We can have loans. It just means that one has to be left out of the match day squad on game day. Unfortunately, I think that's a sacrifice Robins is just going to have to make unless he decides to send one of Giles or McCallum back to their respective parent clubs. It's looking likely that...

As I mentioned in the Eccles thread there was a couple of 'if possibles' in the interview. So, it did cross my mind that we may not be aware of the ruling. However, I have to say it would be a bit ridiculous on Robins' behalf (and AV, Badlan as well) if he brought Eccles back on the basis of...

Most people would. However, the fact Dundee United wanted £3m for him last year is nothing short of laughable as he isn't worth anywhere near that.

All transfers come with risk as you rightly say. However, Hamer was highly rated and by all accounts was sought after. With respect to the rest of our European acquisitions I highly doubt there was much of a queue for their signatures. Surely a 2 year contract with the option of a further year...

Would he not need one now though? Admittedly this isn't my area of expertise.

I'd quite like Bapaga to be used at the back end of games when tired legs start to affect the opposition but I think it's far too soon to be putting him in the starting line-up. Throw a young player into the deep end too soon and you run the risk of stunting his development and affecting his...

I was thinking this but I doubt it. I presume Hilsner obtained a Tier 2 visa and under the the regulations when signing oversees players the length of validity is three years or the length of the player's contract, whichever is shorter under the Tier 2 visa.

I don't necessarily think he's good enough to be a Championship regular, but he'd certainly be an interesting option and at the end of the day he's far better than what fit strikers we currently have. But, to suggest he's as bad as Bakayoko is nonsensical.

It's a FIFA imposed Transfer Regulation so it applies for all leagues.

Strange that Robins has said he's looking to loan out Eccles again though. Unless he's unaware of the current ruling stated above I presume that means there has been a temporary change in the regulations.

Gnanduillet scored more goals than Tyler Walker did in League One last season. Baring in mind he only played 3 more games than Walker did as well. If the season wasn't curtailed when it was it's more than likely that he would've hit above the 20 goal mark. He's hardly terrible and if he was a...

Robins has already said he's going to look to loan Eccles out again.

I'd understand if these players were European prodigies with clubs lining up for their signature but the fact that the likes of Kasta, Jobello and Hilsner are dictating contract terms seems a bit bizarre. Most players in their position would surely jump at the chance to play in England...

The club's policy regarding oversees players has been a bit bizarre over the previous couple of years. Why the insistence on giving out 3 year contracts? Seems strange that none have been on 2 year contracts with an option of a further year in our favour. Would at least mitigate the risk factor...

He hardly ripped up any trees last season whilst playing in the Championship? He only scored 10 league goals in over 30-odd appearances. A number of Baggies fans actually think he's past his best as injuries have taken their toll so it'll be interesting to see how he fares for QPR. At the end...

There'll inevitably be a signing on fee though if there's competition for his signature.

I think we need to be careful about putting too many expectations on Eccles and Bapaga. They'll break into the side when the time is right. No need to rush their development or place any unnecessary pressure on them at this stage.

I was stunned to see how severe his dementia actually was. I'm the furthest thing from an expert but speaking on the experience of watching family members suffer with it, they were able to remember things in the distant past quite well but it was the short term memory that was especially...

"But it makes you much stronger going forward". You've made a huge sweeping statement here. I'm unsure why you're labelling other people as morons when your comment in itself was the only thing moronic posted in this thread. Your penultimate sentence is highly ironic because what you've...
