Homegrown Players

Fri Jul 22, 2011 4:35 pm

Article on the OS about having 6 'homegrown players' in the matchday squad.

Surely this means 5 from Blake, Farah, Wildig, Evans, Jarvis and Meades all need to be in the squad (along with Earnshaw)?

Bit rubbish really, as none of them would really be pushing for first team, and will be eating up spaces on the bench.

No, no, no - homegrown means English players as well as Welsh. Not sure if homegrown means British players :?

Thought it means they had to be registered at that club for 3 years below 21?

My mistake! You're right, thought it was more specific that it actually us!

No idea - it's too complicated :lol:

If it was 4 before now then we're all right because I certainly can't remember 4 players produced by us in the squad.
