    It's all nonsense imo. He didn't have a pop at Bilic, he just said he wasn't happy playing out of position.

    Adama Traore off to Chelsea
  • McHammerMcHammer
    To then go out on loan with all the other chelsea youngsters!

    I wouldn't miss Kouyate all that much to be honest. Think he's majorly fizzled out.

    Good player, but he won't get a game for a bigger side than us. If he wants to find that out for himself, then I say good luck ;ok

    Traore to Chelsea has been in the pipeline for ages, to be fair. I'm sure people will say it's one we've missed out on, but the reality is he's been linked with Chelsea since January.

    Is it me or is £40m for Salah a joke? Must be fake news?

    LFC surely aren't spending that much on a guy who failed in the PL only a year ago?

    Not getting games at Chelsea doesn't really indicate much.

    The fees being spoken about this season are generally all ridiculous.

    OCL ;ok

    And to back up your point, I see that Spurs want £45m for Walker
  • alderzalderz
    Something to bear in mind, HN was a home grown player, so will need to be replaced by one in the 25. Obviously if Cullen takes his place that will be great, but he is young enough to not even be included, so I'm not sure what will happen there.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Hart on Loan will probably cover it. If rumours are to be believed.

    AfaIk you can include an U21 player as one of your 8 HG players, it's just that you don't have to include them to play them.
  • KuchinghammerKuchinghammer
    Blimey, how much would they want for a Runner? oh I see, sorry ;yercoat
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Calleri and Arbeloa had places in he squad no? Thats 2 spots already open for non homegrown options

    HG: Randy, Westley, Byram, Collins, Cresswell, Noble, Antonio, Carroll

    NonHG
    GK: Adrian, Spiegel
    DF: Fonte, Masuaka, Ogbonna, Zabaleta
    MF: Kouyate, Obiang, Lanzini, Feghouli, Snodgrass
    AT: Sakho, Valencia, Ayew

    U21: Fernandes, Cullen, Burke, Fletcher, Rice, Makasi, Browne, Martinez, Holland

    So we have 14 spots of the 17 taken already so we have 3 spots and that's including Valencia and Sakho (and maybe Snodgrass) likely to leave.....don't think we have a problem

    Ngl looking at the squad right now it does look a little thin
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Westley's gone. And I'm almost sure Darren Randolph doesn't count as HG.
  • alderzalderz
    I think Westley has left the club?
  • alderzalderz
    Traore to Chelsea is bizarre. If he came here I wouldn't expect him to be in our first XI, so how far down the pecking would he be at Chelsea?
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Sam Westley was released along with Sam Howes and Sam Ford on 25 May

    Maybe there's a restriction in the Premier League, only one Sam in the senior squad
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Think Randy is HG - he joined Charlton when he was 16.

    Champo - rather than a problem with foreign players, the issue is finding 8 senior HG players - which is a minimum requirement for the 25.

    re Randy ;ok


    It's a minimum requirement if you want to name 25. The rules are formulated (I think) in terms of a maximum permitted number of NON HG players. So if you don't have enough HGs you have to name a smaller squad.

    For those, like myself, who like to read into things, Arsenal's kit launch features Giroud, centre stage

    He's not coming, is he...

    not even worth half that with his injury record.

    Rafa Spiegel has gone (contract cancelled by mutual consent) - it was mentioned in the club report of Oxford's BMG loan.

    (Same for Hendrie)

    So far so good.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    2 quality strikers needed ;whistle

    Move on Valencia and Sakho

    Rumours are Tammy Abraham is joining Swansea on loan, couldn't we have done with him?

    We have our own 'Tammy Abraham' in Fletcher. Don't think we should be loaning youngsters from Chelsea. Should be aiming higher IMO
