Squad Rules/25 Man Rule

So following on from a post made by Egg on the Sam Gallagher thread,

 

There isn't much room for additions *unless* changes are made. 25 players max, including 8 home-grown (HG) or club-grown (CG), and excluding players who are 21 years old (U21) on or after 01/01/1996. Assuming there aren't any outgoings, which players would you leave off the registration list entirely (and thus condemn their season) in order to make the bare minimum of one or two additions.

 

The squad is as follows...

My two?

Stuart 'non-player' Taylor and Clasie.

Third - Gardos.

 

(even though I'd ditch Gardos before Clasie if numbers weren't an issue, an upgraded CM is of greater importance (imo).

Vectis/Bednarek/U21

Gazzaniga & Stephens count as club grown.

 

No chance Taylor will be missed off the list, they wouldn't have given him a new contract if they didn't intend for him to be 3rd choice keeper for the season.

Gazzaniga joined when he was 20.

 

 

Only kidding, MLG

 

In all seriousness, I did look at Gazzaniga and for the reason stated above couldn't see how he could count at club grown. Stephens I wasn't sure about, because he's been away on multiple loans and I couldn't be bothered to calculate it And it wasn't vital to the Premier League squad rules issue anyway Happy to be corrected, of course.

 

Oh, and reference Taylor, agreed, but the Q relates to our (my/your/etc) opinion of the players, not the board's.

Edited 3 August, 2017 by Donatello

Bednarek is u21 as are Sims and Hesketh, they do not count towards the 25 man squad. We have 25 over 21s, no gaps at present.

Gardos, Gazza and Gallagher are the most likely to be shipped out, or we may have a gap if that Virgill chappy is sold.

Bednarek is U21 being born on 12/4/96

Edited/Thanks Sims and Hesketh were already discounted.

Hojbjerg, Targett and gallagher will still qualify as u21, I believe.

 

Edit. Turns out my assumption was wrong.

PEH was born on August 5th 1995, what is the cut off date for U21 ?

Just seen on Footie Whispers (yeah, I know) Gazza is being linked with Spurs. Seems unlikely, but fingers crossed [emoji13]

Next season will also need careful planning. As things stand, we have 26 over 21s (includes Gazza and Reed). Next year Bednarek, Flannigan, Wood, Hesketh, Barnes and Seager from the current under 21 list will qualify as over 21s if they are still at the club by then with the same number out of contract: Taylor, Pied, Yoshida, Wood, Gardos and Flannigan.

Bednarek and maybe Hesketh are the only two of those I'd currently think will trouble the 25 next summer. I suspect Flannigan's status might depend on whether Cedric leaves and obviously his progress.

 

Reed losing his squad number in his absence isn't a particularly good sign for him.

With Gazzaniga gone, Reed and Gallagher out on season loans and Hoedt and Rose in (both are over 21), we currently have 26 players who qualify as over 21 this season.

Doubt Rose will be in the actual squad, more to be used as u-23, which will put us back at 25 players again.

The U21 list includes all the U21s out on loan (Lewis, Olomola, Seager) but the main list doesn't include loan players (Reed, Clasie, Gallagher) - simply because there is a number restriction on the main list but not for the U21s.

 

The U21 list omits 5 of the scholars: Enzo Robise, Kornelius Hansen, Kameron Ledwidge, Sean Brennan and Bailey Owen. This seems odd so there may be some qualifying condition I'm unaware of e.g. needs to have been registered with club by a certain date; or perhaps a rule relating to nationality (none of those omitted is English).

I think Rose just took the spare space. No need for 4 keepers normally.

Players requiring registration next season who are currently discounted (5) - Jan Bednarek, Jordy Clasie, Harrison Reed, Jake Hesketh, Sam Gallagher (plus a few lesser known youths).

 

Conclusion

So the short term view would be to say we have two registration spots available immediately.....

 

...but Bednarek, Hesketh, and Gallagher will have to be registered next season (Sims has another season at U21 status). However, you can pretty much discount Florin Gardos since he hasn't featured all season, and likely won't again. So we have three spots 'available', all three of which 'disappear' next season if we intened to use Bednarek/Hesketh/Gallagher - crunch time for these players really.

Yeah, I guess we can easily "do a Tadanari Lee" with Gardos & pay up his contract if we need to fill an extra spot.

