Village Idiot Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You just transferred Carroll, Xisco and Routledge while only taking on Ireland and Kuqi. Surely there should be a space left? Unless there's some of that homegrown shenanigans at work. http://www.premierleague.com/staticFiles/62/69/0,,12306~158050,00.pdf We've still registered Xisco and Routledge regardless of loaning them out. Is that a rule in the PL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a rule in the PL? No, we're just stupid. Not even being sarcastic there. Actually it's in the rules. Players in the 25-man squads who go out on loan to Football League clubs may not be replaced. However they may reclaim their place on their return. Clubs do not have to name a full squad of 25 if they do not have that many contracted players and in this instance they may add free agents outside the transfer window. However if they have 25 eligible contracted players, they must be named. Source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Still considered as eligible contracted players meant to be registered under the 2nd rule. Which is really silly as the league should have the option of registering them only if they are recalled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked up ManCity up and they have only 23 registered players despite - for example - loaning out Wayne Bridge to Wham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 They are not "eligible" when loaned out unless we have recall clauses. And IIRC we don't have that for Xisco and Foster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Just looked up ManCity up and they have only 23 registered players despite - for example - loaning out Wayne Bridge to Wham. Not sure if a player can register for 2 premier league clubs at the same time. Perhaps you are right on that count, although I doubt we will be bringing in any more strikers even if we have another slot open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they have Caicedo/Adebayor on loan to La Liga clubs and they aren't on the list either (Adebayor's loan being pretty similar to Xisco's in timing). You're probably right, but still pretty sloppy from your staff to just lose those spaces for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah come to think of it, your interpretation makes more sense. Still doesn't deny the silly fact that Kuqi will take up the last remaining slot when more could be available. Amateurs those guys... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
