The irish lad Kofi Balmer has signed, Official.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I think if it was a straight forward loan I would probably steer clear unless we really haven't identified some form of alternative. With an option to buy or permanently from the off then I would love to. I just worry with a loan and nothing else, we just end up back here again next season

So just read that it stops 2 year loan agreements. I.e continuous, like Moises Kean to juve.

I understand your sentiment, but loaning a player we know will perform is not a negative. If the club have the money to buy a permanent player that can or will eventually perform to the same level, then I’d say that is the better option…but have we found such a player? Can we even afford that type of player? With Wolves asking for 35m for Gibbs-White, I’d imagine we can’t afford a player as good as CG.

I’d really prefer the club don’t spend that sort of money on a single player for the foreseeable future. We over spent on Benteke and Sakho…it’s no wonder a few years down the line we didn’t have a penny left to spend on younger players. We have just again started signing proper players again and I’m more comfortable with the 15-20m fees we have been seeing. Saying that…I’d take a punt on Watkins if he was available for around 26m.

I logged on to see what everyone thinks of this. The silence answers that one!

glens or blues?

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

This is FIFA new rules [Link]
The rules are not retrospective so would not effect current or previous loans. The exemption are interesting as Gallagher although over 21 some parts would not apply as he is homegrown. Current epl rules will still apply

Yh, even if he didn’t play for Chelsea in between if we signed him again it would be two seperate year long transfers- 2 deals.

Moises Kean went to Juve on a 2 year loan deal in one transaction. These are now banned.

I think that makes 15 signings this window,the only snag is how long will it take to integrate those players with the current squad? Their transfer policy may well be their undoing.

I really want them to go down now, hate it when teams just completely disregards the guys that got them promoted.
