Do we need to start considering our homegrown quota?

Sturridge is going, Lallana is likely to join him and Milner isn't getting any younger.

It'll help if Brewster comes good but we're starting to look short.
 
We're fine.
As always we'll get some reserves and kids into the squad to fill the gaps.
8 out of 25 need to be homegrown.
So as is:
Kelleher
Gomez
Trent
Robbo
Phillips
Hendo
Ox
Woodburn
Jones
Brewster
.
That's without:
Lallana
Milner
Camacho

We need 8 home grown players in the squad or we are limiting the number of players we have available for selection. Of the current senior squad Trent, Gomez, Ox, Henderson, Milner, Lallana and Clyne. With Ings, Sturridge and Solanke gone and seemingly Lallana and Clyne not far behind we either to be targetting players who qualify.

Either that or Brewster, Woodburn and Wilson get promoted to senior squad to make up the numbers. But we cant keep selling English players without replacing them.
 
Brewster will be there next season, and maybe that young Dutch CB is homegrown by now and ready to step up?

Brewster will deffo be in the squad next season. I'm doubtful about the other 2, though I'd quite like us to hang on to Wilson.

Does Robbo count as homegrown being a Scot
Kelleher is Irish but has been at the academy for a while so he should count

Holy shit you're right Robbo doesn't count as home grown. You have to be English to count as home grown.

If foreign players spend long enough in the academy are they deemed homegrown?
 
Our home-grown players in the 18/19 squad list were:

  • Clyne
  • Henderson
  • Lallana
  • Milner
  • Oxlade-Chamberlain
  • Randall
  • Sturridge
We registered 23 players - max. 25 - this does not include U21 players like
  • Alexander Arnold
  • Brewster
  • Camacho
  • Gomez

Gomez, Wilson, Ojo, Kent are/will all be 22 by the time squad is registered, so can count towards home-grown players quota.
 
If we start dropping subtle hints now, play a few race cards here and there, diversity, relate it to growing nationalism and brexit, and so on, I think we could get the quota abolished in the next couple of seasons.
 
There's no great reason for keeping Lallana. Even with Lovren he's a playmate for Mo. Lallana is perma-injured. Time for him to go.
