Squad list submitted

[edgysatsuma89]

Why, when we have submitted a full squad of 25 that cannot now be changed until January, are stupid websites still linking us to free agents?!

Not that i think either will happen, but if bent got loaned out to Charlton till Jan, then I'm presuming that makes it possible to fill with a free agent? I have no idea mind.

Shay and Joe Cole are 'home grown'.
And I am.
So is Messi, vacuuming up the players lounge.

I have read the definition, but, really? Surely home grown for the Villa is born within shouting distance of the Holte End?

Home grown doesn't have to be with the club. It's just to stop sides from signing a squad of 25 players from outside England and Wales. So Citeh have a homegrown player in Lampard as an example.

How is football allowed to get away from such restrictions on free movement of labour ?

Anyone know Cleverleys squad number?

TC23 surely?

Aly Cissokho might have something to say about that.

I would think he'll be our new No.8.

Hopefully he lives up to the last legend who wore the eight.

Senderos home grown, is that right?  If you're in the CL you need to have 4 who had 3 years at the club before they were 21 so I think we're covered there for next season as well.

EDIT:  I just checked and he was at Arsenal as a teenager.  He's younger than I thought.

Yup, needs to have been on the books of a PL club for three years between ages 16 and 21.

Joined Arsenal a few months before his 18th birthday.

Merv 'The Swerve' Davies ?

So I suppose he was still very young when he was at Arsenal and got his reputation in this country for being a bit dodgy.
