Our 25 man squad or not.....

Plessis and Nemeth should count as homegrown so the could at present take up the other two homegrown spots (in PTP's list) if we don't sign anyone else who qualifies (similarly Insua would count, if that deal doesn't go through). As was said before there's no point including players U21 as they'll just take up places in the squad and we can use them anyway.

Neither of them count as homegrown. Plessis was 19 when he signed so he's not homegrown, another reason why he should be sold...

Nemeth is still only 21 so he doesn't have to be included in the quota does he? But he was 21 in January so he misses out on being homegrown by 6-7 months...

Insua signed in January 2007 so he just had enough time to spend 36 months with us...

According to wikipedia!

You're allowed up until the end of the season in which the player turns 21.

Nemeth turned 21 last season, and signed in summer 2007 so has completed 3 seasons, 07-08, 08-09 & 09-10

Insua also turned 21 last season and signed in summer 2007 so the same applied to him also.

My mistake on Plessis he's 22 and has only been here 2 seasons (I thought he was only 21), so he won't count.

Does anyone know when the deadline is to submit the 25 man squad?

[ashey]

At the end of each transfer window.

According to Darren Lewis, on SSN, Roy has the makings of a very god squad and Ngog will develop into a good player. Roy is confident enough to pay him last night instead off torres.

Roy's doing everything right, for me, so far but how are we much different to last season squad wise, yet? Why am I still surprised when sky spout bollocks?

If Torres had been even remotely available for last night then he would have a point. In reality though that's a really stupid thing for him to have said.

However, I think Ngog could turn into a pretty useful player. He got a very hard time last season when he was doing an almost impossible job, and being played in a system that certainly didn't suit or help him.

Utterly utterly Pablo epic

I seen a 2 page special in the Daily Hate whilst I was in the UK which compared all of the teams, by the looks of things we were the worse prepared for this change by some distance

Has he brought religion into the training sessions?

I actually think last season did him a lot of good and that the role he played is the role that he will eventually be suited to. The real problem was the amount of pressure on him and the poor supply and support from midfield. Given that I thought then and still think he did pretty well last season.

Hopefully this season if we can pick and choose the games he plays a bit more and Gerrard, Aquilani and Cole can link in midfield then he will continue to progress.

I like Ngog and feel he was harshly treated last year. Sky, however, and the Daily Mirror don't bother to think they just speak

Where's that "Little things that piss you off" thread?

Ngog has always done well as far as I am concerned, considering he is very young and has been used as a lone striker .. 6 years off when traditionally strikers reach there prime, he ball retention skills are excellent and he has good instincts for the way to the back of the net.. the only real success story from out reserves of recent times I would suggest
