Yep, based on that wording, I'd agree with that. It's the "working towards" bit that suggests he does count as Home Grown.

They really don't like leaving things black and white at Red Hall do they?

Nope, my only worry would be if he can't get 3 full seasons in before he's ineligible for the 21's, and therefore can't ever be club trained, can he still be working towards it before hand??? It might depend on when he becomes ineligible for the under 21's....like I say, confusing, and I give up.

Common sense would say if your contract runs for 3 years or more, then you're working towards it (as seeing out that contract would qualify). If your contract is shorter than that, you're not working towards it until you sign a contract that would cover the 3 year period.

But we all know that common sense doesn't necessarily play a part!

thanks for feedback about players Id missed (ive been busy - new baby and all that!)

Squad list amended again and should be ok for now, will add Briggs when lenght of contact, etc. is confirmed.

If anyone can link me to anything (press release or new signing/release info) about players out of contract in 2010 who are still on list would they mind?

Cheers.

Team for me so far has got to be

Kearney
Ainscough
Walker
Platt
Raynor
Briggs
Herbert
Hargreaves
Lestrange
Lynch
Whitehead
Elima
Langley

Subs: Diskin, Scruton, Donaldson, Royston

McAvoy and Bateman missing ?

Ah Van? ? ?

Briggs confirmed 2 year deal with an option for a third (although doesn't say whose option that is)

It's always the player's option, never the clubs.

Kyle Briggs has signed a two-year deal to join the Bulls, including a club option for a third season.

That's what it says in the t&a anyway.

I'm not sure that's right. After all, it's the club paying the wages. I would think it's the club's option to extend the deal rather than the player demanding a further year.

a couple of sarcasm detectors on the blink? or mine is overactive?

Squad numbers added

McAvoy???? Bateman????

Already discussed in the Squad Numbers thread, together with the speculation.

when are there contracts up?

i'll add em on list, if we know when they expire

Ill ask bateman.

is it worth adding the twitter accounts of the players on here?

@elliottw1989
@daveha86
@syko_sykes
@dannyaddy32
@mikeplatty
@jamielangley13
@ainy1
@chevwalker
@james_donaldson
@thomasburgess28
@mattdiskin

are the ones I know about.

Other three that I'm aware of that you've not included:

@scrutsy
@v1nnyf
@c_southernwood7

Cheers for them. These three don't seem to work for me:

@ainy1
@thomasburgess28
@c_southernwood7

Burgess has changed his handle. Hang on, I'll find out the new one (when internet starts running a bit quicker!).

Dunno who other two aren't working, unless they've changed too and I haven't noticed (or deleted their accounts).

Will take a look.

@Thomas_Burgess
@c_southernwood7 definitely correct
@ainy1 is apparently having trouble with his account at the moment (according to Karl Pryce's twitter)

You could cut out the middlemen and go straight to the Nandos website.
