Your 25.

[MCFC BOB]

The purchase of Nasri now seems to be the end of the summer business. But Mancini has to pick 25 players for the Premier League.

Who do you pick?

- 8 have to be homegrown.
- Under 21s do not have to be included in the 25 but can still be used.

My personal team is this (homegrowns in blue)

Joe Hart
Costel Pantilimon
Stuart Taylor

Defenders
Micah Richards
Pablo Zabaleta
Vincent Kompany
Joleon Lescott
Kolo Toure
Aleksandar Kolarov

James Milner
Adam Johnson

Joe Hart is homegrown too.

Besides that, I'd follow your players, although Shaun is leaving most likely so that would leave us with the still eligible 8 homegrown players rather than 9.

Cracking squad that, I remember when I was excited Emile Mpenza had signed, now look.

Isn't Nasri technically homegrown too or have i got it wrong?

I think you have to have played or trained in England for 3 years before the age of 21, I think Samir joined Arsenal at the age of 21 so that'd leave him way of the mark as he was playing in France before that.

Ah.

I knew it was some weird stipulation.

Roman must be knocking on the door. No reason he can't get some minutes given the age.
