[Albion] How does the 25 man Squad work then?

[Dunk]

So, we have a space for a 'home-grown' player and to fill it you would need to English and not under contract to any other team as of now.

I am available. I mean, I'm 42 and not very good at football, but if the space is going spare then why not?

Alternatively, a raffle? Or put it on e-bay?

Before today's game I suspect the planned "odd man out" was Hemed hence why not in match day squad - re a sale to a Spanish team

After today's game I suspect we might change our minds on this - Suttner to go out on loan for season would be my guess

I’m sure Hemed travelled with the squad to Watford but Schelotto didn’t so I suspect Hemed isn’t necessarily the odd man out and one of the full backs is, especially when you look at Schelotto’s instagram posts over the last few days.

Nationality has nothing to do with HGP status and I suspect you’ll not be eligible to be a home grown player (like most of us won’t be) as you won’t have the required 36 months registered to clubs prior to your 21st birthday. I can count a one weekend trial with Sheffield United so fall 35.9 months short of the requirement. Any advance on that?

Hemed was in his tracksuit talking to someone in our end whilst the 18 were doing their pre-match routine. So I guess he is in the 25 currently.
But as that can change up until September 1st it doesn't mean he's staying.

Not even sure why it needs to be as soon as a club takes the player(s). Whoever is in or out of the squad will know by now and those out will have their agents working to get them a new club

There may well be good reason to keep it quiet but I'm more inclined to think it's just the way the club pick and chose what they communicate

I imagine it's because shouting from the rooftops "here's the player we didn't pick in our 25 man squad and who we therefore have no use for" isn't necessarily the best negotiating tactic.

Whoever is out will have their agent working overtime to find the best opportunity for them.

They're talking about it now on Sunday Supplement ... the fact that the window hasn't closed for everyone will most definitely impact on the negotiating position of a club looking to shift players out

Us fans may not know who is out, but the footballing world will

So, now Norwood appears to be off. CH says we will be naming a 25 man squad. Who will be our final HGP?

Ben Barclay is the only player I can think of who is over 21 and qualifies as an HGP.

Is there an update on that or just the widely held view?

 

[BensGrandad]

Just looked at our website and I noticed that Montoya has not been given a number yet.nor has Burn but that is understandable.as regards him and his loan.

Schelotto isn't too upset here

If we see the whole of this we may have our answer!

EDIT: Ignore, missed him.

Schelotto didn't sign autographs today. Nor did Towell.

Suttner did..

Really? Didn't see him down our (far) end.

Norwood's gone. If we now offload Barclay and Towell (if indeed he is an HGP; I don't think he is - he's Irish) so that we have no 'spare' HGPs on our books, I believe we may still be able to take on an out of contract HGP. I think................

To qualify as an HGP you need to have been registered with Welsh or English clubs for 36 months prior to your 21st birthday (or the end of the season in which you turn 21).

Towell was aged 24 when he first registered with an English club (ie Albion).

Someone else posted that it was reported that PL clubs are no longer able to sign free agents and add them to the 25 man squad outside of transfer windows.
