Sorry Garswood, for some reason I couldn’t see your comment when I posted my reply.
Here is an idiot’s guide (should come in handy) from the Daily Mail (of course, it’s an idiot’s guide).
It’s from last year’s loan window but it helps. This year’s loan window is open from tomorrow and shuts on the 4th Thursday in March. Can’t loan anyone from abroad.
I think that there’s always been a limit on the number of loan players in a squad & starting XI, but the loophole that Watford exploited last season was that it didn’t apply to players loaned from outside of the English league’s which was why they got a ton of players from the 2 Spanish & Italian club’s that their owners also own.
I remember reading an interview with a manager (possibly Ian Holloway) where he was complaining that whilst Watford hadn’t broken any rules, they’d bent them almost to breaking point & that it was sneaky & the FA should do something about it. Watford’s response was basically that other club’s were just jealous that they hadn’t realised it too.
I hadn’t read about it, but if the football league have changed anything this season then it must be to make the limit apply to this scenario tooseems uwe is sending everton lad back and bringing in another defender
might be dawson
so it looks like 5 loansCould be a few more loanees on the way though when the window re-opens on Monday
how many have we got and how many are we allowed to have[/quote]
Don’t know whether someone has answered this for you but this is from an article about us looking to bring in Craig Dawson…
And that news will come as a blow to many Wanderers fans who were desperate to see Dougie Freedman get the funds to make his own effort to tempt the 23-year-old, pictured, for a second spell at the club. Wigan failed with a deadline day bid for Dawson because they failed to clear the relevant paperwork in time for the 11pm deadline – and the situation was further complicated by the fact Rosler can only play five loan players in his matchday squad, as per Football League rules introduced this season.
… I didn’t know they’d changed the rules this season. Might have been something to do with Watford having 324 on loan last season. Not sure how many you can have in total but you can only have 5 dressed up in football kit on match days. No wonder Coyle struggled – that full kit wanker took up one of the 5 slots himself.[/quote]
this and garswoods reply sorted me out thanks. funny that no one else noticed that the lad coyle was also a loanee at the time
this and garswoods reply sorted me out thanks. funny that no one else noticed that the lad coyle was also a loanee at the timeYou always get that little bit extra from me ;) But he wasn’t a loanee, just one of the 16 kit wearers!
Not sure how many players on loan teams are allowed.Sure teams are only allowed to play five loan players in a game.
Watford had a team full of loans last season albeit mostly foreign players[/quote]Is that not the reason it got changed through Watford.
