I'm not sure that squad 'works'. We can only have seventeen senior non-domestic players in the first tream squad. As it stands, we're going to be functionally limited to a first team squad of 21 players, plus U21s, for Europe as there are only two players in the world who are good enough and would meet the 'home grown' criteria - Pickford and Henderson. Who are you cutting from your squad?
 

Surely won’t change our recruitment strategy because of the Europa?

I can’t see us going for overpaid, over valued English players like Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliot or signing Archie Brown just because he’s English.

We’ll stick to what’s worked with France, Belgium and Holland, where the value is. Just potentially now that next level signing.

Will we not just register Moore, Ballard, Luke and say Mundle and take Rigg, Jones and 2 more academy lads?
 
Keep our first choice 15 players, sign geerty.
Clear out the 12-15 lads that have no chance.
Bring in 4 first team starters, a xhaka backup, a good 2nd striker foil for brobbey, and another 2 signings for squad depth

There’s almost no homegrown players there and too many international players though

That’s going to be the biggest balancing task of this Summer

Lates from Reggie is that we need 4 or 5 consistent players to cope with Europe

Except that automatically makes us have a very very small squad and we’d be stuffed if we pick up a few injuries and basically have few senior players left. We need to maximise our numbers for Europe and that will mean having to overpay for homegrown players. Going into the season with 20 senior players would be suicidal if we have any ambition to improve

Rigg and the academy lads are a bonus because they don’t have to count in the squad of 25 numbers

I get what you're saying, it's going to be really difficult and some lads will be left at home. But we realistically need 11 starters and 5 subs for Europe, 6 if it goes to extra time. I think it's 23 from the registered 25 for the actual match day squad. 17 of which are foreign:
  1. Roefs
  2. Nordi
  3. Alderete
  4. Reinildo
  5. Hume
  6. Diarra
  7. Sadiki
  8. Xhaka
  9. Enzo
  10. Talbi
  11. Brobbey
  12. Isidor
  13. Angulo
  14. Ta Bi
  15. Mayenda
  16. Ellborg
  17. -
If we take Moore instead of Ellborg, Mayenda potentially loaned out. There's still room for 3/4 Ghisolfi signings. LB, CM, RW before we need to buy English.

We won’t drop our keeper we’ve just bought though. We’ll need 3 keepers so Moore will be one of the homegrown players. We absolutely will sign a few international players but 20 is still far too small a squad for how many games we’ll be playing next season. We inevitably will have to shell out for a couple of homegrown players

If it's 8 'Association Trained' or from British academies, 4 of which are home grown then we only need to buy 1 English player this summer.

Because we will never have 4 actual home grown as we'll obviously not sign Henderson or Pickford.

So it's Ballard, Luke, Moore and 1 Other.

We would just not have a 26 registered players like Forest have done in the past.

Did not realise Jimenez was out of contract, he would actually be a good acquisition for us and would get plenty of minutes over the season with us being in Europe.

The owners don't have the sentimental attachment to Pickford and Henderson that we do.
Kondogbia seems more likely as the Xhaka backup.

Agree on Pickford and Henderson. Not realistic but great for the nostalgia.

I think if we’re looking for a Xhaka backup we’ll go for someone younger than Kongdogbia who we can develop.

It’s going to be interesting seeing how the club manages homegrown here.

Mayenda a future player at the highest level next two years. He might tear up the German League just saying a good loan if we bring another quality striker in

He really isn’t like unless he sorts his non existent work rate out

He literally doesn’t move

There’s a reason he barely kicked a ball last season after the first few games
