Not always a guarantee of being considered homegrown (for example, Eric Dier).

I think in this case it’s a safe bet.
His youth years were Cray Wanderers and then Chelsea and his entire club history are clubs in England and Wales.

Nobody mentioned homegrown, the phrase was “English”.
Ah, we’re pretending that we didn’t know what he meant.
Marvellous.

Nope, I was using what he said to come back with something light-hearted, that might even have given some of our forum mates a little chuckle.
But well done Buzz Killington, remind me to invite you to my next social event.

If he comes, ask him to sign a waiver (so he can point out to you how liability releases are rarely legally enforceable)

Can Ekitike play CB?

With all the great signings we’ve made so far, I don’t understand at all how relaxed we’re dealing with our defender situation. We’re one Virgil illness away from a moderate catastrophe. I hope we’ve secretly already signed Guehi, but perhaps there’s an agreement that we can’t announce it until after the Community Shield. Otherwise, I absolutely don’t understand this calm. It would be absolutely negligent.

If we don’t sign a centre back I will be concerned.

Meaning we’ll have a free pass at him. 
The calm, the quiet, the lack of any other links anywhere anywhere else makes me feel confident there is something sorted.

Based on how this window has gone for them that almost certainly means Guehi won’t end up there.
Unless part of the negotiation for Isak is we step back if they can get Guehi to agree.

If this was the case - and I don’t believe it is - but if it were, then I’d prefer we leave Isak for next summer and get Guehi in. We absolutely cannot go into a season with only 3 senior CBs - one of whom is Joe Gomez. I expect us to bring Guehi in and maybe a younger up-and-coming CB this window. We aren’t hurting for goals in the side even without Isak - can easily come back in for him next summer after winning the quad.

Chill, Winston.
You don’t lose many matches scoring 6 goals a week.

What would be the point of the delay if there is something sorted?
Say that we’ve agreed with Palace and it somehow hasn’t leaked. Why would he not join immediately? For a glorified friendly that is the Community Shield?
Makes zero sense to me.

Often club want to bring in players first.
