[Jobboshinpad]

Here's the latest from the EPL as submitted at 5pm today. Can you spot any omissions that would fill gaps in the current squad?

didnt realise Mannone was classed as a homegrown, thought he was italian

 

[ChewyBoy]

I think to be classed as a 'home-grown' player has to be have been trained at the club (or in fact at any English or Welsh club recognised by their respective FAs) for 3 years prior to their 21st birthday. So, despite being born in Italy, he is classed as home-grown.

All those players on there but only 4 teams filled their 25 man squad, makes a bit of a mockery of the rules for me (Stoke, Sunderland, QPR, and Spurs)

Only because plenty of teams have quality players of under 21. You technically only have the register 15, it was a surprise to me that Arsenal needed 22 spaces.

I'd love Rob Hulse.

That will be the reason why despite playing for England Owen Hargreaves isn't classed as "home-grown".

I'd love Rob Hulse.

Really love him??? Be sure to use protection if it happens

 

[RicardoHCAFC]

I'd love Rob Hulse.

You'd love the Rob Hulse of a few years ago, not the current one.

Back to the list, Vaagen-Moen might have been worth a look if we didn't seem to have almost as many central midfielders as we've got players for the rest of the team combined.

Have Man City not left anyone out this year though? I know they've only named 24 players but it's one of the 'reserved for homegrown' spaces they've left unfilled so there could be non-homegrown players available.

soares would make a massive difference to our team. We need a box-to-box so bad. In the first half today till we removed TC from the theatre of battle, George Boyd was the perfect example and the very type of player we need. Soares is the only player who fits the bill from that list

 

[kccircle]

Soares has not played many a game for 3 years - still rate him?

He's only played once in the past 18 months and isn't he off to Leeds?

I'm quite happy with Devitt getting a full season of first team football under his belt elsewhere, how about giving Evans a go? (we should have Stewart back in a month or so anyway)

I'm in London on Tues/Wed/Thurs this week, so I can't make Ferriby, unfortunately.
