Wikipedia is not a reliable source for anything like this. Anyone can edit it, barely takes a minute.

Yes. It is odd not to have any official mention, yet to have a Nantes official quoted in one source (and one only).

I hope nobody minds me starting a new topic, since we're past the deadline and it's hard to keep track of where the posts end up, but this was posted a few hours ago: http://www.butfootballclub.fr/ligue-1/nantes/fc-nantes-mercato-queensy-menig-de-retour-de-pret-des-janvier/ Based on some Google Translate work and editing, it seems to say: "Recruited on the last day of [the Mercato?] and then loaned to Oldham Athletic (D3 English) in the stride, Queensy Menig (ex-Ajax Amsterdam, 22 years) could return sooner than expected to FC Nantes. Indeed, as he hinted to Ouest-France [a newspaper, I think], Waldemar Kita is pleased with his acquisition ... And does not rule out giving him his chance sooner than expected."We do not want to precipitate things but we allow ourselves to get him back in January. No sooner had the planes made us sign (?) that some clubs offered to buy it," enthused the president of FCN." That sounds like a year-long loan with a recall clause, or maybe a six-month loan, on the cards. We already have five loan signings, but I think the restriction is on the number on your teamsheet, so in theory we could drop one (Wilson?) and still have him on board.

Cheers chaps. Ha, yes, if a few more are announced late today I might update it one last time...!

Okay, I'm done updating this.

To be fair this applies to me too. Born in London, never lived in Oldham. Grandad and dad both Latics fans, better being one too than the usual Liverpool/Man U fans at school.

Or the slightly larger fee of €9m and a substantial sell-on clause, according to PA.

That's a shame. Hope they all line something up soon.

That's a great name. Must have a good twin called Quincy.

And I thought the Camara never lied. Heartbroken.

And breathe.

Well it's not like we need it this season. Okay, maybe the away team's half of the scoreboard.

Did you move closer to the screen?

Where did you see that he's been given a free? Nothing on their website.

Given the lad's nationality perhaps this is one for the Merge O'Matic.

It was Byrne.

Jack Byrne signs on loan. Added to OP and post above. Once the deadline has passed I'll stop updating this thread.

This is the first season in years where my fantasy league team had had a better start than my actual team. And I'm shit at fantasy football. I've no idea what's going on with investment/takeovers, but I hope the dust settles soon so I can complain from my usual position of po-faced self-righteousness.

Corney likes keeping fees secret. I remember him being very proud of what we paid for Colbeck.

Holloway isn't our record signing. I doubt somehow we dropped more than £700,000 on him.

Amen.

Unless all those injuries happened this morning – which I don't believe – there's no excuse for not sticking a few scholars on the bench.

Another ten also on the pitch from the sounds of it.

For those of us unable to watch with sound, what does he say?
