I really dislike the Premier League and how it changes it's rules always to suit big clubs.

You used to be allowed to say register 21 players they just had to meet the rules to do with homegrown also you could do short term loans which they have now stopped (they blamed the big clubs loaning out lots of youngsters for this change)

If we lost our last keeper we can apply for emergency loan which is not just this country you can get one from abroad but who would come we couldn't even get one when money was offered.

The problem with the rules is they are not set as yes you can it's a case of having to apply and see it they will allow it.

You can de register players that are disabled but again it comes down to what I was saying above and I bet we would be refused.

The football leagues rules are far better which is messed up all football in this country should follow same rule set.

Speroni is out all season. We're left with Hennessy and another who has no experience. Emergency loans may be allowed by the league if the last remaining keeper has made less than 5 apps. So in the rules we are short of keepers and aren't that stupid to not prefer an experienced keeper instead of one with no apps at all in this league.

We could have filled the 25th space with a keeper and still can, but are now considering signing a winger in this 25th spot. If this was another club near the bottom we were about to play and they had Nasri and an experienced keeper playing we'd have the hump, especially if the keeper was motm or Nasri was excellent, or both.

Who knows if this is clear cut but Parish could get a loan keeper in asap if he wanted and we'd make do with one of our available outfield players. He could've addressed the winger in the window but didn't know Zaha would be injured (although Sako) was.

It can definitely be argued some taking advantage of the loan keeper rules here, and/or save cash for competitive advantage next season.

It is different than other suggested players though. Those were under contract. By now, all teams are probably aware of the players who are free, cause they're the only ones who could still be signed. And Nasri is the only one who stands out, managersa of all 14 clubs outside the top 6 are aware of this. For Nasri, I think the wages alone (which can't be supported in Spain or Italy)+ the fact that he has already played here mean that he's coming to the PL.
I'd wager that in the next month Nasri signs for one of Crystal Palace, Stoke, Newcastle, West Ham, Southampton or Leicester (only one with a French manager). The one mostly lacking wingers though is Palace, maybe West Ham and Leicester too

This looks like it won’t happen according to Croydon advertiser when asked about nasri he said good player but we need free agents in gk or forwards , in midfield we have enough cover , in other words his wage demands are probably to high and mr parish has said no !

Should've got another keeper in knowing Guaita is coming for free in the summer. Hennessy or Speroni or both will have to go anyway. Any manager worth his salt will say so anyway. Whether Parish steps in and still keeps Julian on the bench we don't know. He did when Julian still had it under Pardew.
