Where's the 5 or 6 loanees, in the match day squad rule gone?

Foreign loans aren't classed as loans apparently

Overseas loanees apparently don't count as they are considered the same as permanent transfers. So only domestic loans count towards the limit

Thanks :ayatollah:

Sounds a bit crazy to me, they should all count. Loan players are loan players nevermind where they come from.

Great transfer embargo they have.

What happened to their transfer embargo??

Cant blame Watford for bending the rules but its a loop whole that needs looking at.

Owners having 3 clubs dont sit well with me and the way they move players about as well.

In honesty I didn't expect them to do that well but that Vydra and 2 other players have been a great boost to the squad.

Id hope people are looking into it tho.

Surely it cant be right for watford to loan a player from another club (owned by same person) then Watford loan him out again.
Bordering on money laundering surely

Embargos are great :ayatollah:

There's only one Graham Taylor.....not a turnip after all, got the FA in his pocket. :ayatollah:

Good luck to them. Theyre not breaking the rules as pointed out above. Very clever by the club in my opinion and until or if the rules change then they will carry on doing it.Not all loan signings turn out good for the club, but in Watfords case its really pushed them on.

I seem to remember all the clubs pointing their finger at our club.
Loan signings don't always work has we can vouch.
