Title: The Transfer deadline thing.
Post by: yeo on Thursday, October 6, 2005, 14:45:28
Seems to be a bit of a joke really.

We get to sign a forward when we have 100's and loads of clubs seem to be signing loan players all over the place.As far as I can see the only real excuse for a loan player should be if you have no one to fill the position because of sickness and injury.

thats what the rule is supposed to be. "emergency" loans but of course nobody is using the loans in an "emergency"

The Football league have gone against FIFA/Uefa on this one.  There's meant to be no transfer activity but the FL said they wouldn't agree to this and stipulated that clubs must have access to emergency loans, fully understanding that the term "emergency" could mean pretty much any situation.

Thats the key bit, the League are basically creating a loophole and are happy to see the rules being bent because they disagree with it, odds are that in a year or so all these emergencies will have to be uefa sanctioned, so we don't upset johnny foreigner and his rules.

Premiership and Football League clubs cannot now sign players until 1 January 2006.

In exceptional circumstances, such as if a club had no goalkeepers available, the Premiership might consider allowing a club to sign a player.

In the Football League, loan deals are permitted.

Conference clubs can register four short-term and four long-term loan players after the window closes, and can play five loan players in a game.

They can also sign a keeper for a minimum period of seven days outside the window if they do not have a registered keeper available.


from the BBC website.

The Football League/FA didn't want the transfer window in the first place, they fought it as long as they could.
