[Albion] Ansu Fati **Signed On Loan 01/09**

[Sheebo]

From @chaileyjem s post on the Injuries thread.

Fati is back today, Veltman and Lamptey were training in Dubai, Adringa is close to being available for games at AFCON and Mitoma will probably be available for Japan if they get out of the group.

Only Enciso is still to appear in some form, and of course March is long term.

i guess we'll get an update tomorrow on all of this at the presser (or will that be over the weekend given its a monday KO?) .

Also i don't think we've had an update and estimated return about Igor from anyone recently. (Did he have a tendon issue after Spurs ? )

Possibly a silly thing to say as maybe means precious little, but Enciso looked to be walking absolutely fine at those awards. Can’t be far off resuming training. I think Blooms words were by mid Feb everyone should be back - he may have said back and up to speed or back and ready - but I may have made that up - Enciso can’t be far off..!

 

[Sheebo]

We can't remove Solly as we need 4 players registered who were developed at the club and we currently have 4.

We can however add Enciso as the 25th player, can then also remove 2 players and add Moder and Barco if we want him for Europe.

We can remove Solly and replace with another youth player though can’t we? So assume we’ll do that…

Players 21 or under who have been with the club for 2 seasons can play without needing to be registered in the 25 man list.

So it would be pointless to register someone instead of Solly as the homegrown players we have otherwise don't need to be registered at all.

We can also only make a maximum of 3 additions/changes, so adding one and swapping two.

I’ll take your superior knowledge on this! May sound silly but is there not another homegrown player who’s joined us but not been here 2 years that could replace him? Or is it literally a choice of Solly or Solly…? Confusing…!

It's just Solly.

 

[Sheebo]

It’d be nice to give him 1 min at the end of the final I suppose when we’re 3 up so may as well name him

We can only add 3 players to the squad, assuming that wanting to get Moder and Enciso into the squad is two of the changes, we’d have to drop someone to make that happen. If Barco stays he could well be the third change, but we’d have to drop a second player to get all three in the squad.

However we cannot replace Solly, he needs to be replaced by a club trained player. That is different to a an association trained player (known as home grown player in the Premier League squad). Replacing Solly would be our third change and we’d be naming a player who doesn’t need to be named, and one of Barco, Enciso and Moder would also have to miss out.

I'm obviously not keeping up because I thought there was just a HGP rule of maximum 8. Or is that only PL rule, and EL rule is different?

Rules are slightly different for UEFA competitions.

You can name a squad of up to 25 players

17 unreserved places that can go to any player

8 places are reserved for HGPs that must be split as follows

4 places for club trained players (to qualify a player has to have been registered with the club for at least 3 years between their 15th and 21st birthdays)

4 places for locally trained/association trained players (to qualify a player has to have been registered with the club from the same association for at least 3 years between their 15th and 21st birthdays).

You can name more than 4 of each category of HGPs (I believe we had 4 club trained and 7 association trained players in our named squad).

Players born after January 1st 2002 don’t need to be named in the squad providing they’ve played for the club for an uninterrupted period of 2 years.

Blimey. Here's me thinking we can just name a squad and go for it.

Makes sense tho, stops the bigger clubs from buying the best 25 players and fielding them.

This was my reaction when I saw it. Then I remembered how f***ing freezing I was when I walked the dog this morning. Then I wondered what that would feel like if I was born in Guinea-Bissau, and then spent half my life in Barcelona. It must be the equivalent of it being about -30c for us.

I'm surprised he doesn't just flat out refuse to train.

I see there is a Spanish speaking clique there

 

[Farehamseagull]

You can tell he’s spent a lot of time with our physio’s recently! He’s definitely bulked up since his injury.

He’s going to return to Barca with arms the size of Igor’s legs.

 

[pornomagboy]

Enciso for solly then ? Actually maybe not as Enciso not homegrown. I guess we could do Enciso for lamptey who appears as Ghanaian ? Although he must be homegrown as well and harsh to dump. Which just leaves dahoud who already has 4 appearances under his belt.

or enciso for Dahoud

 

[Hugo Rune]

We need another.

Back in training

What a class video. That’s a seriously intense session that - can see why we’re so good just from that imo. Bang bang bang no mistakes.
