UEFA Cup squad

Interesting...

If you don't know the rules, each club is allowed an 'A squad' of 25 of whom four have to be "locally trained" and another four have to be "association trained". On top each club is allowed an unlimited 'B squad' of players born after 1/1/87 which have been registered with the club in question for two years or more.

Our 25 are:
Goalkeepers
1 Heurelho Gomes
21 César Sánchez
30 Oscar Jansson

Defenders
2 Alan Hutton
3 Gareth Bale
16 Chris Gunter
20 Michael Dawson
26 Ledley King
32 Benoît Assou-Ekotto
39 Jonathan Woodgate

Midfielders
4 Didier Zokora
5 David Bentley
6 Tom Huddlestone
8 Jermaine Jenas
11 Gilberto
14 Luka Modrić
24 Jamie O'Hara
51 John Bostock
52 Dean Parrett
53 Daniel Rose
55 Kieran McKenna

Forwards
10 Darren Bent
17 Giovani Dos Santos
18 Fraizer Campbell
54 Andy Barcham


So, we don't see any of Staltieri, Rocha, Taarabt or Boateng, even though O'Hara, King, McKenna and Barcham could have appeared on the B List.

There's a nose/face intersection here...

O'Hara, King, McKenna and Barcham are too old for List B.

A player may be registered on List B if he is born on or after 1 January 1987
and has been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted
period of two years since his 15th birthday by the time he is registered with
UEFA. Players aged 16 may be registered on List B if they have been
registered with the participating club for the previous two years without
interruption.

Yes, you're absolutely right. And that is why I shouldn't be allowed on the internet when I'm drunk. I really do have a tendency to post nonsense.
