We can’t sign anyone until jan free agents or not we have named our 25 man squad

Olympiakos seems to be the likely destination; going against previous rumours he was signing for an English PL side; although it could have meant Daya's struggling West Ham United at the Olympiakos Stadium in East London! :laughing6:

The new rules state that the only way a change can happen is if a rostered player leaves in the European transfer window then his place can be taken by a new loan signing or free agent, that is the only way a change can take place until January

This indicates otherwise.

Cannot sign any player out of the transfer window and register them.

The other option is to have a striker who is under 21 or under 21 and home grown and is eligible to play even if not named as part of the 25 man squad

I am not a specialist in this subject but from Mac's rule book it seems a change to the Squad List can be made during a transfer window or at any time if the PL Board agree. The difficult bit is getting the PL Board to allow a change which next to never happens unless there is a Goalkeeping crisis at a particular club.

Does the player already have to be at the club for a certain amount of time or in theory could a club sign an out of contract U21 homegrown player now and use him in the PL?

Mark Harris would fit the bill although he is on loan to Newport County. If continues his progress there he might be recalled in January and he won't take up a place in the 25 man squad.

Players under 21 don’t have to be registered regardless of how long they have been at the club.

Although I doubt just because he’s doing well at League 2 level he’s going to be ready for the premier league.

Doesn't matter who the striker is, unless they get more support goals are going to be very very rare other than set pieces.

Also a strike that is premiership quality that’s under 21 won’t be available as a free transfer and if he was he almost definitely be going to a bigger club then ours.

Can we stop all this talk now it’s getting a bit embarrassing. If people who support other teams come on here they are going to think what a bunch of dipshits.
It’s like going on the wolves an Villa forums last season an reading the absolute bollocks they were writing.

Our squad is our squad until January you all need to just accept it. There’s no special loop holes to be exploited.

I’m sure there’s player in every 25 man squad fans would sell don’t change anything though.

Seems Yaya was rejected by Pelligrini and West Ham United (after crunch talks with Daya, of course!) ;)

I’m happy with the squad, NW knows what he needs and wants and is prepared to wait until January. My comments are more along the lines of pointing out the loopholes that can be used, it was mentioned on Sky Sports News last week about Hazard possibly leaving Chelsea because the European window hasn’t closed and that’s when it was mentioned that the loop hole of a named player leaving the roster to a European team is the only way a change can be sanctioned before January, the Home Grown rule and U21 rule run alongside the 25 man squad effectively giving managers options from the development system without having to name them in the 25
