Pretty sure it’s four players from one club actually. https://www.lancs.live/sport/footba...ip-loan-rules-transfer-explained-18752805.amp
Pleased to have Hause, disappointed it means we can't sign Archer. I guess we felt we just couldn't wait for Villa to sort out a sale, maybe we have a striker already lined up?
Appears that's right: https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/efl-regulations/section-6---players/
What was the point in our special relationship with Arsenal if we are just going to become Aston Villa B? Happy with the signing though.
Again, good that it is only a loan. Not sure why we are a magnet for players retuning from injuries but the last thing we need is a 5-year deal on a crock.
Does strike me as the kind of player who might be a bit too expensive to keep if we stay down, but not quite good enough for the Prem, though I'm happy to be proven wrong on that front
Does he have a history of injuries? I know he's not played much at Villa, but I think that's just because he's not been favoured over some more illustrious names
So he looks more like Hamza? In fact all our players could, our version of all the Romanian team going blond at France '98
Edu has done a job on us by convincing us to give his son a pointless contract whilst pretending we could get the pick of their young players on loan. Now the contract is all signed, he's blocked Giaretta on WhatsApp.
if he stays fit he will be a great signing for you. Not overly great on the ball, can struggle to turn on a dime (he is a large fellow), but he is a physical animal, and he seems to have a magnet on his head in terms of always seeming to be in the right place, at the right time to deal with crosses and long balls etc, got one heck of a jump on him (i think he's about 6ft 2in, but he has air dominance like a 6ft 5in defender). Very good championship level player i think, tbf when he played for Villa in the PL, if he was playing against any teams that liked to play direct, he looked top class, but did struggle a little with your intricate ball playing type forwards.
Really good signing. I reckon the defence is pretty much done and dusted. Would like another RWB though.
