Can we sign sean morrison??

With the embargo, are we allowed to sign sean morrison up on a contract? Or was he already signed on a contract before the embargo?

Im not convinced on perry ng as a centre back, he is a good defender but i dont think he is strong enough or good enough in the air to cut it there, i think morrison will offer us more steel there

We can sign unattached players and people on loan aslong as we aren't paying any of their wages.

I dont think that's true , if we sign a loan player it's we have to pay the whole amount of there wages not a percentage. Also i think there is a wage cap on a unattached player . We just can't pay a transfer fee , we have to have 23 full time players

EFL state that clubs under embargo “are only permitted to ‘staff up’ by signing players on loan or players not registered with another club [free agents]”. Loan deals can only be for half a season and loan fees are not allowed, while free agents are only allowed to be signed on contracts until the end of the campaign. Once again though, each embargoed club’s power in the transfer market is dealt with individually,

If we could use him, I would bring him on if we are chasing a game and play him up front. He’s proved he knows where the net is, and would be a pain in the arse for the opposition. Perfect for set pieces.
He would also gee up the team too.

I would get a striker on loan before putting Morrison in tbh.

According to the EFL he is one of the 22 players under contract with us at the moment. What type of contract and for how long I don't know.
