Anyway I think after Porro we're likely done with in comings thought I'd love a surprise CB Ndicka or Hinacpie but I'd say like with Raya for GK we'll hold off till the summer.

Still expect to see Spence and Gil go out on loan especially as Lucas is now back fit?

Assuming purchase of Porro goes through.

Squad of 27 players (including Spence, Gil and Sarr, Danjuma and Porro) (As amended) :

GK - Lloris, Forster, Austin
RCB - Romero, Sanchez
CCB - Dier, Tanganga
LCB – Davies Lenglet
RWB - Spence , Doherty, Porro, Royal
LWB – Persic , Sessegnon
CM1 - Bissouma, Bentancur.
CM2 - Skipp, Hojbjerg, Sarr
RM - Kulusevski, Moura
Striker – Kane, Richarlison
LM - Son, Danjuma, Gil

PL squad (as amended) -

Overseas trained (Total 17, limit 17) :
Lloris, Romero, Sanchez, Dier, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Kulusevski, Son, Moura, Doherty, Perisic, Bissouma, Richarlison, Lenglet (loan), Danjuma, Porro, Royal

HG (Total 8, Limit 8) : Kane, Skipp, Tanganga, Austin, Spence, Sessegnon, Forster, Davies

u21's : Sarr, Gil

So no problems with registering all the players.

With the UEFA/CL squad

Same as above but we now need to register Sarr and Gil as 'Overseas trained' which would mean we have 2 too many 'overseas trained', so two of the players cannot be registered - so one of those NOT registered could be Moura plus one of the obvious candidates of Gil and Sarr for example .

(nb. I am uncertain whether under UEFA rules, Davies count as HG or overseas trained - PL changed the rules so he counts as HG but I'm unclear whether UEFA followed suit. If he is regarded as Overseas Trained, we cannot register a total of THREE (not TWO) Overseas Trained players)

Key thing is we can play ALL of the above players in PL (and FA Cup), its only CL squad where we could not register 2 or maybe 3 of the overseas trained players.

Did you just completely omit Emerson?
 
I'd probably say he's more Davison Sanchez
Season 11 Hbo GIF by Curb Your Enthusiasm
 
I'd say he's a notch above those signings in terms of experience. He's played nearly 4000 minutes in a top league with European competition experience added in too. I'd probably say he's more Davison Sanchez in terms of experience at the time of signing as opposed to someone like a Sarr or Udogie.

He's a great aggressive young centre back, who can also play left back. Has a great left foot. Only 21 years of age but physically capable to handle this league. Fearless. Which we miss at the back outside of Romero.

Doesn’t sound like a player that even bought in January can make the instant impact we need