You're welcome/No worries

 

I haven't even factored in Reed/Clasie (edit: have now), but one assumes they're likely to drop off of the radar too, in spite of Reed being the "best player to come through the academy" blah blah

Agree it would make sense to pay up the 600k left on his contract to free up another space as he doesn’t even get a game for the u23s

I guess Bedranek is our new version of Gardos? Never understood that signing, for all the talk about not blocking the path way, that signing did just that.

I literally have no idea what he does? Is he injured?

Indeed. I thought Alfie Jones was our best prospect at centre-back, and he's spent half the games seemingly playing defensive midfield to accommodate Bednarek.

Yes this looks right except that JWP is also club grown and I thought that Jack Stephens was club grown rather than home grown - though that’s academic as that distinction applies only for Europe and I have more chance of getting pregnant than we have of qualifying for Europe next season (I suppose theoretically we could win the FA Cup but that would require us to win matches on a scale we have not done for a very long time).

 

Goalkeeper Jack Rose is another home grown player who we included in our 25 man squad in September but may miss out in January if we sign enough players that we have to omit some we don’t need.

 

As for next season the additional u21s not mentioned already that will no longer qualify as u21s are Marcus Barnes, Ryan Seager, Jake Flannigan and Will Wood. That said Flannigan is out of contract this weekend and Wood is on trial at a club in south east Hampshire.

Edited 28 December, 2017 by Over land and sea

Excellent stuff Donatello

Really useful work, thanks. So with two gaps (forgetting the issues it may cause next season) I'd guess we'd be looking at (net) 1 forward and 1 centre back, though the management might decide our defence is good enough as is.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see gabbi off with 2 forwards inbound.

 

Of course, would happily see other improvements, but doubt we'll be inundated with offers for anyone other than possibly Bertrand. And I'd rather we kept him!

The Premier League Web site includes Jack Rose. I thought he wasn't included but seems he is, if so we have only one spare slot.

Fairly sure we decide who the 25 are and can just leave out players we don't need in it, like Rose or Gardos.

 

It doesn't restrict how many we sign, would just mean someone like Gardos wouldn't be able to play in the PL for us, which he won't anyway.

Correct. Also, can anyone confirm if olomolas loan to y oval was only until January? Not premier league ready but might at least give a further option. Which will be needed if we sign any of Walcott, sturridge or balotelli as they'll be crooked or suspended most of the time!!

Anyone know if jake flannigan got released yesterday? Not se n anything official but thou this contract expired on 31st?

Technically correct, but in the real world the club has to manage players. They can't just say "sorry, son you're not playing", they are professional players being prevented from fully earning their living. They tend to loan them or move them on/terminate contracts. Bit different with the European rules where it is only a small number of games they are not available in.

You can. It works both ways. I am sure Gardos is quite happy picking up his PL wages for 6 months more knowing he isn't going to play because he has known for at least a year that he won't and has probably rejected taking a pay cut in order to go somewhere else and play. Likewise Jack Rose, a 4th or 5th choice keeper won't be expecting to even get on the bench in the PL so if he isn't named he won't be bothered.

 

No way will Gardos or Rose's feelings stop us from signing a player that we think might improve us.

So unless someone goes out we will only make two signings this window, advanced midfielder and striker needed is obvious.

For 25 man squad purposes Carrillo’s arrival has been cancelled out by Targett’s departure on loan for the rest of the season. We currently have 28 players who qualify as over 21 but 4 are out on loan for the rest of the season. So we can bring one more in without needing to omit anyone who not on loan from our 25 man squad

So, if we sign Promes and a centre back and/or a keeper (looking unlikely but you never know) who would be omitted from the squad? I assume it would be out of Gardos, Taylor or Rose unless we were to sell or loan out Gabbiadini or Long. Anyone got any thoughts?

So no one will need to be omitted. In fact we will either have a vacant place or name one of the 4 loanees in the 25 (probably the former).

 

I'd expect the squad to be published on the PL website today but no decisions to make so not very interesting.

https://www.premierleague.com/news/612828

 

Confirmation of the updated squads. No surprise omissions in our 25 man squad - which, as expected, is a 24 man squad. Targett, Clasie, Gallagher and Reed are omitted because they are on loan.

 

The U21 squad lists all the U21s registered with the club, including those out on loan (Cook, Barnes, Seager and Lewis), apart from scholar Bailey Owen. No idea why he is omitted. It also lists Simon Kozak an U18 defender who isn't shown on the OS U18 profiles for some reason. Olomola is also missing from the OS profiles but is in the Premier League U21 list.
