He did. His employer said he could have 4 weeks.That's a good point. I'm going to try it with my boss.

Le Havre registered a complaint about our signing of him, so although we basically signed him in July 2009 he wasnt registered until October, so when he left in July 2012 he hasn't made the 36 months.Not sure if months are counted or just number of seasons. I asked MR.Mujac on Twitter, he said Pogba will count as home grown player.
Not sure though.
Where has he said that? Unlike him to be wrong on youth stuff

To be homegrown a player must be registered for 36 months prior to his 21st birthday, Pogba missed it by like 3 months.
Interesting, will see if he replies to my post above, I'm curious now.
Ah, okay. Thanks.Didnt spend 3 seasons with us , which i think is the criteria for foreign players.
Really? Wow. That's a mad rule. Not exactly home-grown is it?I think the rule is that they have to either spend 3 seasons or 3 years prior to their 21st birthday.
He is a home grown player.Le Havre registered a complaint about our signing of him, so although we basically signed him in July 2009 he wasnt registered until October, so when he left in July 2012 he hasn't made the 36 months.
Unless @Mr. MUJAC can correct me, he knows his stuff.
On what basis?He is a home grown player.
Yeah. Not sure whether they will consider 36 months like you said or just 3 seasons.Interesting, will see if he replies to my post above, I'm curious now.
Two more years and they could get a British passport.Really? Wow. That's a mad rule. Not exactly home-grown is it?
I didn't hear anything "official". Sorry, I don't have a link as this was on SSN HQ. The implication was lawyers were talking in Manchester, but that could just have been my desperate interpretation. I can't find a link on their transfer central web page, but this was definitely the head line from the transfer central reporter.Have Juve officially said that or just 'sky sources'?
I'm surprised 21 is the cut-off. Surely 18 should be the threshold. That is to say if with a club for 3 years before the age of 18. Why 21? It seems a bit arbitrary given he could vote from 18!Two more years and they could get a British passport.
Probably something that won't happen for a long long time.So Pogba is officially a home-grown United player. We are potentially going to spend £100m on buying back a home-grown United player. This has to be a first in world football. For a club to break a transfer record to buy back a 'home-grown' talent.
He wasn't registered for either of those time periods.A home-grown player will be defined as one who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the Season during which he turns 21).
Probably never again!Probably something that won't happen for a long long time.
Forget homegrown. This is world's record transferSo Pogba is officially a home-grown United player. We are potentially going to spend £100m on buying back a home-grown United player. This has to be a first in world football. For a club to break a transfer record to buy back a 'home-grown' talent.
Doesn't need to be registered if he was at the club from 16. According to FM when I bought him back he was considered as a youth product.According to the rules:
He wasn't registered for either of those time periods.
It is. But don't you think the home-grown aspect makes it really unique. I mean obviously, if we were in the CL its important to have home-grown. But the fact that we are breaking a world record to buy back an officially 'home-grown' player is very very unique. 'He's One Of Our Own, He's One Of Our Own. 100m quid. And he's One Of Our Own.'Forget homegrown. This is world's record transfer
The homegrown rules say nothing about that.Doesn't need to be registered if he was at the club from 16. According to FM when I bought him back he was considered as a youth product.
We didn't buy him for the homegrown quota that's for sure. It's just happensIt is. But don't you think the home-grown aspect makes it really unique.

'He's One Of Our Own, He's One Of Our Own. 100m quid. And he's One Of Our Own.'
Any chance that they may have backdated it as we were found to have done nothing wrong?According to the rules:
He wasn't registered for either of those time periods.
My boss won't have a leg to stand on, given this precedent.He did. His employer said he could have 4 weeks.
On what basis?[/QU
The general definition of a youth product is as follows:On what basis?
that's not the PL homegrown criteriaThe general definition of a youth product is as follows:
1. Did not play professionally for another club
2. Joined before 18 years old
3. Played in our Academy (or equivalent)
4. Qualifies for FA Youth Cup
Pogba ticks all those boxes.
EUFA's criteria has little to do with actual youth development.
MEN reported that. Don't know if true...From what I read the other day, they have to have been at the club for 3 years to be classed as "home grown" but he was only here 2 years and 9 months...
So I read anyway...
You've answered your own question really. That's exactly why he's still on holiday.Maybe a stupid question, but why has his holiday been so long? I'm guessing a combination of Euros + Serie A starting late? August 7 still seems a pretty late date to return.
What you have to consider is one regime concluding the "sale" and another buying him back. At the very core it's two different entities, if you will.It is. But don't you think the home-grown aspect makes it really unique. I mean obviously, if we were in the CL its important to have home-grown. But the fact that we are breaking a world record to buy back an officially 'home-grown' player is very very unique. 'He's One Of Our Own, He's One Of Our Own. 100m quid. And he's One Of Our Own.'
To be honest, unless anybody can dig out the registration papers it's hard to know. He first joined at the end of July, and if we've got away with that being the date, he did 3 years. If they are dated October, when it was finally settled, then obviously he didn't.From what I read the other day, they have to have been at the club for 3 years to be classed as "home grown" but he was only here 2 years and 9 months...
So I read anyway...
Ah here.What you have to consider is one regime concluding the "sale" and another buying him back. At the very core it's two different entities, if you will.
