champs league squad

[Warren]

Don't you have to have 8 players who were trained in England before the age of 21?

I can only see 7 in there and one of those is Keane (*B list players don't count towards this): Carragher, Darby, Kelly, Irwin, Gerrard, Spearing, (Keane) Am I missing something??

Or this squad is wrong

‘Home-grown players’ are defined by UEFA as players who, regardless of their nationality or age, have been trained by their club or by another club in the national association for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21. The UEFA rule does not contain any nationality conditions. It also applies in the same way to all players and all clubs participating in competitions organised by UEFA.

Would Lucas qualify?

No Lucas is only in his 2nd season here I think

surely not...it has to be submited after the transfer deadline...same in August/September...the first leg is on the 25th so surely the list must be submited after the deadline, it doesn't make any sense otherwise...

I may be wrong, but this is what I believe happened...

Saturday, Jan 31st - end of UEFA transfer window
Sunday, Feb 1st - submit CL team

The premiership extended the window until Monday 2nd because the 31st fell on a weekend, but UEFA did not adjust to accomodate the PL. Therefore the CL squad had to be handed in prior to the PL window closing.

Even if that is the case the squad listed up still must be wrong as even with Keane we only have 7 players that count as "homegrown" (see my earlier post)

The squad is correct. We need to register 8 homegrown players only if we register all 25 players, which means we can even go with a squad of just 17 foreign players with no players trained in England. So, we registered only 24 players for the KO phase with a 17(foreign) + 6(home trained) + 1(associated trained). With the associated trained player being Keane, we are effectively going with only 23 players now.

Thank God, Hyypia is included instead of Degen, real shame that he couldn't make the squad for the group stages.
