Weren't Coquelin and Ryo loaned out for most of their time with us? And not I. The Uk? Doubt they would count if that was the case as they need to be here for the 3 years between certain ages. Miquel I think is homegrown as he's been playing in the uk for ages.
I looked it up. They have to be affiliated with the English FA or Welsh FA for at least 3 years before their 21st birthday. Coquelin played in England 08-09, 09-10 and 11-12. So he should be home-grown. Ryo was in England for the last 3 seasons and there were rumours of AW being reluctant to loan Ryo back to the Dutch league because they wanted him to qualify for the home-grown rule, sending him to the likes of Bolton and Wigan instead.
