Definitely worth either getting rid off or dropping from the squad if we can get another RWB.

Wrexham would have no problems with HG in the EPL.This is where Ryan Reynolds plan to take Wrexham into the Premier League will come unstuck, besides the fact they are rubbish. I assume a Wrexham team would have to make the HG quota with only Welsh players and their English contingent would be considered Johnny Foreigner for them.
This could put a transfer market premium on Ben Davies head as a “must have” for any Welsh team in the Premier League. Sadly I think timing will be off as Davies will have retired and probably become an Uber driver annoying passengers with tales of how he once made it to the by line before crossing into the box long before Wrexham, Swansea or anyone else makes it close.

It’s easy then Davies, Doherty and two of Dier, Sanchez or Rodon can make way.
Just to add:
Devine has not been included in ECL squads as he was not eligible because Nuno decided to have Omole instead of Alfie in the association players list.
Did you just call Bergwyn and Lucas RBs?Don't need another RB in the short term...
Emerson, Japh, Stevie(?) ..... Lucas(?)
Swansea seemed to manage a few years ago. Worst case I guess you just register the minimum number of random Welsh youth players and rely on the 17 foreigners.This is where Ryan Reynolds plan to take Wrexham into the Premier League will come unstuck, besides the fact they are rubbish. I assume a Wrexham team would have to make the HG quota with only Welsh players and their English contingent would be considered Johnny Foreigner for them.

Harvey is still U 21 in both EPL and UCL.Looks like we would need a couple of the kids like Harvey White etc to make up the difference.
Disclaimer:
-I did not count any of the players who were loaned out last season (all of whom we are likely to loan/sell once again) or Bergwijn.
-I did include Lenglet
Non-HG Players = 18 (1 over the limit)
Lloris, Emerson, Doherty, Sanchez, Dier, Romero, Rodon, Davies, (Lenglet), Reguilon, Perisic, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Bissouma, Richarlison, Kulusevski, Lucas, Son
Sarr, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Gil, Bergwijn
Non-Club-Trained HG = 2 (within limit)
Sessegnon, Forster
Club Trained = 5 (within limit)
Austin, Tanganga, Skipp, Winks?, Kane
Summary:
-We are 1 player over the limit when it comes to non-HG players.
-We must omit/sell 1 of either Rodon/Reguilon/Emerson/Doherty to meet the quota.
Effect on rest of window:
-We still want a RWB, AM, 2nd CB (1st being Lenglet).
-As long 1 of these 3 signings are HG, we can satisfy quota by omitting/selling 3 non-HG players. This can be Rodon & Reguilon & Emerson/Doherty.
-This would mean we have 2 players for each position (Reguilon out for an AM ideally balances our squad), even if you do not count Tanganga & Winks.
-If Tanganga or Winks are sold, each would need to be replaced by a HG to reach max senior squad limit of 25 .
So as we struggle to get Djed Spence transfer over the line I thought I would have a look at this from a CL perspective. Compliance with CL rules means compliance with PL.
the way UEFA explains it is a bit back to front but as far as I can understand.
- there is a max 25 of senior players allowed
- at least 4 of them need to be club trained
- at least 4 others can be trained by other clubs in the PL.
Club Trained
In a squad of 25 we would have the following ( assume Winks leaves)
- 3rd Keeper (Whiteman / Austen)
- Tanganga
- Skipp
- Kane
Other PL Trained
- Sessegnon
- Forster
- Spence (if he comes)
