Looks like a player who does a lot of poaching which is what we've lacked for a while

Boo. Striker. More midfield please.

Wow, just wow. Did I just watch a peach of a lob v Barcelona?

This guy looks prem quality, I'd say Posso's making a very clear statement what they want and expect

[Jelboy]

He looks like quite similar to Danny Graham in some ways, not brilliant in the air but certainly knows where the net is and looks like he is a decent poacher - looking forward to seeing him play.

Are you having a laugh mate Doyley would get destroyed in those leagues...
1.) He has No Pace
2.) He Cannot Pass (which La Liga and Seri A use a lot)
3.) This season will not get even in to our first team I beleive so how could he get into teams better then ours?
4.) Backs off from every player running at him leaving so much gaps for the attacker to run into and cause us danger

I thought you said you were going to be sensible?

If there's one thing that you can't take away from Doyley it's his ability in one on one situations against opposition wingers. He is without a doubt one of the best one on one full backs in the league when it comes to this.

Also, his pace isn't much of an issue and would most likely be less of an issue in Italian and Spanish leagues.

Agree with JB. For all his faults you don't see Doyley getting done in a 1 to 1 situation nor do you ever see him getting done for pace

This is the kind of signing we needed. Experienced goalscorer. Excellent.

[With A Smile]

I've just looked at his record. His 29 and scored goals in somewhat less quality leagues than the championship.

If Nani thinks that the Spanish, Turkish, Mongolian or ALbanian 2nd divisions are as competitive or are of the same quality as the championship then they may have seriousley under estimated things

Luckily you seem to have been looking at the wrong player, since coming through he's only played in Spain or Serie A. Scoring at the Bernabeau in a competitive league game strikes me as a decent enough level. I'd also argue although certainly different, you cannot say the Spanish 2nd division is of a lower quality than the Championship, Barcelona B struggle to make the top 6 most years, that team would **** all over the Championship.

He likes a good roll around (3.46)

[Evasive]

Looks like a good signing. Although he may be a loan, the Pozzo's have re-loaned players back to Granada for more than a year so some of the Udinese/Granada loans could be semi-permanent signings.

I am so excited about this coming season I have to keep Kleenex handy at all times!!

Time to put this myth about only having 5 loans in the squad to an end, foreign loans are seen as permanent transfers in terms of FA regulations and thus our not part of this number.

Leicester 3 Forest 2 in 2011

Leicester included Naughton, Vitor, Bruma, Mee, Yakubu and Kamara.

As for the signing, it's ****ing awesome.

Really? http://www.football-league.co.uk/reg...633_2125731#52

really? read it again. a maximum of 5 standard, emergency and youth loans.

these loans are none of those. these are international loans which by the rules of the fa are defined as temporary transfers. See below.

Temporary transfer of registration (Loans)

If a player on a work permit or Certificate of Sponsorship is moving to another club in the UK on a temporary transfer of registration (loan) his club must notify UKBA of the fact that he has temporarily moved location. This should be done on the SMS system for players approved
under the Points Based System or by emailing Danielle.Beck@ukba.gsi.gov.uk for players currently on a work permit.

The temporary club does NOT need to make an application for an individual Governing Body Endorsement. When a loan becomes permanent the new club WILL need to make a fresh application on behalf of the player. Clubs should note that the change of employment process must be fully completed before the player can play as a permanent employee of the new club.

For the purpose of these requirements, loans are defined as temporary transfers which do not extend beyond the end of the season in which the registration is temporarily transferred.

Loans are only permissible within the player’s current period of approval and leave and should not be used to avoid making extension or change of employment applications.

Loans from clubs of the FA of Wales, Scottish FA and the Irish FA playing in the Premier League or Football League will not need a new GBE from The FA. Players employed by clubs in the Premier League and Football League on work permits or Certificates of Sponsorship
cannot be loaned to clubs below the Football League.

Players on loan from an overseas club to a UK club must meet all the requirements of Tier 2 or Tier 5 and therefore an endorsement will be required.

Contract changes or re-negotiation during the period of approval. Where a club wishes to re-negotiate a player's contract to improve his conditions and/or salary or length of contract part-way through their approved period, the club should submit a change of employment application (or extension application if the contract period changes).

If the criteria are met, the application will be processed.

If the criteria are not met:

- Where the player's initial contract was for 12 months or longer and the club have requested a panel, The Football Association will consult with the other relevant football bodies by email. They will ask whether the application needs to be considered at a panel. If the football bodies recommend unanimously they are satisfied that the changes do not need to be considered by a panel, then the case can
be processed without one. If any of the governing bodies have concerns with a particular application, a panel will be arranged. See section below on panels.

- Where a player's initial contract was for less than 12 months and the club have requested a panel, it will be arranged as normal.

Can anyone actually post the relevant rules, rather than links to massive handbooks or rulebooks.

Edit. Thanks Opti.

[Optimistichornet]
