Clueless from the club if this is true.

Questions would have to be asked as to whether potter can handle premier league players if we have let another go for no good reason.

Yes he can handle Premier League players. Wait for the next chapter on this.

If this is true, given its out there.
Then Graham Potter is making a huge decision, probably based on the incident at the Southampton game and other stuff, we are not privy too yet.
I like Andone, the way he niggles the opposing defenders, but this may not fit into GP ethos of a calming team atmosphere.
Andone may have made a complete cock of himself quoting Shakespear, given the suprise event GP had the team doing.
Whatever happens, I'll be excited to see how Aaron Connolly gets on, when he scores his first senior goal :thumbsup:

Hmmm....so two short arses up front we won’t be posing much of an aerial threat ....ah I see it now Shane’s playing number nine

Right, but that supposes that the club have only just discovered that Crofts counts or they weren't going to name him in the squad at all and he couldn't have helped out with the U23s as the club announced.

Doesn't it?

Sorry - I'm still struggling here.

Think that we can’t sign a free agent if we have 25 senior players at the club, if Crofts counts as a senior player it would stop us signing a free agent even if we aren’t naming him in our 25.

Crofts doesn't have to be in the 25 to be a player coach at the albion.

However, he'll have to be registered as a player in some capacity.

Does this player registration count as a senior player ? If so, he takes preference in the 25 over a new free agent.

It's academic since Ahannach went to USG this morning.

I bet HughTown is having a massive hissy fit:-

"Why did I have to buy all the shite.
Not only can he (spit) offload them, but only has to buy centre backs".


Toys EVERYWHERE.

Genuinely no idea, but there is always the chance a club would release a player, making them a free agent, in order that they can then sign for another club.

Pretty much what we did with Hemed and Charlton in fact.

(No, I don't have any knowledge on this at all)

They have to be a free agent before the window closed though. There is no chance we are bringing a freebie in, only Danny Simpson is the one I could ever see coming in.

Because he may need to be registered as such as part of his U23 player-coach role ???

He doesn't have to named in the 25 squad though does he? Think you're getting very confused.

After Southampton and him wasting his opportunity as a starter then surely his position should be as supersub.

Strikers who can finish as he did at Watford or when he ripped the Palace defence apart do not grow on trees. Knockaert, Locadia, Andone and even Goldson - all departed for f*ck-all cash.

This isn’t about the 25 man ‘squad’ as such.

It’s that the Premier League do not allow the signing of free agents if you have 25 senior players under contract at the club.

Even though we won’t name him in the 25 he is still a senior player under contract at the club which would stop us signing a free agent.

What’s the deadline for ins and outs for free agents and loans?
