Cant say I'm suprised.
Walcott Whilshere and gibbs dont need to be registered as they are under 21
Because we sign people at a young age (Younger than 21) and train them ourselves.
I thought the whole point of the new system was to improve the quality of English players? And yet Arsenal are able to register a squad that doesnt have a single British born player. The three years thing makes a mockery of the 25 man squad tbh.

Liverpool squad will hopefully be able to achieve top 4, not entirely confident in this squad though. In particular our striking options. Hopefully something to come in January.
the whole rule is a bit of a joke in the first place, mainly a PR stunt
totaly agree, its not going to help push through more young englishman. in my eyes if the player is good enough he will get in the side, simple as that regardless of how many foreign players are in that squad.
Agree, if anything it stunts the growth of young english players. They have to be kept so the club adhere's to the rule, yet are not good enough to be in the starting eleven. They can't be loaned out for first team experience because they have to be kept.
They can be loaned out, as long as there registered twith the club they still count as being trained by the club if thats what you mean.
But what will they actually mean in practice? BBC Sport explains the key points of the new system:
- Clubs register a squad of up to 25 players, which must include at least eight 'home-grown' players, at the end of each transfer window.
- Home-grown players do not have to be English; home-grown players are defined as those who "irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to 21st birthday"
- Clubs can supplement squad with unlimited number of players under the age of 21.
- Changes can be made only during transfer windows, although in exceptional circumstances (eg goalkeeping injury crisis) moves could be allowed.
- Players loaned to Football League clubs cannot be replaced, but can regain their spot on return to parent club.
- Rules apply only to Premier League matches, not European, FA Cup or League Cup action.
- First deadline is 1700 BST on 1 September (24 hours after end of August transfer window).

Newcastles squad is as expected really. Apart from Forster being in there... as he is on loan at Celtic? must have a recall clause in his loan.
Also wondering if anyone will loan Woodgate if he ever gets fit.
