitting into the team. Neither of which seems to be case.

My suspicion is that he demands total devotion from his managers. If Pep doesn't give him that, he'll leave if he can get away without losing money owed to him, or else do the absolute minimum all season that will still let him get his "loyalty" bonus when he leaves. That's a pretty corrosive attitude, so if he doesn't leave in January, I'd be amazed if he was still training with the first team come the end of the season.
 
No. He was only formally registered in January 2015. Therefore he qualifies for the B-list in January 2017 and becomes homegrown in January 2018.

This is my understanding but I can't find conclusive proof that he obtained his work permit in January 2015.
 
So if Kelechi doesn't qualify who drops out? Possibly Kelechi himself? that would not go down well with the player.

That's not very likely now is it? Far more likely it'll be a player that isn't deemed to have a long term future at the club, my money would be on Fernando.
