I'm still confused by the ITK comment about us turning down Martial due to already having 3/4 non-HG players.
Alderweireld would be going in the opposite direction, so there would be no net change to our non-HG quota.
Janssen and Nkoudou are not really in the picture anyway. I would expect at least loan deals to be sorted out before the foreign windows close.
Our squad currently has space for a couple more HG players, but we would only have reason to fill these slots if we are a player short in a specific position. If we need to replace an outgoing player, this would almsot certainly mean another non-HG space become available (e.g. Aldweireld or Dembele)
Man City tends to have a couple of non-HG players who only play PL, due to the difference in PL/CL quotas.How are the other top 6 finding this out of interest? Surely also struggling?
Its wasnt introduced for the national team, it was introduced to encourage young talent coming throughYeah I understand why it has to happen. Just the fact, the only reason this rule was introduced is the national team. Eric was captain at one time ffs
Ccv is homegrown yeah ?
All but 1 player can play in the PL squad, likely to be Janssen that misses outOn Spurs official Twitter there are some training pictures with the caption 'getting ready for Newcastle'
Nkoudou is in a picture with Dier and Aurier. Looks to me like he might make the squad and as such a non HG player will miss out.
When is the PL squad list announced?
Oh that’s great, I thought we had 18 non HG even with VJ out. I'll have to have a recount
No its 17 NHG spots and 8 HG, if you can't fill lets say 4 HG spots then you can only register 21 playersAlso don't we need a minimum amount of hg to be able to register 17 non-hg?
Levy got to focus and rid the fringe players this window. Then we can add what we need in Jan.
