The Football Association! which oversees the Premier League! has made it so the 20 participating clubs must name a 25-man squad of players who are over 21 years of age! and at least eight of them have to be homegrown! but that term is a bit misleading.
A homegrown player is has to be registered with an English – or Welsh – club for three years before they turned 21 years of age! but still the term has left many fans scratching their heads.
Defined
Many think that “homegrown” means that players must be English and from their own club’s academy! but this is not necessarily the case.

Month In Review: August 2010
Manchester United have completed their first month of the 2010/11 season! and even though they had a little hiccup against Fulham! it was a pretty successful August for the Reds.
In their four matches during August! United scored 11 goals
with eight different players – as well as being the beneficiaries of an phone number data own goal – finding the scoresheet.
Dimitar Berbatov led the Reds with three goals in as many matches! which is a fourth of his scoring total from the entire 2009/10 season (12 goals in 29 matches).
While the Bulgarian has impressed with more enthusiastic performances! it has a been 35-year old midfielder that has been the most influential for United so far this season.

Cleverley Done
In a way that only he can! Sir Alex Ferguson stayed to his word by giving Tom Cleverley a chance to gain first-team experience – but it just not going to be at Old Trafford this season.
The promising young starlet! who is dubbed to be the long-term replacement to Paul Scholes! is set to join Wigan Athletic on a season-long loan deal when he gets back from international duty with the English U-21 national team! which should best please Roberto Martinez.
Cleverley is a very talented attack-minded midfielder who can play in agen casino online a wide variety of positions! which will definitely suit Martinez’s positive style of play.
The 37-year old manager! who is entering his second full season with the
Greater Manchester club! has endured a very frustrating start to the 2010/11 Barclays Premier League season with his team only scoring one goal in their first three matches! which the capture of Cleverley should change.

Jack Would Do Rodwell
Despite Sir Alex Ferguson stating that his summer transfer marketing list business has been completed! the tabloids are linking Manchester United with Everton’s Jack Rodwell before Tuesday’s deadline.
After completing the signings of Chris Smalling! Javier Hernandez and Bebe! both Ferguson and United’s Chief Executive! David Gill! have said that the club will not be tempted to splash anymore cash in this summer’s inflated-price transfer window.
seems could help United’s cause and attempt to bring the Barclays Premier League title back to Old Trafford.
