Shouldn't make any difference unless he has British citizenship. The rules are that British clubs cannot sign any non-british players under the age of 18. Caveat might be if the family have relocated to Britain and therefore have a right to remain and signed up to a club as a consequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know the ins and outs but when I was with an academy a few years back they signed a lad from Israel who had dual citizenship with a Swedish passport. He was 16 when he joined, this was 2019 so don’t know if rules have changed in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot sign any player under the age of 18 that doesn't have British nationality or residing in Britain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 Any chance of any of our young lads going out on loan this season? Is it a bit unusual to have no one going out on loan 2 weeks into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rorab Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 Currently this is how many players the other Championship clubs have out on loan at a quick glance: Birmingham: 3 Blackburn: 2 Bristol City: 6 Cardiff: 5 Coventry: 1 Huddersfield: 1 Hull: 6 Ipswich: 6 Leeds: 6 (but all are first team players with their weird loan clauses to continental sides) Leicester: 1 Middlesbrough: 4 Millwall: 3 Norwich: 8 Plymouth: 3 Preston: 2 QPR: 1 Rotherham: 4 Sheff Weds: 0 Southampton: 5 (though 2 are established/older players to continental sides) Stoke: 4 Sunderland: 2 Swansea: 1 Watford: 5 West Brom: 3 As usual, we're lagging a bit with only Opoku out, but honestly given that I'd imagine Maresca probably wanted to look at a lot of players at the club I'm not too concerned yet - our numbers aren't exactly abnormal right now looking at the rest of the league - Leeds for example have 0 academy players out on loan as far as I could find - probably due to similar levels of new manager and relative unfinalised squad. So we'll see by the end of the window what the number is, though if it's anything like previous years we'll be lucky to see even 3/4 going out which would be a bit of a disappointment imo, but hopefully we can get some outgoings in the next few weeks as our squad gets more complete!

AjcW Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 Most of the ones who you’d assume would have gone out on loan have been in the first team match day squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox on the Rox Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 Trouble is at this stage many clubs have filled loan places so it's not easy to find decent placements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Wanya looked a really useful player yesterday in the first half. Looks like hes a good dribbler with a nice turn of pace. Wouldnt mind him being in our squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was being facetious, there's probably only Maswanhise and Brunt that would be suitable, the rest are either being used or injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybside Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 Out of interest, how many of todays squad are Leicester born, Leicester based or have come thru the various ages? I coach u12's and see many kids start off at the Academy at u8/u9 then don't make the grade so interested to see how many of these have come thru the age system?
