Out of your list jeffro, how many would you think be classed as home produced

[Jeffro]

Big fat Zero lool.. Jeez when was the last decent youth player we produced...
Ray Jones... before that, Langley, before that Gallen and Dichio.. Not bad for 17 years hey!!

[Scarlet pimple]

As far as i know, the club has to have so many home produced players in the 25, but these dont have come through our youth scheme but have had to be at the club a certain number of years.
Almost sure its eight out of the 25.

Can only see two on your list, ephraim and conner's dont know if this rule effects us in our 1st season in the prem.

[DelTrotter]

The following class as home grown I think:

Kenny
Hill
Hall
Connolly
Ramage
Orr
Derry
Routledge
Smith
Mackie
Ephraim
Hulse

There might be more

[sirpiechucker]

Who is Tutu Boy? Matt Connolly would be home grown. As would Ephraim me thinks.

[Scarlet pimple]

Think they have to be under 25, but not sure.

[LoftusRoadLad]

No PMV ?

[stainrodisalegend]

Your list doesn't include players such as German and Balanta (both home grown btw) as well as Vine, Agyman and Hulse. Are you just assuming they will be shipped out? If so you are more confident than I am...

[Jeffro]

Yes i havent included the likes of vine, balanta, agymang, hulse as surely we cannot go into a premiership season with those in our chosen 25!! surely..

[Scarlet pimple]

The following class as home grown I think:

Kenny
Hill
Hall
Connolly
Ramage
Orr
Derry
Routledge
Smith

Ephraim

I'm sure they have to be under 25 and must have been at the club for min period....think 4 years.

[DelTrotter]

I'm sure they have to be under 25 and must have been at the club for min period....think 4 years.

Thought it was about the country, not the club?

[stainrodisalegend]

Yes i havent included the likes of vine, balanta, agymang, hulse as surely we cannot go into a premiership season with those in our chosen 25!! surely..

I hope you are right but I couldn't believe people like Agyman were still in the squad LAST season...

[Scarlet pimple]

Think not, i just hope it dont apply to us being our 1st season back.

Apologies Scarlet your right:

A home grown player is defined as one who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Welsh Football Association for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).

For the purposes of this rule, the season is deemed to run from the date the first transfer window closes until the final match of the campaign.
In keeping with UEFA guidelines, an Under 21 player is defined as one who is under the age of 21 on 1st January in the year in which the season commences. For the 2010/11 campaign Under 21 players will have been born on or after 1st January 1989.

EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
The 25-man squads must be submitted to the Premier League by 5pm on the day following the close of each transfer window. For the 2010/11 season the first window will close at 6pm on 31st August and final squads must be registered by 5pm on 1st September. Before then Clubs will not be required to name their squads and may select their teams from any registered players.

While the transfer windows are open, clubs may change their squads as many times as they want. However they will only be able to make alterations outside the windows if there are exceptional circumstances and the changes are approved by the Premier League board.

For example, if a club has two out of three goalkeepers injured they may be permitted to bring in a replacement under the guidelines drawn up by a specially formed working party.

Players in the 25-man squads who go out on loan to Football League clubs may not be replaced. However they may reclaim their place on their return.

Clubs do not have to name a full squad of 25 if they do not have that many contracted players and in this instance they may add free agents outside the transfer window. However if they have 25 eligible contracted players, they must be named.

Similarly, clubs do not have to name eight home grown players if they do not have that many but that would mean operating with a reduced squad.

The system will be simple enough to administer. Clubs will register their players via an online form which automatically flags up if they have named too many players who do not qualify as Home-Grown.
