We have an additional hg spot this year because Foyth qualifies for the B list now, uefa confirmed it with football.london, so that gives us an extra spot where Davies didnt count but does in prem, they cover each side of it opening that spot.

How can Dier not be homegrown? The guy is English for fuck sake.

It's definitely nonsense. Everyone is saying our youth should go abroad to ply their trade but why should they of it limits their appeal to English clubs in the future.

HG should be whether you are a national and then if not if you have played 3 years under 21. Seems fairer that way.

He joined English club in 2014. He's Sporting homegrown.

Yeah I get the technicalities of it, but it’s bollocks. The whole point of the HG regulations were to ensure British and academy players were given more playing time.

Yet someone like Fabregas is home grown and an English player isn’t.

Like a lot of rules and regulations in football it’s dumb.

Dier Winks Skipp Sissoko Ndombele Lo Celso Eriksen Alli Lamela Son Lucas Kane.

12 players for 6 spots, with a few opportunities for Parrott thrown in. That’s just about ideal.

the first four you list don’t play in Lamelas position

If he does stay and stay fit then great, but every year we have this hope he will make a major contribution but it doesn’t materialise

Cash in

Most likely because he’s coming here but could just as easily be because he’s still on holiday I think, fingers crossed for the former ?

Junior Firpo was at U21 Euro, ended his tournament six days before Lo Celso and he's travelling.

Guys obviously take this with a pinch of salt...

My sister's family is off on holiday today and my brother in law got chatting to an old guy next to him on the plane because my nephew is wearing his Spurs shirt.

So this guy said Lo Celso is with Spurs at the moment doing his medical and looks like a done deal. His daughter is part of the medical team at Spurs so gets some good info. He has been with us for a day already.

My brother in law said he was a really unassuming chap and only got chatting because of the Spurs link.

Fits in with the media at the moment too.

Exciting times!

Herc posted again in the Daily.

This one is done. I think Stoof just has to loosen up his stamping wrist again and hope he doesn't get RSI.
