    25 Man squad

    I was just looking at our squad on the offal site & am i right in thinking it needs to be trimmed down to only 25 players???

    If so , then i can see some players being very disappointed compared to last season having strengthened this summer.

    I cant see there being space for Ngog , Pacheco , Cole , Poulsen , Wilson/Kyrgiakos , Insua , Degen , El Zhar.

    do they not realise??? or are they just going to collect their money and play for the reserves???

    You don't have to register under 21s so there'll be room for plenty.

        Yeah, but N'Gog would have been included either way.

          N'Gog is 22 and Kelly is 21, so they will have to be registered.

          Spearing's 22 also and Henderson already 21.

          But Shelvey, Flanagan, Robinson, Pacheco, Wilson, Suso, Sterling, Coady and Widsom are all under 21 and wont need to be registered.

            Last year the rule was:

            For the 2010/11 campaign Under 21 players will have been born on or after 1st January 1989



            So I'd guess all those born after 1st January 1990 will count as U21 this season. Some dates of birth:
            Kelly - 27 April 1990
            Ngog - 1 April 1989
            Spearing - 25 November 1988
            Henderson - 17 June 1990
            Shelvey - 27 February 1992

              Ah, i did wonder if there was a cut-off point whereby the player must be under 21 'at this date' - wasnt sure if that date was something like 31st August or whatever - so this clears it up

                Excuse me if I'm wrong, but won't Insua & N'gog count as 'home grown' this season? Obviously the English contingent & Brad Jones do.

                  They may do - still have to be counted within the 25, but yes, i think they will count as part of the home-grown quota we have to fill.

                    Insua would, but I don't think Ngog will.

                    IIRC you have to have been at an English club for 3 years by the end of the season in which you turn 21. Ngog has been here 3 seasons now but he turned 22 last season, meaning he would have only 2 years rather than 3.
                    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
