Anyone know how we stand with regards the rules for the 25 man squad. Apparently only 17 are allowed to be non home grown players. ie we have to have 8 home grown players, where the definition of home grown is one who "irrespective of nationality or age, has been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of 3 seasons, or 36 months prior to their 21st birthday." I guess we have Butland (if he is to be named and not loaned out), Shawcross, Wilkinson, Shotton (although I hope he is not in the 25 man squad and who else? Do these qualify too, Jerome( on his way out), Bardsley? Sidwell? Ireland? Adam? Whelan? Any others? Based on this requirement, I would have thought Redmond rather than Assaidi was essential, rather than desireable.

Thanks Fuller. I reckon of those( assuming they don't leave) Bego, Crouch, Huth, Ireland, Shawcross, Walters, Whelan, Wilson, Bardsley and Sidwell are likely to be named and maybe one of Wilko or Shotton, so we should be OK to meet the rules. Be interesting to see who misses out from the non home grown or indeed from the home grown list. This further makes the case for Redmond, as due to his age won't have to named.
