First of all, Man City has 21 foreign & only 4
homegrown players over the age of 21 in their squad so they won't be shipping out any homegrown players any time soon....
So 8
homegrown players over the age of 21 and 17 non homegrown.
Not exact matches
Under new
homegrown rules we would only have Wilshere, Ox, Walcott, Coquelin, Welbeck, Ramsey, Gibbs — which is 6 combined with a squad of 14 non HG will leave us with a squad of 20
players of
over 21.
Off topic — The news is that the FA wants to decrease the number of non
homegrown players from 17 to 13
over the next few years.
All our english
players are
over rated, injury prone, overpaid and contribute nothing to Arsenal, if it wasn't for the
homegrown rule there would be no reason to keep Walcott, Wilshere, Welbeck, Gibbs even Jenkinson who's equally not good enough
Even if Benitez leaves, the club will look to sign at least two more English
players over the next month as they pursue a policy of signing more
homegrown players to prepare for new UEFA guidelines.
City are understood to have made contact with Rodriguez's representatives
over a potential deal and the England international could boost the club's
homegrown player requirements for both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Its not really all that different from any of the other top leagues — yes, there's way more money but as you travel down the table you get to the larger
homegrown contingent and I'd take the 50th best Spanish, French, German or Italian
player over the 30th best English one and so on.
