    It's a rule specific to La Liga that the transfer window can be overridden if an injured player has a return date in excess of 5 months, so long as the signee is either a free agent or already playing in Spain.

    The upshot here is that Leganes are the losers. They are in the relegation zone and now they've lost a striker through no fault of their own. They can't sign a replacement because they didn't lose him through injury.

    It ****ing stinks

    It really is ridiculous. Barcelona must have development players that are already better than most La Liga strikers. One rule for one, another rule for someone else.

    Didn’t Carlisle sign a ‘keeper outside of the window? He headed a goal in the final game that kept them in the football league. Steve De’ath if memory serves. As my memory is total bollocks, this post probably is as well!

    Keepers can be signed in an emergency situation outside the window

    As opposed to us using a keeper, in an emergency, as an outfield player...
    Our very own Alan Fettis

    It's weird to think that Josh Magennis started his Professional career as a keeper.

    It's a stupid rule, but it's not 'one rule for one, one rule for someone else'. If Leganes had lost a player through injury they'd also be able to sign a replacement.

    Leganes are now asking for the same allowance to go and buy a striker as they are short in their squad now. If they find one, then that team will want to find a replacement....and so on..

    They can't because their player has not been lost to injury.

    As I said, it's a ****ty rule, but it's not a different rule for different clubs.

    Born in Bangor, County Down, Magennis began his career as an outfield player, playing up front, even representing County Down in the Milk Cup as a youngster, before eventually becoming a goalkeeper. He was a member of the Glentoran youth team before joining the youth team at Cardiff City.

    On 31 October 2007, Cardiff met Liverpool in the Football League Cup but, with David Forde and on-loan goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel ineligible, Magennis took a spot on the bench for the match. The decision to include Magennis was controversial because he had been called up to the Northern Ireland under-19 team but was not allowed to join the squad by manager Dave Jones due to the need to keep the youngster at Cardiff, with only one senior goalkeeper available for the match.[3] In April 2008 he reverted to playing as a striker, just before the FAW Welsh Youth Cup final where he came on as a substitute.

    Magennis signed his first professional contract on 10 April 2009 for Cardiff City,[4] the only second year academy student to be offered a professional deal, and began working with reserve team coach Paul Wilkinson who had previously coached former Cardiff striker Cameron Jerome in a similar manner. On 8 August 2009, Magennis made his professional debut when he replaced Jay Bothroyd as a late substitute on the opening day of the 2009–10 season in a 4–0 win over Scunthorpe United.[5] In his fourth appearance for the club, Magennis scored his first professional goal during a 3–1 win over Bristol Rovers in the second round of the League Cup.[6]

    I know Football Manager doesn't mean much, but they're usually spot on with stuff like this.

    According to the new update, Marcus Maddison's agreed clause is £400k. Surely he's already proved he's worth a bid of that amount?
