25 man Squad

[SpursDisciple]

With the recent activity, just wondering how the 25 man rule will be met. Please update any errors.

British
1 Cudicini (I think he counts as over here for so long now)
2 Caulker
3 Dawson (so far)
4 Smith (over 21 now?)
5 Naughton
6 Walker
7 Jenas (so far)
8 Livermore
9 Bale
10 Parker
11 Defoe
12 Bentley
13 Lennon
14 Kane (under age)
15 Huddlestone (so far, sadly)
16 Rose


Overseas
17 Gomes
18 Friedal
19 Vertonghen
20 Gallas
21 Gylfi
22 Dembele
23 VDV
24 Adebayor
25 Benny
26 Kaboul
27 Sandro
28 Dos Santos
29 Falque

Rumoured
Willian
Lloris (will be instead of CC or HG so doesn't really add to the total)
A N Other striker (surely)

So our 25 would not include one of the keepers (Gomes or Carlo I assume), Harry Kane as he is 19, so that brings a possible 32 down to 30 and 5 more to sell. I assume Adam Smith would be part of the 25 now. Therefore Jenas, Huddlestone, Dos Santos, Dawson, Bentley look like they are going. If we get M'Villa then either Livermore or Parker would be superfluous surely. Falque on a loan again?

My 25 would be (accepting Dawson and Huddlestone are going)

British
1 Caulker
2 Smith (over 21 now?)
3 Naughton
4 Walker
5 Livermore
6 Bale
7 Parker
8 Defoe
9 Lennon
10 Rose


Overseas
11 Gomes/Cuddicini/Butland
12 Friedal
13 Vertonghen
14 Gallas
15 Gylfi
16 Dembele
17 VDV
18 Adebayor
19 Benny
20 Kaboul
21 Sandro
22 Falque

Rumoured
23 Willian
24 Lloris (will be instead of CC or HG so doesn't really add to the total)
25 A N Other striker (surely)

Plus Kane.

What about "NEW STRIKER"?

 

[O.Spurcat]

It is mandatory that 3 goalkeepers are named in the 25.

Sigurdsson's homegrown, I believe.
You have to have trained for three years with an English or Welsh side whilst under the age of 21 and he was at Reading from 2005-10.

Caulker, Smith and Kane are all U-21 for the purposes of the 25-man squad, as is Andros Townsend. And I doubt Falque will make it. So no particular pressure on numbers - more a case of one in, one out

OP,why are you referencing "British" Players?

It's very simple. You have to have 8 home association trained players in your 25. That means they have to have been trained at an ENGLISH or Welsh team for 3 years or more before they are 21. As long as they meet that it doesn't matter what nationality they actually are.

Carlo does not count,not that it matters,as nationality,length of time in a country means zero if they weren't trained here for 3 years before reaching 21.

Hope that helps.

Yes, I assumed so. Our 3 will, hopefully, be Lloris, Friedal and one of Gomes, Cudicini or (unlikely) Butland if rumours are to be believed.
