I imagine that their intention will be to rotate quite heavily around European game weeks, in order to utilise the full depth of their squad. Not being included in the European 25 may mean that Omari is seen as being a more likely pick for EPL games in those gameweeks. |  |

I imagine one of the draws of Forest would have been European football. Of course the main reason was Prem football (and agent relations!) He’d want to be in the 25 that’s for sure. |  |

Indeed, actually might be a positive. |  | |  |

Think that’s a generous reading - it will be their best 25 (or in fact 22 due to homegrown rules) in that squad and pretty damning if the manager doesn’t include Omari in that. |  | |  |

Consistent with the talk of Hutch being a ‘club signing’, with Omari and Edu’s shared links to Kia J. |  |

Would it not be a similar situation as with Chelsea in previous years where they have an almost shadow squad for the European competition? Him not being in that would mean he's in with more of a shout of playing in the PL. |  | |  |

Chelsea only left 1-2 out didn't they for qualifying? |  |

Be interesting to see the 25 then it might be a bit clearer. |  |

And the league 25. Certainly, I think it would be more of a blow being left out of that than the European squad.

They only did it for the dopy Conference League didn’t they? Or if they did do it for the Europa it wasn’t for the whole time? |  |

I don't know, to be honest, you may well be right. I just remember they did something along those lines. I had imagined that OH's main involvement might be in Europe, but assuming he's in the Premier League squad sounds like it will be in that, albeit largely from the bench, you would have thought. |  | |  |

Europa for Forest much more prestigious and important than conference was for Chelsea you’d think, but either way I don’t think they are leaving out Omari or anybody else as a way of keeping them fresh for bigger games. Is worth considering that we’d face similar issues with the homegrown thing should we make it to Europe in the next few years, value of a good academy and/or youth recruitment shows there. |  | |  |

Would town be missing out on potential funds with his exclusion from Europe... are European appearence add ons a thing? |  |

So did Szmodics and I assume you have time for him? I think it’s a difficult situation for a player - why should they be practically enslaved to a club? If I want to move job, I can - despite my ‘contract’. It’s not what I would have done, but don’t think he deserves absolute vitriol from some. [Post edited 3 Sep 18:51]

I was looking at it the other way, that they will have added players primarily viewed as Europa League players. However important the competition is to them, it's not as important as the Premier League.

No idea! But I'd imagine we'd have focused more on Premier League games, probably international appearances. |  | |  |

Yep I concur. Definitely seen in a more negative light imo. You'd want your best players to be available for the key matches, and I'd imagine Europe being quite a big thing in Forests Season this year. The bottom few squad spots I could understand some jostling for squad maximisation but to not make the squad isn't the best start. Potentially as the stories have said it looks like then owners buy rather than the managers |  |
