Bit different.

Both Sarr and Saliba were loaned out however the rules state : "A player's period on loan to a club from another National Association will not count towards the calculation of his Home Grown status unless his registration is held in suspension by the League and the FA and he continues to be entitled to be employed in the UK."

Because Saliba is an EU national, he has right to work in the UK. Because Sarr was born and raised in Senegal before moving to France in September 2020, he falls outside of that remit.

Ah ok i didn’t know that part
 
If Woolwich get him then I would think the would probably be favourites for the title, at least joint with City.

The Kronke son has shown ambition compared to his dad who didn’t seem to give a shit. I’d love to have that level of ambition even if it means slightly falling short of Pep each year.
Ambition is hosting concerts and boxing matches mate

Not signing players
 
We can have a maximum of 21 non-club trained players for EL.
Assuming Royal, Reggie and GLC leave and Phillips and Veliz are loaned here is the list of 21 non-CT players at the club:

NHGASSOCIATION
1VICARIO1FORSTER
2PORRO2DAVIES
3UDOGIE3MADDISON
4ROMERO4JOHNSON
5DRAGUSIN5SPENCE
6VDV6GRAY
7BISSOUMA
8SARR
9BENTANCUR
10WERNER
11SOLOMON
12KULUSEVSKI
13RICHARLISON
14SON
15BERGVALL

We are allowed a maximum of 17 NHG players.
We can add 2 NHG players but only if we "lose" 2 HG players.
We can add up to 15 more HG players in theory but likewise we would have to "lose" the same amount of NHG players.
 
Spot on. Give Johnson a ball to run on to with space he’s ok. Give him the ball to feet with a defender next to him crap. He would never try to get past the player with a bit of skill or dribble. You know something like gone way then the other kind of move. Also I’ve never seen him make any kind of decent pass not including his standard low cross into box. Offers little with the press and in defence as his too weak. Further I can’t see him coming into the box attacking a cross with his head.
yea thats it. you cant give him the ball to feet. you know if you give him the ball to feet hes in a position that hes going to struggle with. just playing simple football is a huge task for him that hes not comfortable with, because guess what??..hes not a footballer!

Remember that we can have an unlimited number of B-List players to supplement the EL squad . Players who were born on or after 1st January 2003, for the 2024/25 season, and have been with the club for 2 years. So the likes of Donley, Lankshear, Devine, Moore, Hall, Scarlett.

No need to pick Forster IMO as he is (a) not suited to how we play and (b) no longer agile enough. Austin counts as club trained, so frees up an extra space for senior non-club trained players.

With the emergence of Moore, and Son looking like he will be competing with Werner for LWF this year, if we do sign Neto or Eze then Solomon probably will be surplus.

As an aside, both Gray and Bergvall will count as club trained once they hit 21, as will all the academy players coming through, so in a couple of years we will have no issues with these quotas at all.
 
It’s obvious we aren’t even in for him. We haven’t been linked by anyone serious in the press for months.
IMO, seems more like we are but we want to drive the price down.

Same pattern will happen with whoever our striker target is as well.

Feels like we will drag out one big transfer and then make it happen and hope fans will be placated instead of hoping for the OBVIOUS 2 we need to compete.
