"Club-trained" players are those who were on the club's books for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21.Can either blueparrot or Coatigan can come to explain in this thread about the squad ruling?
I think he would get enough if we bring him back to make the list.
Does lavia count as homegrown and therefore not take up a place in the squad?
He would count as B-list/U21 but no he wouldn't take up a squad space. If he does another year with us before he turns 21, he would then count as Club Trained, and wouldn't take up one of the 21 spaces even as a senior.
So in some ways, if there was to be a return, the sooner he is brought back the better. If he's signed back after the season he turns 21, he would take up one of the 21 spaces like any other player in our squad.

Depends on when, for eventually. As above.

Sounds like a bit of a no brainer when it's put like that, makes you think there must be some reason we haven't gone in for him.He would count as B-list/U21 but no he wouldn't take up a squad space.

He doesn't want to sit glued to the bench whilst Rodri racks up 60 apps.makes you think there must be some reason we haven't gone in for him.

not good enough with the ball, gets caught on it too much, and cant control a game from there as we need. at a guess. put him in next to a rodri or kova though, hes' probably fine. do we have the game time to hand hold him while he improves is the questionSounds like a bit of a no brainer when it's put like that, makes you think there must be some reason we haven't gone in for him.

I do think (haven't checked), that if we were to bring him in next year, he would still make it, just. Which I would guess is why the club included the buy back for then. To give him 2 years to prove himself, and still be able to have him count as club trained. But after that, he might as well be any other foreign player.
Things have changed though, he has proved himsel quicker (probably not quite enough though) and there are other clubs interested. We would have to decide whether to jump, or accept it just wasn't meant to be.
