Calvin Ramsay our second summer signing?

[StevieM]

We discussing James Milner in a Calvin Ramsay thread?

One sneaky edit later and I don’t know what you’re talking about. 😗

The rule is registered for 36 months before his 21st birthday or the end of the season in which he turns 21.

He turns 21 on 31st July 2024. Which I think classified as after season 2023-24 - which means he can be registered as an U21 player for 3 seasons with us - which should classify him as homegrown.

It’s a grey area perhaps - because the 24-25 season will likely “start” a week after he turns 21 - but I think he just squeezes in - if the domestic season is considered as starting from 1st July.

Ronaldo was 18 when he signed for Utd and is considered home grown - he was at the club less that 36 months before turning 18.

Lukaku was 18 when he signed for Chelsea and is also considered home grown.

I know in the yoot leagues. The cutover is September 1st

Edit.. last day for one year 31st Aug, first day of next year 1st Sept

I checked the Premier League rules and they define a “Season” as starting on the day of the first League fixture, so it looks like he can’t qualify for PL.

The CL wording is a bit more complicated but it looks like he could qualify based on the below wording (but it’s early here and my head is hurting so I might be ms-reading it). The CL definition requires him to be registered for 3 seasons, not 36 months.

“…and the season immediately following his 21st birthday may be counted if his birthday is on or after 1 July (winter championships) or 1 January (summer championships) but before the first match of the relevant national championship.”

Misses out by a week or so then.

Oh well…, we can definitely run him as a youth for 3 years - we’ll know whether he’s good enough by then.

Bang! Straight into the first team squad no messing.

You gotta say getting 3 signings done before July is impressive

That Fabrizio fucker is a proper goalhanger isn't he? Waits until all the reliable sources say stuff then pops it in the net from a foot out. Absolute fucking tool

 

[peterhague]

He actually writes for the Guardian now, incredibly.

He' misses less than Salah at least

TBH I respect that. He's someone who has capitalised on the a niche in the market and made it his own with his own catchphrase. He's made a career of doing what kuyt did against united in '11

 

[Red rose]

Hadn’t realised he plays in a few positions

 

[localny]

Actually he’s the fourth big signing before July 1 - Diaz, Nunez, Ramsey, Carvalho.

we’re fecking amazing behind the curtain

didn’t get dragged into any bidding wars. Clubs know we don’t mess around. So when we come knocking they do the deal or they know we are off

so all eyes focused on outgoings and maaaaybe A midfielder? What a great position to be in.

this is going in the next “pinch me” part 4

 

[Judge Jules]

In the original glory days we were careful to do as much of our transfer business as far from public view as poss. Getting back to that is symptomatic of the professionalism of our transfer operations. Looooooong may it continue.

That's an insult to wheelie bins.

Here we go

Listened to an echo podcast about Ramsey this morning. Apparently he can play in midfield. I predict we start next season with Gomez as DM and Trent and Ramsey making up the midfield in front of him

That's utter madness. Unless we can get Traore in at RWB.

I reckon Serge Aurier could do a job at centre half
