I dont think its a rule, more there is no rule to stop it. Should more clubs start exploiting it I suspect it will be nipped in the bud.
The maximum number of loan players in a match day squad is 5, regardless of where they are from. The maximum number of players from 1 club is 4, however a foreign club can loan as many as they want to 1 club. This is why Watford have or had at least 11 players from Udinese & why they don't play all the players at any one time. '52.3.1 A maximum of 5 loan Players (Standard, Emergency or Youth) can be named in the Players listed on a team sheet for any individual match played under the auspices of The League. This figure shall include any additional loan of a goalkeeper approved by the Executive under the provisions of Regulation 54.' Unless there is something missing.
I think there is. I believe speaking to Ipswich fans that they had 8 loanees in their match day squad under PJ. Five were from English clubs, 1 from Scotland, 1 from France and another from somewhere that I cannot remember
That can't be right, there were seven loan players in Watford's last match squad, in fact, they all played.
There does seem to be some kind of loophole regarding loans from foreign teams, so I believe that it's actually possible to have an entire team of loan players, 5 can be from England & the rest can be from foreign clubs. Just read that from 14/15 the emergency window will be shut, although this story is over a year old so may have changed now. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...des-emergency-loans-contravene-its-rules.html
Al Ahly want 600000 ⬠for both players for 6 month loan deal 300000 for Gedo 300000 for Fathi about 500000 £
Snap their hand off. Even if we get Elmo back he could get injured so Fathi would be worth having at that price. Win Win situation.
Does to me, if they play together and score together and Gedo can win half the headers he has against Championship teams versus African national teams, we will no doubt win a handful more games than without them, if this means a better chance of automatic then fantastic.
I am sure we will have to pay a bit more than normal to steal 2 of their best players from them considering the Egyptian league starts in a few weeks.
The poster who quoted those figures, has anyone took any notice of his name? FOXegypt. Doesn't that sound a bit fishy to everyone? Especially as it's his first post!!
Depends. How much did we pay for the luxury of Amos? Any deals now are a bit of a gamble and have to be evaluated against their potential to improve our promotion chances.
fishy?! no not at all i already picked an egyptian name so it will be clear i am an egyptian I work in a famous egyptian sport site and this figures coming directly from Al Ahly Marketing director Magdy Tolba from what he told me Hull city didn't specify a certain fee in their offer but Al Ahly will reply tomorrow with those figures you guys must understand that both players are very important for the club esp Fathy who is in another league comparing to his replacements in the club btw this isn't my first post i posted a video yesterday for Al Ahly vs Corinthians Club World Cup 2012 so you can watch how Gedo and Fathi did in a big match like this but it wasn't allowed
just a thought , but how much game time have these players had since that Riot on the pitch that cancelled the Egyptian premier league ? is their season up and running ?
I think you can not post videos until you have been registered for a certain amount of time. If you private message me with it I will post it for you.
Here you all go. This is a video of Al Ahly vs Corinthians. Both Gedo and Fathi play. Foxegypt said "this was a month ago so you can see both players are in form AL Ahly dominated the second half but we just couldn't score " I havent watched it since it is an entire game and not just highlights. I am going to watch it in a few though. [video=youtube;7J-UKzJMleQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J-UKzJMleQ[/video]
