First team squad currently includes 18 overseas players over the age of 21 who are not counted as homegrown. (Fabregas is homegrown due to his time at Arsenal Academy). I've excluded fringe players like Moses and Marin but included regulars from last Season like Mikel.
Realistically looking at the squad either Cech or Coutouis will leave (sold or loaned) unless Jose can shift Mikel. This has to happen to meet Premier league/Champions league rules. We would then have to offload ANOTHER overseas player in order to bring in one more overseas player. So realistically we will HAVE to sell Torres to bring in another overseas striker and I think that may prove difficult.
I can't see us selling or loaning the other players.
I hope this helps clarify the situation.
interesting though that Pogba would quality as a homegrown due to his time at Manchester United Academy!

We could always leave Schwarzer out just as they did last season with Hilario
