<LAUGH> KICK HIM OUT....BAAADY FOREIGNER.....<LAUGH>

It does seem a bit silly. Surely just having eligibility to play for a country should guarantee you homegrown status.

He was actually grown here after all.

If eligibility for a country = homegrown status then someone like de Bruyne would be homegrown

Why?

Here are a few homegrown players....
Spanish born Spanish international Cesc Fabregas.
Icelandic born Iceland international Gylfi Sugurddson
French born Algerian international Nabil Bentaleb

Yet English born, England u21 international Eric Dier wil not qualify
====================





Priceless!!!!!!

Should clarify that really - eligibility by parentage or birth.

I don't agree with one Grandparent being enough either, or the current residency period, for internationals. It should be:
One parent should have to be eligible via birth, or
You've spent over half your life in that country.

how can a player born in England not be classed as homegrown?

Hasn't spent 3yrs being trained at a club in England

Chronic isn't home grown, kick him out

Lots of people born in England don't consider themselves as home grown.

groovy on the spurs board again. blatent lieing about his reason for being here as yet again i haven't said anything anti arsenal. just admit that you come here because you love spurs

the rule has to be framed in that way to get around EU Employment rules.

Ilori shouldn't be homegrown under the rules?

Comment deleted by Site Moderator

Neither are, though not sure why Dier should be more entitled to being homegrown than Ilori other than the fact his name ends in a vowel, given both were born in England then moved to Portugal as a child

Surely it should be down to nationality status.

If you were born in this country you naturally have British nationality status.

If you acquire British Nationality by another route then you should be eligible to be classified as British and qualify under the home grown player status.

I think the Home Office would be wise to British clubs trying to exploit this by scrutinising applications from football players for British Nationality quite closely. Other factors should be taken into account.
