Of course not, he'll use the old palace 'experimenting' line.

Gary Dicker played for us against Stockport in Slade's Great Escape finale I think.

CPFC2010 have themselves stated it's a 93 day emergency loan to start with. Recall clauses cannot be written out of emergency loans, so that has to be a gentleman's agreement. Either way 93 days after Jan 31st he is back to being a Brighton player, until July 1st.

If you think about it, all palace have paid so far is a loan fee. Why have an agreement to sell him to palace for a low amount in July? The price must be agreed and high enough that we don't put Dobbie on the open market in the summer. It won't be bargain basement.

Has he signed his new contract? I don't know if he will or if he won't. Some on here say he is desperate to come back to us. I'm not so sure. If he really is, though, the only way it will happen is if he doesn't sign that deal with Palace.

The point is that it's hard to see how that is possible under the rules, given Dobbie's registration with both Swansea and ourselves this season.

Yes, indeed we could ( after 28 days into the loan )

On final day he is a Brighton player ( and I think for the semi finals, but there's debate about that ) When he returns to us we can play him. Technically, we can recall him as well after 28 days. He can't play at all for Palace against us this season ( March 17th, Playoffs ).

Yes, that didn't make sense to me. But the rules do seem clear on the dates, unless they have special dispensation, which to be honest I don't see any grounds for them to get.

And confirmation, from Glenn's heros, CPFC2010 on the BBS, post #2. Guess I'm not so clueless? http://www.cpfc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=240194 So 93 days from the last date of the transfer window means the loan finishes on 4th of May.

OK. Not 100% sure that's possible with Dobbie, but it seems I stand corrected

How can that be? Check the rules on Emergency Loans. Unless ( as I said ) the FL Executive have given special permission, Emergency Loans can be no longer than 93 days. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clueless and being mislead. Please explain to me, wise one, how this emergency loan can...

Clueless. They don't realise unless they get special permission from the FL Executive, then the loan can only be for 93 days.
