bpexile Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Please excuse my ignorance on this subject but can someone please explain what constitutes a "home grown player" & it has Kalas as home grown, which is confusing me. Under 21 players that are under contract are listed separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Andi Weimann is home grown too, maybe to do with the academy they attended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 It's to do with training at a club before the age of 22 I think say you have to be at a English based club before that age or some bollocks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James54De Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Yep, 2(?) years at a British club under the age of 21(?) constitutes home grown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France, wiki says he played for Caen youth team, but I’m pretty sure he was interviewed and said he played a local youth team in Caen??? @Monkehis right, it’s to do with youth years. Both Weimann and Kalas were at Villa and Chelsea respectively at young ages. Massengo is not just home grown, but classed as “club developed” believe it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might sound similar in an English accent, but I think you will find he was playing a lot further south, in Cannes to be precise. I am pretty sure one of his parents was working there, as a teacher? That might have been Taylor Moore, though, who we bought from Lens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I should’ve checked first…thought I was being all clever with my Can-Can Caen-Cannes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Interesting that home grown is English only, not UK. That bloody foreigner, Naismith! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
