Our 25-man Squad

Here goes:
(Totally plagiarised from manutd.com)

Premier League squad (max. 25 players, minimum 8 home-grown players):

- 1. van der Sar, 29. Kuszczak;
- 2. Neville*, 3. Evra, 23. J.Evans*, 5. Ferdinand*, 6. W.Brown*, 15. Vidic, 22. O'Shea*, 30. De Laet*;
- 17. Nani, 8. Anderson, 11. Giggs*, 13. Park, 16. Carrick*, 18. Scholes*, 24. Fletcher*, 25. Valencia, 26. Gibson*, 4. Hargreaves;
- 9. Berbatov, 10. Rooney*, 14. Hernandez, 7. Owen*.
*Indicates player is home-grown.

U21s (unlimited number): Ajose, Amos, Bebe, Blackett, Brady, R.Brown, Chester, Cleverley, Cofie, Cole, Coll, Devlin, Drinkwater, Dudgeon, Eikrem, Ekangamene, C.Evans, Fabio, Fornasier, Fryers, Gill, Hendrie, Hussain, Jacob, James, Johnstone, Keane, King, Lawrence, Lingard, Macheda, Massacci, McCullough, McGinty, Morrison, Norwood, Obertan, Petrucci, Pogba, Rafael, Smalling, Stewart, Thorpe, Tunnicliffe, Vermijl, Welbeck, Wootton.


It's awesome. Don't you agree? That's pretty much everyone. - although, word on the street (slash in newspapers), is that Arsenal managed to retain all their players, and more than 70 youngsters 'cause of this "unlimited number of U21s". They don't even have to be English.

Pros and cons for everything the FA try to impose, I guess. Everyone reckoned this would herald the days of more competitive England sides, when really... everyone's squad is pretty much the same.
