The Everton Squad of 25.....well, 21

[Alio]

Pretty obvious, but confirmation of the squad from the OS....


All of Everton's registered players are eligible for the Blues this season after the Club submitted its official squad list on Wednesday.

The youthful nature of David Moyes' squad means meeting new Premier League rules was not a problem.

This season the league has introduced a new rule whereby Clubs must name up to a 25-man squad - which can only be modified during the January transfer window once submitted.

Other clubs, notably Manchester City, have had to offload players to enable them to meet the regulations. Robinho, Craig Bellamy and Felipe Caicedo all departed Eastlands this summer, but ex-Everton man Jo is part of their squad.

As well as boasting a young squad, Everton also have a proud record of player development, meaning meeting the new ‘home-grown' quota has been straightforward.

The lists were submitted on 1 September, the day after the summer transfer window closed.

Managers will then draw their squads, for Premier League games only, from this party, which can not be changed until the January transfer window.

The rules state that the squad must contain at least eight ‘home-grown' players, with that term meaning they have spent three years at an English or Welsh club between the ages of 16 and 21.

i don't understand it, we can have 25 but submitted 21 yet we can use a further 7 under 21's making it a 28 man squad. plus why isn't rodwell in the first 21 anyway.

He just doesn't need to be I guess

If we were made of millions, we'd be hoping for 4 new signings in January perhaps.............ha

Rodwell cant be added to the squad, hes under 21.

And people will submit another squad list 1st Feb.

I think you can add youngsters whenever you want, so we don't need to list all the U21s.

Basically, all we need to know, is that we have 4 free slots for over 21 year olds we want to loan/sign in Jan, and that every player we have now can play.

You dont need "free slots", it starts all over again in January.

Well, apparently, if you have free slots you're allowed to draft in free transfers at any point in between windows.

As is stated above, they don't need to be named to the 25 man squad.

This does allow Everton to add 4 players outside the window who are not under contract, though, since they have only used 21 of the spots.

[Deleted member 28206]

see jonathan woodgate didn't make spuds final 25

 

[EFCTim Cahill]

we have four spaces to sign players in january for our revised squad on feb.1

Two things I find noteworthy (because I'm weird like that):

1) It appears we quietly got rid of Kieran Agard at some point (he was in the original list of eligible home-grown players on the OS in June, but wasn't on the team sheet for any reserve game in 2010). He's never going to be Premier league quality, but maybe we could have sent him to Hearts when they were interested...

2) The Liverpool Echo's claim that Iain Turner has actually been loaned to Coventry for the season is almost certainly false, since he is in our team list...

Speaking of that, right now Adam Davies is our third keeper (not a bad thing, imo). From having 9 keepers over the age of 17 on the books at one point in 2009, we're down to 4... Probably also not a bad thing.

Got it in one there lad...

Unlike our four legged friend who's overweight and woolly

It's only a month loan for Turner. But those types of loans can be extended on agreement.

Also they're subject to recall and therefore they probably included them in the 25 on that previso
