This would be a breach of FA rules. A player whose contract has been permanently registered with a club via permanent transfer can't be limited in this way.
However! There would be nothing stopping the clubs having made a gentleman's agreement not to use the player in an upcoming fixture. It wouldn't be legally binding, but we have done this in the past.
When we re-signed Johnny Byrne from Oxford, we had such a verbal agreement not to play him in our next match against them, in return for the free transfer switch to us.

Whether he scores or not, he's helped to shore up their previously shitty defence, whilst at the same time weakening ours. With regard to BDB, those are the two main issues we're going to have to cope with on Saturday.

It would be VERY Brighton for him to score against us, that's why I'm sticking a tenner on it.

Oh I'm sure the Saudis like nothing more than a good old-fashioned gentleman's agreement!
Come on. He's hardly played for them. He can't score from the bench

It would be quite annoying but you’d be better off with Chris Wood I think.

Burn has scored what? About 2 goals in the last 4 years? Hat-trick Saturday then……..
I forgot about Wood. Bollocks.

Yes. One against City last season and from Mwepu’s flick on against Everton.
People always used to say that it was inevitable that Ashley Barnes would score against us. I think he managed just one goal in 13 appearances since his transfer to Burnley in 2014.

I think he'll look awkward. As usual.

Appreciate this is putting a curse on things but have many ex BHA players scored against us?
I can only think of Barnes and Wood in recent times. And FFSMurray of course.

Of course he'll score, with a power header (the like of which we never saw), from a set piece and he'll go batshit mental!!

If he did I don't believe he would. But the damage has already done. His move has strengthened them, and weakened us. There's no disputing that.
