Personally I would have left out Lloris and Sissoko to keep them fresh for the League.
Lloris probably wouldnt play more than 2-3 games at the group stages and Hart and Gazzaniga could have competed and kept themselves match fit and give good competition to eachother. Would also rather use Gedson for the Europa League games over Sissoko as he cant play that reguarly given his age and recent injuries.
Now both Gazzaniga and Gedson are completely out of the cold altogether barring injuries.
Complete waste of money that deal. Can't see how our new managers first signing has gone from being a big promise to not even getting into our squad.I know Gedson left out of EL squad because of quotas but hard to see where Gedson gets a game or even on the bench.
So if CCV leaves as expected what does that do to our home grown quota in Europe?
The PL graphic above shows 9 HG players, rather than 8....
I would assume Whiteman is erroneous.
Sorry to confuse but the Graphic Mean the rule specified toThere's only 16 non-HG (but it says 17). I assumed those number balanced themselves out.

I think he has promise. The problem with the deal is it was a loan. If it was a permanent move, i think he’d have been loaned out this season. His development has been severely hindered, IMO. He needs to play. We should have either made the move permanent for cheaper and sent him out on loan this window or cancelled the loan. Now he’d have lost 18 months of development once this season is done.Complete waste of money that deal.

Since I first saw him play I've long been suspicious of the deal as it includes our new go to man and Mourinhos mate Mendes on all fronts again. And this kind of decision doesn't do much to stop that.
How is Doherty non-HG in the Europa League? He arrived at Wolves at age 18 and was there for his entire career until his move to us.
If he’s HG in the Premier League through an English-based club, he should be HG in the Europa League, right?
