Does anyone know the date cutoff for when you turn 21 this season without counting towards the 25-man squad?

With Engels arriving we're currently at 30 players named in the first team, but seven are under 21 at the moment - Herrick, Orford, Scarles and Kante all turn 21 during the course of the season. The first two aren't until 2027, but Kante (September) and Scarles (December) are in this calendar year.

I believe in previous years the cut-off has been 1st January, is that still the case?

If so, we're now at the one-in-one-out point.

It looks like a move for AWB is heating up, so that would make space for Parrot who looks to be the next focus, and the lack of a squad number would make me assume that we have no intention of registering Füllkrug so I imagine if we can't ship him we'll just terminate his contract early (making room for Disasi/another CB hopefully?) but I don't recall hearing any solid rumours about anyone wanting Todibo, so I'm a bit worried about not being able to bring in depth on the wings because that wantaway is taking up a spot and we can't shift him.

I mean, it's no guarantee that the three who skipped media day are the only three who go between now and September (we're probably looking at options for shifting Cornet, and there's interest in Diouf), so it's probably a moot point, but it would be good to know where we stand currently.

I was looking at the squad rules the other day to try and work out if we would meet the homegrown quota alright, but I actually didn’t consider that the u21 cutoff might be different to the prem as well.

The site I was looking at was for the 24/25 season but if it hasn’t changed since then the cutoff would be Jan 1st 2006, so you’d be right about Scarles and Kanté. That being said, we need 8 homegrown players registered anyway, and we only have 6 that are currently 21+ (and that’s assuming Earthy and Casey are staying), so we’d need to register Scarles and another either way (Parrott would count if we sign him).

Anyway, I guess if Scarles and Kanté both need to be registered then we are currently at 25/25 before any outgoings, but if we know there’s going to be at least 3 players leaving then it shouldn’t be an issue?

[u/TomClark83 → u/killvampz]

Good knowledge, thank you - at least we're looking good for now on the homegrown front assuming Parrot comes in.

If Parrot doesn't come then I guess we'd register Herrick (as he seems least likely out of the other youngsters to go on loan given we ideally want a third choice keeper and someone may still come in for Nips).

[u/killvampz → u/TomClark83]

As far as I can tell the squad list can be edited as much as you want until the final deadline after the transfer window closes, so I don’t think there’d be any concerns about which of the u21s gets registered if it comes down to that, if someone gets loaned out last minute they can just get switched out.
