dylanisabaddog 6,133 Posted March 26, 2021 May be a technicality but on what date do we become a Premier League club for the purpose of the new Brexit rule? Could we sign players under EFL rules before that date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,008 Posted March 26, 2021 Non starter unless we buy and loan back. This is a key position for us and we don't want to be scrapping around Dutch 2nd Division anyway tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rules have been in since December, its for all levels of English leagues that 15 points are needed for GBE not just PL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantwell being one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be amazed if Hanley and Gibson were not considered to be the "starting pair" in the prem. Any in-coming centre-backs will be back-ups and competition, I would have thought, and not upgrades.

Indy 3,471 Posted March 27, 2021 Although I agree that to stay up we really need to upgrade on Hanley & Zimmermann, Gibson has shown that he’s definitely good enough for us in the premiership if he shakes off this injury with no ill effects, but the reality is we’ll follow the same process as we did two years ago, carefully spending the limited budget we might make and development of some younger fringe squad players.

Hanley + Gibson has been one of our best defensive pairings in a long time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
