Even if James Milner, Mario Balotelli and Fernando Torres were to sign (latest to be linked that is why I have stated them), then Our 25 man squad could quite easily be: Hart, Given, Taylor (Gks) Zabaleta, Richards, Onouha, Kompany, K Toure, Lescott, Kolarov, Garrido/Bridge (Defs) SWP, A Johnson, Vieira, Ireland, Barry, de Jong, Milner, Y Toure, Silva (Mids) Bellamy, Tevez, Adebayor, Torres, Robinho/Santa Cruz Meaning we would only require to chose between Bridge & Garrido for 1 place, and Robinho & RSC for the other, with JO to leave on loan or sold. Michael Johnson is injured until Oct/Nov, so it would be pointless to nominate him until January and then instead of Vieira. Players under 21 or 21 on 1 Jan 10, and thus do not require registering for the 25 man squad are: Cunningham, Boateng, Mee, Boyata, Wabarra, Trippier, Ibrahim, Weiss, Tutte, Kay, Clayton, Henshall, McDermott, Helan, Nimley, Guidetti, Balotelli & Ball (all have either played in US tour or appeared on bench before for City...or new signings, but younger than 21). So there is no issue here at all, we might need to let 1 or possibly 2 players go if we were to sign both Milner & Torres for the 25 man squad, as Balotelli and any other kid we might sign between now and 1 Sept are part of the "unlimited" team. Only problem could be nominated Europa Lge squad, as age is irrelevant there, they have to be nominated in a 25 man squad, and some unfortunately will miss out, but they will still play in both domestic cup comps (no registration required) and the Prem....as detailed above, selecting a 25 man squad is easy and of no concern to City at all. GET YOUR FACTS correct, before spouting rubbish and passing it off as gospel, anybody can check Wikipiedia, but they have kids listed as part of the squad, and also the likes of Logan (released by the club, last having trials with Sheff U), Etuhu (doing time for Porridge), and Gonzalez (contract ends at begining of Jan) Manchester City do NOT have 37 players aged 22 and over that is for sure, and if we do, which 14 players did we sign yesterday that have not been made public knowledge yet?.
