They might ship a few goals in the coming season.

As it stands, our current squad could be...

HG = Home Grown, U21 = Under-21

Friedel
L Young (HG)
Sidwell (HG)
Dunne (HG)
Downing (HG)
A Young (HG)
Milner (HG)
Carew
Agbonlahor (HG)
Albrighton (HG) (U21)
Delfouneso (HG) (U21)
Davies (HG)
Delph (HG) (U21)
Salifou
Heskey (HG)
Petrov
Reo-Coker (HG)
Shorey (HG)
Guzan
Beye
Cuellar
Warnock (HG)
Osbourne (HG)
Collins (defender) (HG)
Weimann (U21)
Elliott Parish (HG) (U21)
Lichaj
Lowry (HG) (U21)
Bannan (HG) (U21)
Clark (HG) (U21)
Baker (HG) (U21)
Herd (HG) (U21)
Hogg (HG) (U21)
Siechchrist (U21)

That still leaves us three "over twenty-one" spaces, who can be from any country. Bearing in mind, according to most speculation, we'll likely sell more players than we bring in, I doubt we'll have a problem.

I had a look at the Portsmouth Ladies whilst I was there. I don't think they'll be letting many in.

We are going to struggle, we have to have 8 home growns in out 25.

Delfouneso
Alrighton
Agbonlahor
Clark
Wieman
Bannan
Lichaj
Delph.

This means non of these players can go out on loan to get experience,

Martin will not use them we know that, so  it's a stupid rule!

The rule is
you must name a 25 man squad

8 must be homegrown

Homegrown means been with club for three years before 21st birthday.

Homegrown does not mean British of English, they can be any nationality.

So we are fucked with our wage bill on players who won't make squad!

We've got squillions of home grown players. Nobody any good (or otherwise, Emile) won't get a squad place unless they've left.

WRONG!

Scudamore says: The definition of home grown is trained for three years under the age of 21 by somebody in the English and Welsh professional system.

So "homegrown" includes the likes of Ireland and Fabregas, whichever team they play for, or are transferred to, in the Premier League? Would Hitzelsperger qualify too?

Yep. Fabregas, Ireland and Der Hammer are homegrown, Owen Hargreaves of Manchester United and England is not.

Irony is that 25 is  exactly the squad size used in Major League Baseball - but you can bring in a replacement from your Minor League teams as long as some either goes in the opposite direction or is placed on a disabled list for 15/30/60 days.
