Sell, Expire or Keep?

What rules?

Squad Size

All 20 teams will have to register a squad of 25 players at the end of each transfer window. It is not as simple as just selecting your 25 strongest players, though.

Importantly, each squad must contain at least eight players who are considered "homegrown" talents. The rules will only apply to the Premier League, though, leaving clubs with more freedom in the domestic cup competitions as well as European competition.

Homegrown Players

A homegrown player does not necessarily have to been English by birth or even through family. The official explanation given by the Football Association is that a homegrown player is one who "irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons of 36 months prior to their 21st birthday."

This means that players like Cesc Fabregas are considered homegrown as he has been registered at Arsenal since the age of 16.

I am aware of those homegrown rules, just found it odd that Dummett specifically was mentioned

 

We can easily keep 8 homegrown players without even looking at Dummett and also we can sign others too so it's not really an issue as such imo

Schar and Fede at a push I’d give one year deals to. 

The rest? See ya.

Got to keep Schar, think he gets a new deal before the end of the month.

We could easily spend £150 million in the summer on a couple of centre backs, an attacking midfielder, and a centre forward going by our targets in January and the nature of today's prices. Perhaps we'll have more of a structure in place then which will also allow us to pick up some prospects on the cheap, but I think people are overestimating our ability to dispense with half the squad in one transfer window. I'd be sorry to see Fernandez, Schar, and Sean Longstaff leave, and Dummett too though I've never really rated him. Some of the others like Ritchie and Clark have served their time, while Krafth has been a bit of a non-starter.
