As of now, all 20 PL clubs do meet the new rule.

A squad of 25 we will be fine, just look at our starting XI on Sat. Included Richards,Bridge,Lescott and Bellamy. This rule shouldn't affect us too much.

 

[squirtyflower]

not really home-grown as you can buy other team's 'home-grown' and they count lol

 

[mcfc_nick]

talk about an anti climax

 

[marco]

Homegrown as in English or as in from our youth squad or both?

Ie is Lescott home grown as he is English born or does he not count?

Vladi Weiss isn't English but would he be homegrown?

home grown as in academy

Ie is Lescott home grown as he is English born or does he not count?

Vladi Weiss isn't English but would he be homegrown?

Both, so neither would count.

You can also have an unlimted amount of under 21 players on top of that.

We benefit from this rule without doubt.

All clubs currently meet criteria but; Liverpool and Chelsea borderline.

New rules on financial stability.

THis is good news there has clearly been a deal with Europe to cut off Platinis / blatters anti english witch hunt.

Home-grown players according to UEFA
It’s almost 5 years since the UEFA came up with the “home-grown player” concept. The reasoning behind the proposal is more or less the same as the ones FIFA use for their 6+5. A homegrown, player is, according to the UEFA, someone that has been registered with the club (club-trained) or has been with an club from the same association (association-trained) for at least 3 seasons between the age of 15 and 21. Thereby UEFA wants to give incentive to clubs to nurture young talent (and buying players within a country) and thereby increase the local identity of teams also on the highest level.

Also have to produce indepentantly audited accounts and the PL has the power to take over any clubs transfer activity of debt ridden clubs.

Its 8 players who have been with the team for at least 3 years prior to their 21st Birthday. We are fine.

Good stuff.

One more question - is it match day squad or squad in general? Ie you can have 8 homegrown players in the squad but not in the squad for a game.
