I wonder what happens now with our final full back vacancy.

As far as I can tell, we now have 5 loan players - Doyle, Alves, Broadhead, Dejaku and Hoffman.

If we sign a 6th, one will have to miss out on the squad.

It could be that if the 6th is a full back option, they miss out when all others are available if the Cirkin and Huggins are.
Or the fullback isn’t a loan

Unless one of these deals today ends up being a permanent signing? Not sure the club would willingly go over the 5 loan limit with this in mind

Think the foreign loans don’t count
 
Yeah mate. Couldn't understand that, when there was still 3-4 weeks of the window to go <doh>

Obviously we will have to see how these new lads pan out, but it's looking very promising. I remember Nixon a few weeks ago trying to be a cunny funt with a mag on twitter. Mag said "they're waiting to sign quality", Nixon "they'll be waiting a LONG time". We'll see.

Maybe this is why the deal for the Arsenal lad has stalled. We've reached our 5 loans and the recruitment team are now turning their attention to bringing in a permanent signing at full back, such as Key from Exeter.

Just shows how much that f*cker knows. Have the mags actually signed ANYONE in this window apart from Willock, who was on loan last season?
 
Just scanned the EFL rules and couldn't see anything that differentiated between a foreign and domestic loan when it came to the 5 limit per squad.

This is correct I think. You can sign a max of 8 players on loan,but only up to 5 can be included in a match day squad.It doesn't matter whether the loaning clubs are domestic or foreign.

Just loaded up a FM21 game I haven't played since June to see how good these lads are in the digital world.

I'm in 2026:
  • Dajaku is worth £10m and has 3 caps for Germany
  • Hoffman is worth £2m - no German caps but spent his whole time in the Bundesliga
  • Dennis Cirkin is worth £26m, has 32 caps for Ireland and is Hertha Berlin's first choice left back
  • Niall Huggins is worth £4m and is playing in the Championship for Birmingham
  • Fred Alves is ****e - worth £150k in the Danish leagues, no caps for Denmark
  • Callum Doyle is a regular in the Premier League for Leeds - worth £13m but no England caps yet
