Home grown / non home grown

So, here's the list at the moment, assuming that no squad number = not in named first team squad:

Non home-grown (16)
Hanley
Zimmerman
Vrancic
Leitner
Hernandez
Klose
Heise
Buendia
Stiepermann
Trybull
Drmic
Pukki
McLean
Tettey
Srbeny
McGovern

Home grown (3):
Krul
Roberts
Thompson

(i.e. the only Englishman in our first team named squad is a loanee....)

So our total named first team squad would be only 19 of the 25 allowed at the moment. We have space for up to five more home grown over 21s but only 1 more non home grown player IF we want. Obviously we are not going to fill that quota.

The remainder of the true first team squad will be made up of Aarons, Lewis, Cantwell, Godfrey, Oxborough (although I assume he will go on loan somewhere), and whoever else might break into the first team squad over the course of preseason or the season itself (e.g. Idah or some of the new yoof signings).

It's a pretty small squad at the moment. Essentially even if U21s had to be named in the squad we would still only name 23 at the moment.

Note: Signing ze Keeper would mean we have no more space for non home grown players in the EPL squad if we name all of the ones currently assigned a number. Presumably McGovern will be left out when it comes to submitting it should Fährmann sign, and I guess for Tettey and Srbeny (and maybe even Hanley) it will be a case of their squad place depending on whether we sign any additional non home grown players before the squad is submitted.
