Apologies if there has already been a thread on this. But isn't it today we need to submit our new 25-man squad for the remainder of the PL season?

Just wondering with the recent ins and outs who people thought the new 25 squad would consist of.

I presume if a player has turned 22 since September then he still counts as under-21 for the rest of the season.

GK - Gomes, Pletikosa, Cudicini
Defenders - Hutton, Corluka, Woody, Dawson, Kaboul, Bassong, BAE, Bonghani
Mids - Wilson, Hudd, jenas, Sandro, Modric, Lennon, Kranjcar, Bale, Pienaar, VDV
Strikers - Defoe, Crouch, Pav

Thats 24 so leaves room for Ledley if needed or Ben Alnwick i guess.

Where did you get that from? Cos it's rubbish. Sandro and Bale are eligible all season as U21's as they we're under 21 on the 31st of August.

It was just a guess tbh...and depite his age (U21) Sandro didnt make the CL squad so it was just a guess at the squad for the rest of the season for both competitions. (Didnt have my FIFA rulebook handy at the time!)

don't they have to have been playing/living in England so many years to qualify in U21 section/category?

this would rule out Sandro from that list...

our squad list in Jan was;

1. Benoit Assou-Ekotto
2. Sebastien Bassong
3. David Bentley
4. Vedran Corluka
5. Peter Crouch
6. Carlo Cudicini
7. Heurelho Gomes
8. Michael Dawson
9. Jermain Defoe
10. William Gallas
11. Tom Huddlestone
12. Alan Hutton
13. Jermaine Jenas
14. Younes Kaboul
15. Robbie Keane
16. Ledley King
17. Niko Kranjcar
18. Aaron Lennon
19. Luka Modric
20. Kyle Naughton
21. Jamie O'Hara
22. Wilson Palacios
23. Roman Pavlyuchenko
24. Stipe Pletikosa
25. Rafael Van der Vaart

so that's 21 with those in bold no longer being here...

can't see any reason for Ledley not to be included.

obviously you can add Pienaar and Bungle to that list. but still only 23

and yes it appears all players u21 qualify irrespective of where they played lived before...

No that's a different rule you're thinking about.

We have to name 25 players in the squad, of which a maximum of 17 can be non-home grown.

We can then have as many U21 players as we want in the squad.

The definition of home grown is that they have played 3 years in an English league before their 21st Birthday.

Only concern for me is our defence. Our strike force was my only concern, but now after we've bought no one in, I just have to accept them and pray for them to score... We have Hutton, Corluka, Woodgate and Bongani and Ekotto, Corluka can play CB and maybe Sandro can cover if necessary.

Just hope they all stay fit, if 1 more CB goes injured we're in dire trouble.

For the 25 man squad, I agree with rest of you's as Woodgate must join us and for King maybe put him in next year.

And Woodgate who didn't get into the squad at the start of the season.

We could name :

4 Goalkeepers:
Gomes,Cudicini,Pletikosa and Alnwick

10 Defenders:
Hutton,Kaboul,Gallas,Bassong,Dawson,Corluka,King,BAE,Khumalo and Woodgate.

10 Midfielders:
Huddlestone,Lennon,Jenas,Van Der Vaart,Palacios,Modric,Kranjcar and Pienaar

3 Strikers:
Pav,Crouch and Defoe.


Thats 25, and then you have Bale, Sandro and any other youth we still have at the club.

With injuries mounting up we might as well name a couple kids...

...although the best ones are out on loan.
