Just don’t list Adrian and that leaves a space.

Had a look at UEFA’s website and it’s still not visible, you sure it was today?

Pretty sure the UEFA deadline is today so squad lists should be visible tomorrow.

They have Robbo listed as Non Homegrown, but aren’t the home nations all classed as home grown?

No. Wales is included as homegrown with England but Scotland isn’t.

Here is the UEFA definition:

UEFA defines locally-trained or ‘homegrown’ players as those who, regardless of their nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the same national association for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21. Up to half of the locally-trained players must be from the club itself, with the others being either from the club itself or from other clubs in the same association.

The UEFA rule contains no nationality conditions whatsoever because within the EU such conditions are illegal (following the Bosman ruling). The European Commission stated that the UEFA rule was legal in a statement in May 2008, and that a review would take place in 2012.

Harry Wilson excluded, even though we had one more space available that he coulda gone into.

That’s him done then - off on loan again I suspect.

That’s a good point that. Why not include him? It wouldn’t have precluded us from transferring him either on loan or permanently at any stage. Seems odd not to put him in there given that we’ve got one spot left and it’s for a Club Trained player, which he is.

I guess they are pretty sure he is off.

Ronaldo testing positive for covid puts his anticipated clash vs Messi and Barcelona in 15 days in doubt.

You mean BT have had to cancel all their promo material for that match.

Could be fun watching that United back 3 tonight. More of a Championship look to it than Champions League.

Good point. Presumably Nat Phillips at this stage and then whoever we buy in January, given we don’t come fourth in the group.
