How quickly can he be bought back by loan or by permanent transfer ?
Any chance of him being in place for Bournemouth ?

Wouldn't be Bournemouth. Possibly Reading. Get the feeling with the Cardiff situation, he won't be going anywhere until they get a manager in

Don't wait for me!
The new boss of Cardiff may wish to assess his squad for the 2nd half if the season. End of Jan at the earliest I reckon.

There may already be something in place (along the lines of Dobbie to scum last year)

Conway isn't in their 25 player squad so isn't that irrelevant
Do the Premier League clubs reassess their 25 player squads in January?

Yes they rename their 25 man squad at some point soon, presumably once the window has shut on the last day.

Even if we signed him at midnight on New Year's Eve, he would be allowed to play against Bournemouth. It would be great if we could sign him for the Birmingham home game but as has been said elsewhere, Mackay sacking may make that less likely.
If it's going to be the end of January before we can sign him, we might try to get another winger on a month's loan as KLL would be our only available winger otherwise.

I never really understand the 25 man squad in transfer windows. I think at the start of the season, they can play anyone until the squads are confirmed at the beginning of September. Is that the case in January too? Does that mean Conway can play for them from New Year's Day?
They 're-set' their squads during January, so Palace will likely take a player out, to accomodate Murray coming back.

If they couldn't change the 25 man squad any new January signings couldn't play so I assume they can.Conway isn't in their 25 player squad so isn't that irrelevant

Okay, so for Conway to play, they'd have to take a player out and put him in rather than anyone being allowed to play during the transfer window.

Yes, the Transfer window opens on the 1st when anyone from the entire squad can play. I guess the next 25 man squad deadline is at the end of the widow. Hence why Conway won't arrive here anytime soon.
Actually I think I've just made all that up.

That's correct.
During the transfer window, the club can play any player from the squad.
At the end of the window (31st Jan) they have to rename the 25.

As it was Craig Noone who kept Conway out of the 25 man squad, unless he gets an injury, I can see Conway still being out.

Yes, this was why I was checking the actual rule. If they need to take someone out of the squad to put Conway in, I doubt they'll do that (especially as Tan is saying they'll spend money now Mackay has gone) so Conway will be available soon.
However, if they can play anyone until confirming their squad when the transfer window closes, they might be tempted to give him a go for a couple of games. Just wasn't sure which way it worked.
