Not a problem, the home grown rule will not affect us in anyway, we have the numbers very easily,

arsenal are absolutely FUCKED! lol

 

[Bluemoon115]

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

Nope, they have to have been at the clubs academy for so many years.

 

[squirtyflower]

and the FA, those paragons of exceedingly great financial acumen, are going to run the finances of clubs, what a joke!

Squad of 25 players.

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 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.

Thanks for that :)

explain how Villa have 24 then out of a possible 25?
and United 19?

 

[svennis pennis]

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.

8 players in a squad limit of 25.

What will happen to Chelsea if they cant meet the criteria? HAHAHAHA!

 

[BlueMoon93]

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

Get in!!! Asset strip the reds hahahahahahaha.
