Yes he would. I heard Paul McGuiness say something about that the other night.

Yes he would as he was at United 3 years as a youth.
Cesc is as well.

cheers guys...! appreciate it

If you train at a club for 3 years before you are 21 then you are classed as home grown.

As far as Im aware you need 4 home grown 'club' players and a total of 8 from the 'country'

In Europe it is something like that. PL doesn't really have a minimum requirement for homegrown players, just a maximum of 17 non HG and no more than 25 players in total.

Yeah, to fill your 25 squad players you must have 8 homegrown players.

Yep.

0-17 non HG over born after Jan '95
0-8 homegrown born after Jan '95
unlimited players born before Jan '95

You got your before and after a round the wrong way

And it is 0-25 homegrown players

I thought it was 3 entire seasons.

3 months short of the 3 years required.

That's what I thought. October 2009 - July 2012

When i re-signed Pogba on FM he was classed as home grown

DJ

Ah yeah!

I think Schneiderlin counts as "home grown" too, i think the idea was to "force" more teams to have English players in the sqaud.

But with the likes of Ron-Robert Zieler, Tim Krul, Alex Song, Pogba, Cesc, Schneiderlin, Max Gradel, Jeffrey Bruma, Sigurdsson, Carlos Vela all qualifying as "home grown" it kind of makes a mockery of the whole thing IMO.

Stupid rule...
