To be honest, the fact it took so long to sort out suggests that Leutwiler didn't just roll over, which was what @Dave_Ogwas saying...

…which is another assumption. Probably correct though.

So in effect the vast majority of these could be gone at the end of the season and we start from scratch yet again? Hardly what I'd call building a team for the future. Is this the 5 year plan coming to fruition?

. . . and the transfer embargo rules are different outside of a transfer window:

 

"Outside of a transfer window, Clubs can only register Out of Registration players (free agents) and Clubs can only register Out of Registration players if they have less than 16 players of Professional Standing (2x Goalkeepers, 14x Outfield Players)"

 

"In line with Regulation 57, Clubs can register an Emergency Goalkeeper Loan if they don’t have any Professional Goalkeepers available due to injuries, suspensions or international call-ups."

Looks that way, unless the suggestion a signing or two were made last night and the EFL are just going over it with the Hubble telescope is accurate

Less than 16! We're screwed unless we did sneak someone in last night.

Surely it would be announced by now?

Maybe true, but it doesn't really invalidate the gist of what @BP1960 is saying.

I get the impression from this close season that deals are announced some time after they've ben agreed. Don't know why. Perhaps they like to build up the excitement. If true, then it's bollocks. It just makes me stressed, thinking we're totally screwed.

Thanks, he likes to shout, even when missing the point, which was the seemingly failure of the 5 year plan.

Think events from March 2020 onwards probably put the skids under any plan, bizarre that people keep making reference to it.

[Sloshed Joe]

When would we next be allowed to dip into the loan market for a CB or CF? Does it open up again in a weeks time or do we have to wait until Jan?

You expecting them to issue a new one? Me neither.

Wasn't exactly going swimmingly before then either though, to be fair...

Indeed not. It's just bleedingly obvious

Undoubtedly then, fans desperate for live football having missed it for 18 months, will return to BP in droves - just like other clubs.

Oh hang on...

Latics could be without Dylan Bahamboula for a total of 20 days because of international duty and Covid restrictions.

And there's another Int break in October, isn't there...?

Yep but both of those games in October are currently scheduled to be in current Amber list countries (Togo and Congo).

 

The Oldham Times is slightly wrong as Namibia are playing Congo in Jo’burg, South Africa, however, as South Africa is also red list country it doesn’t make much difference.

 

As far as I can interpret the rules, Bahamboula may not have to isolate if he stays in Congo a bit longer, so he’s not been in a red list country for the past 10 days and he’s been vaccinated. I’d hope all of Oldham’s players will have received at least the first dose of vaccination.

 

It’s a challenge for all clubs and hopefully the club do better at interpreting the rules than they have with other rules lately.

[BP1960]

Bahamboula not even in the Congo squad today.

Thryve left him behind so he doesn't go in to a red country
