ALL HAIL THE BEGINNING OF THE VURKO ERA!

It's Schrodinger's transfer, both on and off at the same time.

I believe the Home Grown Rule is a PL rule, not an FA rule. Not sure if there's any equivalent for FL clubs, couldn't spot one in the current Handbook.

thanks very much...i had no idea

 

I did wonder how some premiership teams get away with only fielding the odd Englishman in the team on the field...its as long as they are in the match day squad

 

Home grown players don't have to be English - "a Player who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any Club (or club) affiliated to The Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three Seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday".

So that includes, for example, Bellerin, Christensen, Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Schmeichel and Lukaku.

God I hate these novelty tattoos nowadays.

Very good, Harry.

I was told Odebayo from Fulham who Swindon sent back....

Elijah Anuoluwapo Oluwaferanmi Oluwatomi Oluwalana Ayomikulehin Adebayo.

Now that's a name. The registrar must've had to change biros halfway through.

We've got a Thierry as well? #FrenchLad?

Chinedu Uche from Oldham Athletic to Glossop North End
Thierry Lewis from Oldham Athletic to Hyde United
 

Looks like he's a youth goalkeeper.

One of our ex-youth players who was on a pro deal seems to have left the club - Chinedu Uche to Glossop.

Doesn't say it's a loan, but it could be.

"Freeing up space" for loans isn't really that relevant any more.

You can have as many loan signings as you like in your squad. There are only a couple of restrictions:

- no more than five loan signings can be named on your teamsheet;

- no more than four loan signings from any single club during the season, of which only two can be aged over 23.

Will we be getting a French ifollow match commentator next?

That's iSuivre to you, mon ami.

It's possible we've got options on some of the expiring contracts (Missilou, Branger-Engone) as the club doesn't always announce them.

Removed - updated list on the next page or two.

Wasn't criticising, just pointing out he had no impact whatsoever on the game and that the team did well to overcome that handicap.

"Handicap"? 

Mate, take a step back. You're embarrassing yourself trying to find unnecessary negatives.

Every silver lining has a cloud, eh?

I'm torn. Voted Missilou but thought Clarke and Lang great too. Branger impressed me towards the end too, kept the ball from them well. Edmundson and Hamer not far behind. Plus Iversen for the save, of course.

YES. GET THE FUCK IN.

We've looked okay. Missilou good. Lucky with a couple of handball calls that could've gone against us in other circumstances. Could snatch a win but won't be easy.

Surridge being recalled then? (I thought he was on a full-season loan)

I agree. Have they gone? I've read posts saying they have, that one or more has extended their loan to the Fulham game (is that even allowed?), and I'm not even sure which ones were half- versus full-season loans.

Cue another thirty pages of meltdown!

does that relate to his time with us or are these new allegations?

 

No, while at Barnsley.

In the most surprising move of the summer, Tommy Wright joins Carlisle.

Now charged with two counts of accepting a bribe. Court appearance on 24 September.

He's on fire! Miller alight!

Assuming he keeps developing I’d like him to stay. Not in a hurry to lose decent homegrown players. But it would certainly be no surprise if we're tying down “assets” to avoid losing them for nothing.
