what who would have thunk it, midfielder prefers everton than spurs !

In fairness, if I am him right now, all I see are stacks of names ahead of me!

It's ironic that we were close to signing this guy a couple of years ago, but supposedly decided not to because of him being injury prone. Since then we've gotten Odobert and Kudus who have both been out with long term injuries, whilst Nusa hasn't been injured at all. He's class. He's got that speed, low center of gravity and will always be able to just flick one past you, which means teams will often double up on him, creating a lot of room for wing backs to overlap or midfielders to arrive in support. More often than not he will cut in and shoot or cross - always creating mayhem.

I'd love to see us sign him, but it doesn't seem like we're interested any more, unfortunately. Some highlights from last night's game against Sweden.

He's quality. But to be fair he failed his medical at Brentford after they found back and knee issues including a piece of loose cartilage. So it's no surprise we didn't take the risk.....

Didn't he turn us down for Brentford; then fail his medical at Brentford?

The reverse happened with Gray though thankfully

UEFA Rules:

A club must register a minimum of 8 Homegrown players. These 8 spots must be a combination of Club Trained (CT) and Association Trained (AT) with a maximum of 4 spots being AT. This means each team must have a minimum of 4 CT players.

To qualify as CT, a player must:
1) spend three seasons or 36 months registered with the parent club between the ages of 15 and 21. Nationality does not matter.
2) loans to domestic teams do not affect this period
3) I couldn’t find a link on loans to teams from other UEFA leagues, but I believe a player can only spend two of the minimum three years spent on loan abroad. Plus not sure if Scotland, Wales or NI count as domestic or not.

Got it. I think my point still holds up. We should continue to drive to this agenda even though we have dropped out of UEFA comps for the 26/27 season. We have to plan as if we're back in next season (27/28) in our squad building strategy. Gray and Bergval seem the most high profile players that could be long term club trained. I think we would have seen others like Scarlett, Devine, Phillips move on at that stage.
