Prolly want this Hart Given Taylor Boateng Richards Kompany Toure Lescott Ned Zabaletta Kolarov Bridge Johnson SWP(Milner) De Jong Barry Silva YaYa Viera Ireland Bellamy Tevez Adebayor RSC That's 24, including RSC who will prolly only play in the third round of the fa cup. Funny as it sounds but we really need another good forward, prolly two if we get ballotelli as he is under 21 the rest is dead wood |

What will he do? Probably just linger around, like a fart. |

What will he do? whine and bitch until we sell him to some greek side at a huge loss. i'd bet against him playing in a city shirt in a competitive match again. |

I really dont understand this rule! So, is it purely for the League the 25 man squad? What about Europe fixtures FA Cup League cup Are players not in the 25 allowed to play in the other competitions? As 25 players doesn’t seem a lot for potentially 60 ish games a season and wouldn’t benefit the national team if this were the case. On the flip side, would players be happy to be only eligible for non league fixtures? Outside of the 25 you can have as many home grown U21’s as you like? |

What will he do? When he arrives at his next club he'll declare undying love for them and swear he'll spend the rest of his career there. About two weeks later he'll claim he was duped, is unhappy and wants to move on. |

If you look back there is a link to the premier league which explains all. This 25 squad is just for premier League games, must contain at least 8 home grown 25 players over 21, U21s can be added to the squad without restriction.. The squad must be notified to the league immediately after the close of the transfer window on Aug 31 and can only be changed at the next transfer window in January when up to 3 changes will be allowed. |

The only thing it will do is tire English players more and dramatically change the league over the next few years. It will make home grown players even further over priced, and not increase quality. Bear in mind that you generally have a few long term (more than 6 weeks) injuries over a season, Id say at least five. This will make a squad of 20! |

Well, when the injuries come, teams may have to dip into their pool of unlimited under 21 players. I think one of the links H3T posted said that 85% of under 21 players in this country are under 21. So it would follow that if teams do have to start using their under 21's, a fair amount of young English players are going to some big match experience. Which is a fairly obvious benefit to the national team. I don't think it's a terrible idea. |

I don't think it's a terrible idea. one would hope it was actually 100% and it is a fucking woeful idea. for all the reasons barna identifies. |

and it is a fucking woeful idea. for all the reasons barna identifies. Why? 85% seems a rather large and healthy number to me. Meh, i can the logic behind the idea. Not that i care about it helping the national team, but i can see how it would help. |

kids get a run out in the first team anyway, and always have done if good enough. this just puts a premium on having ones that are good enough to use for a couple of matches when the injuries bite, thereby fucking the poorer teams as they will just get raped by those with money. the good kids will be pooled in a few teams, and everyone below them will have a substandard pool of players from which to draw. that or clubs import young foreign talent, ala fabregas, balotelli, ireland etc, which won't help the national team much either. |
