CURRENT SQUAD
GK (4) - Gomes, Cudiccini, Alnwick (Homegrown), Friedel
DEFENDERS (8) - Corluka, Kaboul, King (Homegrown), Dawson (Homegrown), Gallas, Hutton, Bassong, BAE
MIDFIELD (10) - Lennon (Homegrown), Huddlestone (Homegrown), Bale (Homegrown), Jenas (Homegrown), Modric, Sandro, Bentley (Homegrown), Kranjaer, Piennar, Palacios
STRIKERS (6) - Crouch (Homegrown), Defoe (Homegrown), Pav, Van der Vaart, Dos Santos, Keane
Under 21's - Walker, Rose Kane
This would leave us with a squad of 28 including 10 Homegrown players.
We need to name a squad of 25 including at least 8 Homegrown players or a squad with a maximum 17 non Homegrown players.
From this list you will understand why Levy insists that Harry has to reduce the squad before he can buy.
We only need 3 Keepers - therefore Alnwick could go on loan. Other disposible players are Hutton & Bassong, Palacios - Bentley - Jenas, Crouch - Defoe - Pav - Keane - Dos Santos.
But any Homegrown players we sell or loan may reduce our squad below 25 if they aren't replaced with Homegrown players.

Also where does our 'New Drogba' fit in?
I'm lead to believe he will be involved in the squad, it's in his contract

RRP - he's U21, so we don't have to worry about him. In fact, he's young enough to be HG when he is 21.

Cheers Comfort , I didn't know that!
My God I hope he gets a chance this season
Only striker who looks like he can produce a bit of magic!

Its not in his contract. It was covered by the ungentlemenly agreement.

RRP - "My God I hope he gets a chance this season "
Well yes, but he'll get 10 mins at the end of a match, playing LW or something and get slated for not tackling back or something. It would be a major change of attitude for 'Arry to risk someone that young in a meaningful game. But we can hope.

All I know is, I would be mightily cheesed of if I were Coulibaly and I didn't get a few games this season, considering a) we'll be playing a fair amount, and b) he'll be sitting in the stands watching Crouch wow the world with his '3 kickups, lose the ball' tekkers.
